Josh and I are putting together our Holiday Gift List for family & friends. Its really hard coming up with gift ideas. I like the idea of getting something for someone that they wouldn't get themselves. I love finding places on the internet that have neat/good products that you can't purchase locally. Here are some of the sites I've come across:
Enstroms Toffee is great for anyone who likes toffee. It is literally the best toffee you'll ever eat.
Cheryl & Co Cookes, Desserts & Gifts - found via Angela last year. I haven't tried any of it, but all looks great!
Uncommon Goods has some really neat stuff. Stuff you probably can't find at the local shopping mall.
The Chocolate Garden offers handmade chocolate truffles. And Fairytale Brownies has some great looking brownies to offer. Mmmm...never had either of 'em, but would love to receive them as a gift myself.
The Red Envelope always has something to order for someone. I've ordered from there a couple of times and was satisfied with the product/service. They even have "real time" on-line customer service. Where you're basically "chatting" with the customer service rep. Yes, I've used this function, and found it rather handy. I hate calling on the phone.
If you know anyone who likes pears, Harry & David is the place to go. They're so yummy.
For the Geek in the family, you're bound to find something at Think Geek - but you already know that I'm sure.
If you feel like purchasing someone a Turkey for the holidays, a smoked turkey from Greenberg Smoked Turkey is the way to go! These turkeys are sold in my hometown, and this is what I grew up eating. I don't really care for the traditional baked turkey because of it. We don't even heat it up. Its best served at room temperature in my opinion. They ship all over the U.S. too.
Do you have any favorite shopping/gift websites to share?
