On the RocksOctober 28, 2009Posted by: Dana S.
While most drinks get diluted quickly when you put ice in them, these whiskey stones will stayed chilled to the last drop.

So whether it's bourbon on the rocks, or a steaming Hot Toddy, this unique gift can be enjoyed year round, or even slipped in his stocking. |
Coffee TalkOctober 28, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
Activate the machine and it will ask you, “Would you like to set the coffee brewing time?” and will then proceed to prompt questions that will set your machine. Based on your responses, the Talking Coffee Maker will have up to 10 cups of your morning joe ready for you exactly when you want it. I’m not great in the morning, so I tend to be a little light on the AM conversation, but a quick chat with a Talking Coffee Maker might be worth it. |

Grow Your Own PumpkinOctober 6, 2009Posted by: Laura S.
Each kit comes with a pot, seeds and care instructions. It starts growing in 5 to 14 days and once it gets to be nice and plump you can transfer it to a bigger pot for a full size pumpkin. This makes a great gift for kids or even adults like me that lack a backyard to grow their own little garden. Check out the rest of our Halloween picks for all ages. |

Labor-ing Over the GrillSeptember 4, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
So let’s not think of the Labor Day weekend as a time where grills get their last workout before a six month vacation. Instead, go get the propane tank refilled, load up on meats and veggies and vow to grill throughout the Fall and Winter. And also, don’t be shy about thinking about a grilling-related gift for those who take this stuff very seriously. My grilling gift pick of the day is this basting sauce pot and brush. Both stylish and practical, this set would be a welcomed addition to any grill-master’s arsenal. Williams Sonoma Basting Sauce Pot & Brush starting at $29.95. |
