You don’t really want to give another sweater or wallet for Christmas this year, do you?
As I’m strolling around other blogs, I often see things that might be wonderful gifts for the right person. And you don’t have to wonder if your recipient already has one of these. Chances are they don’t. I’ve left some of the link names vague on purpose to entice you to explore. Have fun and let me know if you find something!
1. 3. Make Your Own Black Currant Jelly

5. Dog Crate That Looks Like Furniture
7. Oral Fixation (stocking stuffer!)
10. Support Gorillas for Someone
11. Freedom Grill

Thanks for the mention. Those grills do look pretty cool:)
In the quest to save energy, save money and set an example to my kids, I googled kids favorite plant and found a REAL plant that MOVES when you Tickle It! See the video http://www.ticklemeplant.com/video/video.htm
It looked amazing to see a plant actually close its leave and lower its branches when tickled, but could I duplicate this at home in my apartment here in New York? I put it to the test! Within a few days the 2 leaves sprout and as per the packaging, only closed at night. That alone was worth the small price I paid for the TickleMe Plant Greenhouse. A few weeks later small leaves appeared from the center. Would they close up when tickled? Well, not only did the leaves close but the entire tiny branch drooped. I fell in love at first tickle! No batteries required just the rays of the sun or a descent light and some water No green thumb needed as I don’t have one. Will it turn my 6 year old into the next Martha ..well its too early to tell but the smile she had on her face when she tickled the plant and it moved was priceless.
