Need to send a gift but tired of the typical (and expensive!) flower bouquets and fancy gourmet gift baskets? Well, how do Fudge Nut Brownie, All-Butter Almond, and Chunky Chocolate Cookies sound for starters? Hungry, yet?! Then check out this next pic and keep reading…
I’m excited to introduce you to Michael’s Cookies – a San Diego-based company that delivers freshly-baked gourmet cookies by the bakers dozen in amazing flavors that taste just as good as they sound (let the rate at which they disappeared in my house be a testament to that!) Even better, the cookies arrive in equally yummy, modern gift packaging – vertical “towers” enveloped in hip stripes and metallic silver – the graphic designer in me was seriously impressed! Click here to learn more and check out all of the flavors Michael’s has to offer. Sometimes you just GOTTA indulge, right?

If you’re a fan of mid-century modern design, then you might just fall in love with the American Bungalow collection from Rosanna, Inc! I’m definitely in love with the prices too…only $40 for sets of 5 color or white mini-vases! Vases range from 4.5″ – 7″ and come packaged in beautiful round gift boxes – just like the gorgeous pitchers and nesting bowls!

I saw this coundown champagne flutes idea on marthastewart.com yesterday and just thought it was the cutest idea for New Years! Just attach self-stick numbers (available and craft and office supply stores) to the flutes and you’re all set! (another cute idea would be to arrange champagne flutes in groups of 4 displaying “2007″ with each grouping). And for a super easy decorating idea, check out this cool noisemaker centerpiece.
