Holidays on Ice. My favorite holiday reading! I read this book every holiday season and it always makes me laugh. This Dave Sedaris’s book brings three stories, with a Christmas theme of course, together. I love his account of being a Christmas elf at a major department store. From Amazon.
Panasonic Lumix. Great deal for the holidays! On sale for $89, down from $150. The DMC-FH1 features a developed 28mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom f/2.8-6.9 LUMIX DC VARIO lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-140mm) into a compact body. Comprising 6 elements in 5 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses with 5 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit realizes the outstandingly slim and compact body yet achieving exceptional optical performance. Love the hot pinkness too!
William Sonoma Hot Chocolate. Nothing says holiday like a warm cup of hot chocolate and this is some of the best in the biz. Hot chocolate is a distinctly different sip than hot cocoa. Inspired by the famed Café Angélina in Paris, where steaming pots of velvety hot chocolate are served with bowls of whipped cream alongside, William Sonoma’s is intensely chocolatey, rich and smooth. The peppermint is my fave! From William Sonoma.
OPI Burlesque. OPI Burlesque Little Teasers Mini Nail Lacquer Set includes four OPI Holiday Burlesque Nail Lacquers in mini 1/8 oz sizes. Just enough to give these colors a whirl before deciding to buy the whole bottle. Great colors for the holiday season: OPI Rising Star (Glimmering gold), OPI Take the Stage (Warm orange shimmer), OPI The Show Must Go On! ( Deep pink shimmer), and OPI Ali’s Big Break ( Glowing red shimmer).
Tasting Plate. Keep dips from pooling into a saucy mess with this multi-pod serving plate. Fill its serving square with rounds of baguette, toasted pita or savory chips to complement up to four different dips or tapenades. Great gift for those into entertaining $25. From Uncommon Goods.
