One of my new favorite websites for recipes is recipegirl.com.

Check out her top 25 Favorite Christmas Recipes here. There is not one of these I wouldn’t eat right now if you put it in front of me.

Recipegirl.com has a great index for any recipe you may be looking for. The site also has the ability to save the recipe you may want to try later. There is large selection of recipes and all look delish! I’m off to test one or two of these yummy recipes now!

A great gift idea to give to a parent or grandparent is a digital photo keychain. You can find these at Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Brookstone, or online at Amazon for around $10. Load them up with pictures of the kids, pets, or yourself, and you have a great gift that will be well received by anyone.

The Brookstone version is $15 and holds 100 photos.

It’s like the “brag book” that my mom used to carry around with photos of her favorite grandchild, except this version is much more compact, and holds a lot more photos.

Let me know if you have ever given a digital photo keychain to someone in the comments section.

I’ve written about etsy before, but with all the vendors who sell their wares on this site, I will never be able to cover all of them.  Here are some of my new favorite vendors:

Vintage bookplates from Kids at Heart Designs. You can get 12 personalized or blank for $7.50.

Custom Baby Subway Art for $65 from Chickadee Vinyl.

Or name only for $30

Or something to brighten up your laundry room for $16.

Laonato has some wonderful jewelry. Most under $20

I also love the pieces by June Designs.

Finally, check out Oh Sister Sister for some cute gowns and clothing.  I actually had the pleasure of meeting these lovely sisters at First Monday in Canton in November.  They are so adorable! And so are their clothes.

The Breffo Spiderpodium Stand can stand on its own or attach to anything. You can attach to a car vent, treadmill, bicycle, stroller, or hang from your monitor.

It comes in black or white and is under $13 at Amazon. The Spiderpodium works on any Smartphone. Most ten year olds have a smartphone these days so this would be a great gift for anyone. Think of the motor skills you are working! They also make one for the any tablet for less than $30 at Amazon.

With the flexible legs you can shape to work for you! So much easier on my treadmill than having my phone fall off when I take off and really go! I’m going to post about my treadmill in a few weeks. Just in time for those New Year resolutions. . . but for now, enjoy this stand!
