Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

image
What is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I'm instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what's even better -- now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy's Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it's not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I'm pretty sure downing this won't taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!


Price: $25

Hot In The Hive: Vazu Foldable Vases

image
The forever-old custom of giving flowers as gifts would be a whole lot easier if you didn't have to worry about the glass vase not surviving the car ride over to the housewarming party you're attending. Vases usually aren't cheap, they break too easily, and they take up lots of precious storage room when you're too busy to keep them full of fresh-picked flowers. Apparently the masterminds behind the Vazu Foldable Vase had the same frustrations regarding flower-giving. The Vazu vase comes flat in its package and expands to form a sturdy, free-standing vase that you can fill with water and put on display with your flower arrangement. When you're finished, it re-folds easily back into its package for simple storage, and at only $4.99, you can afford to give it as part of a gift -- no broken glass and no lending out your grandma's old vase with the chance you'll never get it back! It even comes in a ton of colorful patterns that can coordinate with any bouquet arrangement. Check out the selection at the Vazu site!


Price: $4.99 each

Gifts for Grads: Frame the Memories!

image
Looking for a perfect gift for the graduate in your life? Nothing could be more personal than framing a favorite photo as a gift, especially for high school grads headed off to college. I'm sure you agree - taking the time to print and frame a digital picture can take some serious effort, and is something that often is put at the bottom of the to-do list. That's why I love this photo collage frame from personalizationmall.com: you can pick any one-line message and it is lasered into a matboard. Just print a few photos for the back! Tip: it looks even cuter when you let one photo cut across two letters. For something a little simpler for the green-loving grad, what about the Mariposa recycled aluminum frame? It's glamorous and eco-friendly! Check out my slide show for other great photo frame gifts for grads!

Father's Day Gifts For New And Expectant Dads

image
In this past year or so, I've received more and more engagement and wedding announcements, which lead to birth announcements. Seeing my friends becoming expectant or first-time parents is nothing short of amazing. From choosing names to remodeling a room to become a nursery, I know they're all going to be great parents. With many of my guy friends becoming new dads or dads-to-be, I've been looking for great gifts for Father's Day. A good place to start is to with the basics. I found a strap on baby carrier that can work for dads and moms. Moms can keep their girly diaper bags, so I suggest giving a durable and roomy messenger bag that no one will suspect is carrying diapers and formula. For the television junkie, make sure he doesn't miss a single episode of his favorite shows with a Tivo digital video recorder. For more Father's Day gifts for new dads and dads-to-be, check out my slideshow!

Father's Day Gifts Under $50

image
So you're getting ready to plunk down that credit card for an extravagant present for your very deserving father, but then you realize you still have bills to pay and groceries to buy. So what are you supposed to do? You can let those bills pile up, but that's never good to pay important bills so late. The best bet is to buy something he'll love and you can afford! Afterall, he is your dad and was appreciative of the "artwork" you made when you were young, right? For the handy dad who always comes to anyone's rescue, take a look at the Classic SD Swiss Army Knife. If your dad is an avid golfer but has a messy golf bag, give him a Golf Gear Case that has a space for all his tees, shoes, and even sunblock. Take a look at my slideshow for some Father's Day gifts you won't need to starve yourself in order to afford!

Useful Wedding Presents That Won't Get Returned The Next Day

image
This week, we've found 10 wedding gifts the happy couple will actually use because c'mon, how many towels or toasters do they really need? Okay, so you're at a wedding, staring at the gift table and playing that fun game where you try to guess what's in each dramatically-wrapped box. But as you're getting into the swing of things, impressing inexplicably single groomsmen with your skills and wit, you begin to notice a pattern: half of the boxes are the exact same size. Know why? They're all full of tumblers. Six to eight tumblers are great. 95? Not so much. Avoid being a giver of boring, repetitive gifts and give the newlyweds something they'll actually use. NOTE: If you're not close with the couple or aren't sure about what they already own, stick to the registry. There's a reason they asked for that meat tenderizer. Click over to The Frisky for more on relationships, celebs, and of course, style.

Father's Day Gifts For The Jet Set Traveler

image
Would you define your dad as a jet set traveler? Does he often fly cross country for business meetings or go off to exotic countries for research opportunities? Whatever the reason, you've probably seen the pages of stamps on his passport or well worn luggage in his closet. So why not give him something this Father's Day that makes his travels easier? You can't guarantee that his luggage won't be lost or that babies will stay quiet on his flights. But for some peace and quiet on his airplane rides, check out the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling headphones. They're super lightweight and neutralizes outside noise for the best listening experience. For the dad who's always in a suit and tie, give him a pair of cedar shoe trees to keep his fancy shoes from getting crushed in his luggage and to keep bugs and mildew away. For more Father's Day gifts fit for the world wandering dad, check out my slideshow!
