ok, ok, so I didn't get to my Friday Favorite on Friday but I am up early and have a great thing to share with you. It is a really fun website called Delight.com. I happen to really enjoy gift giving and I like to think up fun and unusual gifts to buy for friends and family. In fact, I hate being rushed in my gift shopping, I feel like rushing forces me to purchase gifts that are not genuine. I have never been able to do the whole "gift stash" thing-keeping generic gifts on hand in case of emergency. I like to tailor presents to the recipient even if it is by color choice. Something, anything, that says " I really thought of you!". So I found this fun website and have already started scouring it for my mom and sisters Christmas gifts! The site enables you to shop through categories if you like-back to school, for the cook, kids and families-really nice. These are a few of my instant favorites-the recyclable shopping bags-I try to remember to take my big reusable bags in the grocery store with me but they are big and cumbersome and I forget them most of the time. These come as a set and fold up into a tiny pouch inside your purse (which I never forget). I also liked the collapsible colander-I have a "quaint" -read small-kitchen and I have 3 large colanders that take up a lot of room. This collapses flat into a drawer or you can tuck it in with your cookie sheets. Then there is this clear teapot set that comes with 30 tea posies...they make for such a great tea loving experience-you watch the tea blossoms expand in the hot water...a nice grandmother or mother gift, don't you think? Don't I sound like an advertisement? ha! I REALLY like easy shopping for unusual things. Hard to combine easy and unusual. This site gives you no excuse to cruise through Marshall's 2 days before Christmas to grab the broken leftovers as gifts. Right? Right! PS Starting your shopping early is less of a hit to your wallet...I know, I know you feel like you spend more but when you shop online BUT you never overspend like you do when you are out grabbing things in a hurry...trust me.
Anyhoo, it is a beautiful day and I am going to drag my border collie out for a walk...or maybe she is going to drag me out for a walk! See ya!
