For school/piano teacher gifts, etc I tend to cook, as then I know that my gifts are not going to be a waste of space. For those who don't like sweets, I'll do preserved lemons and attach a little printed booklet of my favourite ways to use them, or pate ...Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-39410083896311878082011-11-29T12:59:48.661-05:002011-11-29T12:59:48.661-05:00kathy peck: You might have to race me!
Susan Tine...kathy peck: You might have to race me!<br /><br />Susan Tiner: Veggies? In what format? I'd enjoy receiving jars of preserved vegetables but am wondering if you have other ideas.<br /><br />laurienn: Some food products are just plain odd but most people like good vinegar and/or olive oil. I stay away for the weird flavours though.<br /><br />Pseu; I've given Diptyque and am presently wearing the fig cologne, Philosykos.<br /><br />materfamilias: Nice soaps are appreciated by almost everyone, and the Porto wrapping is so charming. Other ideas: beeswax candles and lately I'm into lavender sachets (locally made) covered in Provencal cotton print.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-54753630623698195362011-11-29T12:37:46.658-05:002011-11-29T12:37:46.658-05:00All great ideas from the gifting queen, er, duches...All great ideas from the gifting queen, er, duchesse.
