Nonnie Waller's Traditional Southern Pound Cakes are legendary. While pound cakes originally included 1 pound each of butter, sugar, eggs & flour (hence the name), this one is equally impressive, but not quite as fattening. This is a perfect gift for Mother's Day, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, oh heck, anytime you want to give a delicious treat. What better way to say I care than with food. (And yes, those are fresh flowers!)  Price: $149 and up

"The RL Gang" Children's Book

10/11/2010

0 Comments

 
I saw this video on the Polo website and it just reminded me how, once upon a time, children dressed like children and not like little adults. The children shown here, while dressed age appropriately, are still able to show their individuality/personality.
There's also a book, fashioned after the video, that would be a great gift for any child. An added bonus is that it can be ordered ($18.95 plus shipping) in several different languages: English, International English, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian and Swedish.
