A Gift for the Beer Lover

This holiday season, give the gift of beer. Because, why not? I have a friend who is a beer connoisseur, and thought this would be the perfect gift. The rustic bottle caddy is a portable party, conveniently affixed with a bottle opener. Throw in a few of your favorite beers/ciders, dress it up with festive ribbon, and you're all set!

bottle caddy available from world market, red and white twill ribbon and hang tag available at paper source, matilda beer and rogue stout sold at bev mo

BAGuette

Uncommon Goods

It's almost November, the holidays are almost here, and I'm already perusing the web for interesting gifts. I stumbled upon these baguette carriers, which are absolutely genius.. Not only would this make a great gift, you can carry a baguette with ease, while keeping it secure!

Cheeseboard Collector

When Sanrio was all the rage in the 90's, I collected everything Keroppi. I couldn't resist that little frog and had everything from a Keroppi backpack to stationery.
As an adult, I am now into building my collection of cheese boards. Currently, I have a few wooden and marble boards. But not porcelain quite yet...These porcelain boards by mb art studios has a beach vibe and a hand-rendered look and feel that I really enjoy.

Watercolor Beauties

I am captivated by the beauty of  Kelly Ventura's watercolor paintings. The ethereal quality of her work is truly mesmerizing. I enjoy how the paint runs freely on the canvas and is not restricted to contour lines. Just lovely!

Rustic & Beautiful Boards

I love the rustic beauty of these Footed Platte cutting boards from Gray Works Design. The natural wood striations, its curvaceous shape and the use of diverse hardwoods greatly appeal to me. That's not all...The boards are made from local and sustainable American hardwoods and use organic food safe finishes. Aren't they pretty? They're the perfect canvas for showing off your gourmet delights.

Valentine's Day Cards for Food Lovers

Valentine's day is almost here, and for those who are still looking for the perfect card, I've brought you some fun options- food-related, of course. I do love a good card, especially the kind of cards with cute puns that bring a smile to my face.
One of the most memorable Valentine's day cards I received was one with an image of Tabasco sauce that read, "You're hot." I loved it.

I hope you enjoy these selections!

Hungry Socks

I expressed my dislike for the fashion food trend here. However, I'm not that bothered by these socks. Sure, it's kind of silly, but I like my socks printed! Wouldn't a pair of these socks add a whimsical touch to an outfit? You could wear a different sock on each foot and create a food pairing. What do you think, yay or nay?
