You know this person, we all do. The person who seems to have everything that you could possible think of. The person that always leaves you scratching your head when you try to buy them a gift. I have a few of those on my list. So here are some suggestions that will surely trump any default … [Read more...]
Starbucks and Oprah…Together at Last!
I love Starbucks, I love tea, and I love Oprah Winfrey.

Gifts for Teacher
If, like me, you're spending a lot of time making your list and checking it twice, please don't forget the teachers.

Isn't that worth more than the … [Read more...]
Breakfast On-the-Go
