My list this year has several repeats, things that I’ve blogged about this past year, but are so good that I need to tell you about them again.
First on my list is the loveliest, best illustrated cookbook I’ve ever owned and I’ve had countless ones. My daughter-in-law Lindsay is a fan of The Forest Feast blog. It’s a wonderful site with fantastic recipes and the author, Erin Gleeson now has a cookbook. She bought it for me for my birthday last month, and it’s hands down my favorite cookbook of all time. It’s beautifully illustrated, the recipes are fresh and innovative, if you have a foodie in your family, this would be a wonderful gift. The video above showcases Erin and her cookbook.
Here’s a link to Amazon if you want to purchase it.
If you’re an iPhone girl, this is wonderful. It’s a HiRise charger for iPad Mini and iPhone, works with all of the newer iPhones. I have it on my desk and it charges really quickly and you can talk hands free easily. It’s only $27.99 from Amazon, they have a brand new model with more color choices, but it’s lots more money.
Loreal Visible Lift CC Concealer - it rolls on, very cooling, firms your skin, conceals those dark circles, just does a great job and the price is right. Need I say more...
Not only does Amazon Prime continue to be the best thing ever for me, the number of free albums you can stream on your computer when you subscribe to Amazon Prime are mind boggling. Wonderful selection, just the best! And, do you know that if you buy a music dvd from Amazon that they also allow you to download the same album for free on your computer? I love technology! Amazon Instant Stream movies, good but it could never replace Netflix for me.
I bought these Ugg Cardy boots earlier this fall and they’re a winner. I sprayed them with waterproof protectant, and just love them. Not for rain or snow, but great any other time. I’m an Uggs fan, they’re easy wear for me. Free shipping from Nordstroms, too.
MAC Copperplate Eyeshadow - I’m a drugstore makeup junkie, except for eye shadow. MAC is just the best, always good pigmentation, smooth application, not that pricey and it lasts forever. I found Copperplate a few weeks ago when I was looking for a grey/taupe color and this is perfect., no blue cast at all, like a lot of grey shadows, this is such a good color.
We don’t have a MAC store or counter in Heavensville, so I order mine from Nordstroms, $16 and free ship.
I bought this red Vitamin 750 Pro this summer, and oh my did it ever create controversy. My family and friends thought I had lost my ever-lovin’ mind paying this much money for a “blender.”
Well, let me tell you how wrong they were. It’s the most wonderful piece of kitchen equipment, and I use it almost daily. Love, love, love this and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It was a wonderful investment!
If I could come to each and every one of your homes with hubby in tow and have him install this jar opener under your cabinet, I would do it. That’s how much I love it. Oh how I struggle with jar lids, but no more. This is the best jar opener you will ever find at the best price, too. Only $16.95. Rock star status with this one.
I’m such a fan of Torani’s Sugar Free Syrups. I have several varieties, Chocolate, S’Mores, Pineapple, Cherry, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon and they’re all excellent. I buy mine thru Netrition, which, by the way is the best online seller for Low Carb and Nutrition products. It’s always flat rate shipping $4.99 regardless of how much you buy. I could write a whole blog about the wonderful products I buy from Netrition. They sell other brands as well, but I’ve had the best luck with Torani.
Oh BookBook, how do I love you, let me count the ways. It’s the best iPhone case ever, looks like you’re carrying around a book, and it has slots for driver’s license and credit cards. It’s just amazing. I just upgraded to iPhone 6, and I’m awaiting the new release of BookBook for this phone.
I also have BookBook for my iPad and Mini. These are just the best products, vintage looking, classy, long wearing, I’m such a fan.
You can view all the BookBooks at Twelve South
And that’s my list for 2014. Hope I gave you all some possibilities for your Christmas list this year.
Happy Holidays!!!
