After a recent visit to Broadway and after stumbling upon a stack of playbills I was wondering if there was a way to preserve and organize them - and there is!

The playbill store actually has a few binder options on it’s website - the one pictured above is the most basic and retails for $13.95.

If you have a Broadway lover in your life, then they probably have a stack of playbills laying around -give them the gift of organization - I’m sure they’ll appreciate it! :)

If your Valentine isn’t a cupcake fan, then I suggest Mrs. Prindable’s Apples.

Mrs. P’s has been around for 25 years - you haven’t HAD a carmel apple, until you’ve tried one of these!

Now, this is NOT the perfect gift for everyone, but if you have a “fish-friendly” friend, then this will definitely put a smile on their face!

The Fish Hotel (yes, I said hotel) by Crate and Barrel is a sleek and modern version of the fish bowl.  

They call it a hotel because you can stack them:

They retail for $34.95 (each):

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of fun and thoughtful ways to pamper your loved one.

“Ding Dong!” It’s that time of year again -Girl Scout Cookie time!  

I am personally a Thin Mint and Samoa lover, but they are all yummy and can make a great gift! This is not your “typical” gift, and since you cannot buy the tasty treats online, you might want to stock up when your little saleswoman arrives.

Girl Scout cookies are perfect to stash away and bring as a fun hostess gift!  Trust me - your host / hostess will DEFINITELY have a smile on their face when you show up with a box of hard-to-get goodies :) 

GS Cookies are $4 a box and proceeds benefit your local GS troop.  To find cookies near you, go to:

I LOVE giving / receiving the gift of stationary, and one of my favorite places (esp for kids), is Tiny Prints.

Thank You cards make a great gift for everyone, because they are thoughtful (can be personalized) and useful - which in my mind, is the perfect combo!  Pictured above is an example of a baby girl thank you card.  20 cards are around $30.  

Here is an example of a baby boy/neutral thank you card:
