Baby Baths Make A Great Baby Shower Gift

A friend of mine invited me to her baby shower last weekend. It was great to see her and everyone had a nice time at the shower. I was looking around for a nice gift for her baby a week before the shower and decided to get the Flexi-bath. It is a hard plastic children’s bathtub made from polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomeric. What is so special about this bath is that the corners and non-slip bottom of the bath have TPE lines which enables the bathtub to be folded flat easily with a touch of the hand. Designed by Danish Company, A Real Cool World, the bath can be stored anywhere in the house. How space-saving eh? I bought the green bathtub for my friend’s baby. Also available are pink/red/blue/transparent and turquoise. Check out Gizmag.com.

Gingerbread House Cookies

barbara Leave a comment

I am so delighted to see this fantastic idea from Not Martha – Tiny Gingerbread housed perched on the edge of your mug. I love sipping some hot chocolate or coffee. Having a cute gingerbread house perched on my mug is just fabulous. Ain’t she creative? I wonder if she sells these Gingerbread Houses. If she does, I know I will be ordering many of them…perhaps one for each day. Yes, of course I would need some dieting pills later on but that’s alright. They are just too cute and yummy to ignore.

Shopping For Housewarming Gift

barbara

A good friend of mine has just moved into her new home recently. She’ll be having a housewarming/Christmas party in 2 weeks’ time. I have been shopping around for a nice housewarming gift for her. I was looking at some water filters, throws, pots, rugs and many others but I still cannot decide what to get her. I also came across a lovely candle holder from 2Modern.com.

Since my friend loves having candles around her home, I think this candle holder would make an ideal housewarming gift.

Finger Tongs To Protect Your Fingers When Cooking

Sometimes when I cook, I would use my fingers to flip the food. Eventhough I have the spatula with me, it’s still not enough to help me turn some food over. I’m too lazy to walk over to the other side of my kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks or a fork to help me. Hence, I get my fingers burned sometimes. Well, I really do need these finger tongs from fusionbrands.com. This heat-resistant silicone fingertongs allows me to cook safely with my hands. It is safe to use on coated pans, FDA food-safe silicone, non-stick and flexible. Hmmm…Christmas is just around the corner. I wonder if Santa is going to get me one 😉
