I need gift ideas for me. Cannot be more than $50 and no gift cards, certificates. I'm seven weeks PP so clothes are out, I don't have a lot of time to read, etc. My main hobbies are exercising and baking and going to the spa. My BIL drew me in the secret Santa exchange and asked DH for help and a list.
I'm thinking maybe earrings or a cuff. I prefer silver.
What would you like for $50? Links would be great!
My Christmas list includes these kitchen-related items: -A basic mandoline without any crazy safety features. (Oxo has one called simple mandoline) -Angel food cake pan - shiny aluminum -Make it Ahead cookbook by barefoot contessa/Ina garten -Meyer lemon olive oil -French press
As far as jewelry goes, I don't know your style, but I love everything Stella & Dot. They have several earrings and bracelets for <$50.
I have stud earrings on my list this year. (Grabby hands mean I don't like wearing big earrings for now.)
A nice, oversized wall calendar - I ordered one from Paper Source, I've done Snow & Graham in the past too. They're ~$30.
I have a Willow Tree nativity set - sometimes I'll ask for a piece to fill that out.
new slippers
stemless wine glasses
I also like to cook/entertain, so in the past I've asked for cooking-related stuff, cookbooks (America's Test Kitchen has some of my favorites), fun serving platters, etc. I got a great, oversized platter/dip bowl set from C&B from MIL one year and I use it all the time when we have people over for everything from baked brie to pizza to veggie tray to bread and dips.
On my list (and 99% of which I already bought.ha).
*new lounge clothes to wear at home that are acceptable for out. *makeup *new laundry baskets that aren't plastic *boot socks *coffee grinder *We got a nice cheese cutter as a gift from our creamery this year. If you don't have one I strongly suggest *I always like booze.
I like to get consumables. For example, Clinique or LancĂ´me lip gloss. I can always use new workout gear too. Pick a store and provide sizes and links?
If you don't mind getting kitchen-related gifts then I love Williams-Sonoma's Goldtouch bakeware line.
New headphones for working out?
Love these earing! Both sets!
Just thought I'd chime in and say I had both of these and the back fell off of one the first time I wore them (both sets). So I lost one of each and didn't know it until I got home.

Ha, no thanks for letting me know, though. I've never ordered from BN, did you contact their customer service or anything?
I didn't. I got them both on sale and I just felt like it wasn't worth the hassle.
