Protection from The Elements… of Your Fridge April 23, 2009

Once something is sliced, it seems to be so vulnerable to drying out, particularly in the fridge. Solutions Catalog thought of that when they started selling their Produce Saver Sets. Available in sets of two (lemon & lime, garlic & tomato, red onion & yellow onion) for $7.95 each. Instead of using disposable plastic wrap every time, you can use the same containers again and again.

Chocolate Bunnies April 12, 2009

Leonidas offers Belgian chocolates fresh and delicious to the world. On a day when chocolate bunnies are peeking out of baskets worldwide, it seems lovely to imagine Leonidas Belgian Chocolate Easter Bunnies (two for $24) in your Easter basket. Maybe Easter treats available aside from bunnies.

¿La Cerveza, Mi Amigo? March 24, 2009

This vibrant and bonita Cantina Tray ($7.99) will make it seem like Cinco de Mayo year-round and helps you carry anything to the table or patio, not just beer. What a lovely addition to your entertaining tableware! The bright red and sky blue are fun for outdoor parties as well as indoor.

Put together with a set of nice beer glasses and you have a wonderful housewarming or wedding gift. This would be particularly fitting if it is given to/from a guy.

Made With Love February 18, 2009

Send sweets treats for midterms or to soften the blow between winter and spring breaks with From-Mom.com. Choose from a wide range of items, including brownies (even blondies), muffins, marshmallow dream bars (like Rice Krispie Treats), and mini loafs – starting at $1.75.

Their packages go beyond baked goods though! Speciality packages include Gluten Free, Thinking of You, Happy Birthday, Final Exams, SMARTpacks, and Build Your Own. The care packages look like a great night in the dorms, but the baked goods make me want to run to my kitchen and start baking so I am sharing photos of both to be fair.
