The Gift of Cookies on Demand

Posted in Bakeries, Cake and Cookies, Coupon Codes, Edible Gifts, Fun Ideas, Gift Baskets, Gifts for Kids, Gifts under $50, Kosher, Toys at 2:31 am by Deb Savvy

The problem with sending someone cookies as a holiday gift is that they most likely already have some cookies. And some cake. And loads of other holiday treats. Consider the gift of cookies that will give back later. Frozen Dough – or what I like to think of as cookies on demand!

Each three pound tub makes approximately 4 dozen cookies. You can send a gift package of two tubs of dough and a scoop for $42.95. Choose from any of their seven delicious flavors. Chocolate chunk. White chocolate chunk. White chocolate macadamia nut. Oatmeal raisin. Peanut butter. Sugar. M&M. Yum!

And for extra family fun, consider the Cookie Play Dough.

Just as much fun and when you’re done playing – the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful. A set of two (6 pounds of dough) sells for $44.95.

See all these tasty gift ideas and more at David’s Cookies. All their products are certified Kosher OU.

And, as usual, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to get the best possible deal.

Remember when you were a little kid and how exciting exciting it was to have all those new school supplies. Especially that brand new box of crayons. If you were really lucky, you might have had that fabulous box of 64 colors with the built in sharpener.

Things haven’t changed all that much over the years. Those new crayons are one of the best things about the first days of kindergarten and first grade. And that classic box of 64 colors has gotten even better!

The Return of the Chile Party!

Posted in Fun Ideas, Gifts under $20, Hostess Gifts, Party Decorations, Unusual Gifts at 3:28 am by Deb Savvy

After a hiatus of what I think is more than 10 years, Sara is FINALLY bringing back her chili party.   Woo Hoo!   The infamous annual fete is a combination of a gourmet chili feast (as Sara is, among other things, a top notch chef) and a chile pepper themed drunken melee, with crazy themed decor, prize raffles and more.   I had heard rumblings that she was resurrecting the tradition.  The minute the invitation arrived I had a brainstorm.  I’m going to send her a chile pepper pinata for the party.   How perfect is that!  My next thought was ‘where in the world will I find a chile pepper pinata?’. 

Red Chile Pinata Red Chile Pinata  

Well I found one.  At Pinatas.com – and best of all it was only $12.99!  How often do you get to surprise someone with such a perfect little something for a party and get such a bargain at the same time?  You might think it’s strange that I’m bragging about how I sent my friend such an inexpensive gift.  It’s not strange at all.  No one loves a bargain more than Sara.  And she likes to know.  Sara has been known to leave the price tag on a gift on purpose.  Not because she wants you to now how much she spent – but because she wants you to KNOW how great a bargain she found.  She’s a savvy shopper, what can I say.

Fun pinatas and kids party supplies!

Mongolian Shoe Barbecue

Posted in Athletic Shoes, Fun Ideas, Original Designs, Shoes, Sneakers, Unique Items at 4:53 am by Deb Savvy

Oh my god – this is so fun and so cool I can’t even believe it.  Puma is now offering completely customizable sneakers ($130).  The shoes are fab, of course, but that’s not the biggest news.  The biggest news is the oh so fun interactive “Puma Mongolian Shoe Barbecue” where you create your own shoes – just like the perfect meal.  First you choose your gender and size.  Then you move on to the buffet and choose your materials for 20 different components.  You just reach into the buffet with your chopsticks (I am NOT making this up) and select the materials you want and place them on your tray shoe components.  And you can change them over and over and over again.   Once you’ve made your selections you proceed to the chef and preview your shoe from every possible angle.  And then you can head back to the buffet to refine your choices.  I’ve already created 6 shoes and can’t decide which one I want. 

 

Even if you don’t need sneakers today, it’s worth checking out the site.  It’s more fun than a video game.  Although it did make me just a little bit hungry for some Mongolian Beef!

Not Just for Cinqo de Mayo

Posted in Entertaining, Fun Ideas, Party Decorations, Party Planning at 7:43 pm by Deb Savvy

A pinata can add a festive touch to almost any kind of party.  Kids love the traditional ’smash and grab’ candy feeding frenzy, but there are many other ways to enjoy a pinata.  I was at a first birthday party a couple of weeks ago (the cupcakes were AWESOME, by the way) and the decorations consisted mostly of bunches of happy face balloons anchored by colorful pinatas – so cute!  And we’ll even be able to use the pinatas again!  You can even hang a pinata for a fun splash of color when you’re not having a party.

What a fun idea!  Guss’ Pickles are well known to New Yorkers and deli lovers worldwide as the ultimate pickle experience.  Guss and his progeny have been selling pickles in New York City for nearly a century.  Customers come from near and far to buy sour pickles, half sour pickles, and green tomatoes from barrels on the sidewalk, still made according to Izzy Guss’s original recipes.  You can send a gallon of Guss’s fabulous pickles to anyone you choose (or yourself, of course).

Say It With Bubbles

Posted in Business Gifts, Corporate Gifts, Elegant Gifts, Fun Ideas, Wedding Gifts, Wine at 1:52 am by Deb Savvy

Champagne is the perfect symbol of celebration and makes a terrific gift for many occasions.  It’s more festive than a bottle of wine or gift basket.  A great bottle of champagne urges the recipient to do one of two things – either pop the cork immediately and celebrate or plan a special celebratory evening around the champagne.  Either way, you’ve provided the backbone for a lovely little party.  For a great selection of champagne gifts or to send a bottle of champagne, check out this specialist in bubbly.  Cheers!


Champagne can be a great gift choice for clients and colleages.  Also a wonderful wedding or engagement gift.
