I'll send periodic gift ideas here, many of which are high quality (sometimes expensive) items that are useful and helpful. But I don't want to be like the man in the funny JC Penny commercial "Dual Bag" who was sent to the dog house for buying his wife a nice dual bag vacuum cleaner for Christmas.
A pair of nice Cutco kitchen sheers is American made, high quality and very useful, but not particularly romantic. If you NEED them, they're great. If it's just another thing to have in your kitchen, you may want to reconsider.
In the interest of simplifying, and reducing "stuff," one of my recent favorite gifts is a gift to Heifer International (wwww.heifer.org). This from their web site:
"This holiday season, struggling families in the U.S. and around the world are counting on gifts of hope from generous people like you. Imagine no lines, no parking hassles and no meaningless gifts. Better yet, imagine giving those in need an opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty with a gift that also honors your friends and family."
Aren't familiar with Heifer? Your gift of a goat, a chicken, a cow, or a hive of bees will provide food and education for folks who desperately need nutrition. Nothing to clutter up your mud room or closets. Check 'em out.
