about a month ago i got a very unexpected phone call from television host deborah duncan of khou out of houston, texas asking me to appear on her morning show to talk about the importance of buying american-made toys and about my toy store. To say that i have a fear of public speaking is an understatement so the preparations for appearing on the show took a lot longer than it would for the average person. thanks to the help and advice of many people i got on the plane to texas (heading towards a hurricane no less) and successfully filmed the segment. i plan on posting a video here soon, and will be back with lots of great new gift ideas!
wow. these recycled cotton wastebaskets are such a great find. normally i wouldn't advocate giving a trash can as a gift, but these special bins are handcrafted in india from recycled cotton rags leftover from the apparel industry, so i think you should get a pass on these ;) very cool gift!
this beautiful tray from jayson home & garden makes for a stunning gift, don't you think? i really can't think of a room in the house that it wouldn't work in, or a person on my list who wouldn't love to own it. it has a great price tag too!
i love love love this print from artist and etsy seller elise towle snow. this cheeky print will make for a really fun and silly gift for the wii-obsessed guy in your life.
los angeles locals in-the-know have been flocking to yummy cupcakes for years now. they have the most amazing daily specials--think a "hot chocolate" or "frozen banana" cupcake, but my favorite is their classic vanilla/vanilla combo. i was so excited to hear about yummy's newest, shipping-friendly cupcake. it is called a cupcake-in-a-jar and it is...well..it is exactly what it sounds like: your favorite cupcake flavor layered in a mason jar, ready to eat with a spoon. i sent one to my very good friend in albuquerque for her birthday, and she loved it!
