2010 Holiday Gift Ideas

| 5 Comments | No TrackBacks

I put together a list of 10 gift ideas for the thirty-something males or females in your life.  Some are things I own and love, and others are things that are on my personal wish list for this year.  All links provided are affiliate links to amazon.com.  Happy shopping!

 

1.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood   ($54.44)

Most of the guys I know play video games.  I will often buy a video game for my boyfriend for his birthday or Christmas, and it's a big hit with him and his friends usually comment on how awesome a girlfriend I am.  I bought Assassin's Creed II previously and seems to be a popular game.  New version just came out so this seems like a perfect gift. 

 

2.

Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker   ($69.95)

My boyfriend and I recently had dinner of at our friends house and for dessert they made home-made ice cream.  My boyfriend went nuts over it.  I'm thinking he might enjoy getting one of these for Christmas.  One other awesome thing about giving this to him is I get to use it too! 

 

3.

Apple iPad MB292LL/A Tablet (16GB, Wifi)   ($542.00 - $985.98)

My boyfriend has wanted one of these since they first came out.  I was vaguely enticed as well.  I got to use one first had a few weeks ago and it was pretty sweet.  I'm still debating whether or not to shell out the major cash for this.

4. 

Keurig.jpg

Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System   ($129.99)

I am not a coffe drinker, but I certainly know a lot of people who are.  And everyone seems to love this Keurig.  I don't think you can go wrong with this if you know a coffee drinker who doesn't already have one.

 

5. 

Kindle.jpg

Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display - with New E Ink (Pearl) Technology   ($139.00)

This is one that's on my personal wish list.  I have been resisting for a while, but a couple months ago I got the bug and now want one.   Clicking the link above will thake you to a page that has lots of reviews and videos and more details on this kindle as well as the other kindle products.

 

6. 

pizza stone.jpg

Oneida Bakeware Rectangular Baking Stone w/Rack  ($14.99)

I love making home-made pizza.  We make a healthier version than eating pizza out or ordering in.  We use whole wheat crust and low fat mozz. cheese.  I bought this for my boyfriend's parents, they loved it, so I had to buy one for myself, too!  It works great and makes a big difference with the pizza.  Now I just need a pizza peel.

 

7.  smartwool socks trio.jpg

Smartwool Women's Ultra Comfy Trio Gift Box Socks   ($49.95)

I got a couple pair of these for my birthday in September and absolutely love them.  Cute, comfortable, warm, high quality.  A little on the expensive side considering how cheap you can get a pack of Hanes for, but well worth it in my opinion.

 

8.  the help.jpg

The Help ($12.48)

This is by far my favorite book that I have read this year.  Probably in my top 5 of all-time.  I think almost any thirty-something female would enjoy this book. 

 

 

9.  travel garment bag.jpg 

Travel Garment Bag for Dresses   ($11.82)

I've been to a lot of out of town weddings over the last year and and half I really could have used one of these on each of those trips. 

 

10. 

ugg slippers.jpg

Raspberry Rose Cozy Knit Womens Ugg Slippers   ($100.00)

I have hardwoods throughout my entire house and slippers are really a must (although my boyfriend disagrees).  Several of my family members have had Ugg slippers for a few years now and they've held up really well and they really like them.  I think these pair is really cute -- I love the pretty raspberry color.

If you're looking for more ideas here's what I came up with in 2009:

That pizza pan thing looks awesome. And you make your own pizza? Of course you do. :) You should post the recipe, wink wink. ;)

And that book looks good - the cover, anyway - gasp, I'm judging it so - what's it about?

Heh, I may have given the wrong impression about "making our own pizza". There isn't much of a recipe. We buy a big lump of whole wheat dough, roll it out, add some "pizza sauce" from a can, add some low fat mozz. cheese, pepperoni, peppers, onions, (sometimes carmelized in a frying pan first), then a little more cheese on top.

One important thing to note about the pizza stone though is you put that in the oven while it is preheating -- then you take it out and then put the pizza on the hot stone and back in the oven. Also, we add a bit of cornmeal on the stone.

I will try and email you about The Help when I get a chance -- or maybe write up a post!

Keep such posts is not difficult if you accept criticism and suggestions from other parties.

When I firstly saw your web, I've been around in many pages that I'll use to get my final assignment. I googling with my short idea in my brain, and then I met with useful article. I hope you can give several advices to me, because your knowledge is great, it can help many students to get great score in every task or project. If you don't mind, I will contact you to make short discussion for my project. I write my short comment for you to give support for your site; my friends had used your article as reference in specific term and condition. After that, my friends are satisfied with your article (I've given reference to read many pages in your site). We can make other discussion later, because it will be worth to me. Thanks in advance, hope you contact me, so we can broaden our knowledge together.

WOW why dont you close your comment ? Have a nice day
