MUST HAVE COOKBOOKS

From BarnesandNoble.com

Our friend Miah is a self-made great cook, but when I asked him to give me the titles of his favorite cookbooks, he replied instead by saying– “Well…I’ll answer the question a little differently…my most USED cookbooks are… ” Perfect answer! Thanks Miah.

Mark Bittman’s Classic- How To Cook Everything: $20.47

CUSTOM PHOTO ALBUMS

From iPhoto or Blurb.com- $3.99-$49.99-. I have a Mac computer, and every time I go to iPhoto and see all the cool ways you can easily assemble and print photo albums, I’m completely blown away. For you non-Mac users, blurb.com also specializes in printing photo albums. Creating a custom photo album for a family member or friend is not only thoughtful and special- it’s pretty darn affordable! Hint Hint- Auntie Brandi would just love to get a custom album from her nephews this year…

FAVORITE GIFT CARDS & GIFT CERTIFICATES

3 Month Gift Membership to Netflix- $41.97- Brandi’ parent’s STOP READING NOW! (you’re getting it again…). Last year I got a Netfilx membership for Jean & Rick. They loved the ease of this online movie rental service so much, I just have to include it again in this year’s gift guide!

American Express Gift Cards- $25 or $50- Of course gift cards are not the most original idea on the planet, but they are the most fool proof! We did our homework, and while many ‘use anywhere’ gift cards expire and deduct fees after a certain point, Amex cards can be used at any place that accepts American Express, they have no monthly fees, no lost value, and they never expire. If the ‘valid through’ date on the physical card expires, just call, and they’ll send you a new one!

iTunes Gift Certificates- $10-$50- For the music, TV, & movie lovers out there, iTunes offers a great solution for a last minute gift or stocking stuffer. Even if you wait until Christmas morning, all you have to do is purchase the certificate online, print it out or email it to your intended- and just like that- you’re ingenious!

Barnes & Noble Gift Card-$10 & Up – Everyone likes to read, right? Great for co-workers, grab bags, and stocking stuffers- Choose in increments of $10 how much you want to spend. You can’t go wrong with a gift card!

Pet Smart Gift Cards- $25 or $50- Although you’re used to seeing them with a bird on their shoulder, a dog at their side or a cat curled up in their lap, pet lovers are people too, and they all love to spend money on their non human companions. The costs of having a pet can really add up therefore a Pet Smart gift card is a thoughtful animal friendly gesture that will help take a bite out of your pet lover’s pet care costs!
