    Hot In The Hive: Thermos-Minis by Crea Crea And Crescioni Vanina!

    You almost wouldn't expect something so whimsically designed and sweetly packaged from the seriously sophisticated and cynically chic French! Just to prove that they are always unpredictable and one-step ahead, French designers Crea Crea and Crescioni Vanina are introducing Thermos-minis! These cute little drink containers are the baby-siblings of the huge, heavy, stainless steel versions that my dad lugs around in order to save money on coffee. They are obviously smaller, but still hold enough that you won't be left wanting more caffeine after drinking the last drops. These Thermos-minis hold about 8 oz of whatever drink you want... hot, cold, or spiked (just kidding). Besides keeping a good temperature on your drinks (because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Thermos), these Thermos-minis also come in an array of fun and colorful designs and patterns. Personalize your morning pick-me-up by choosing anything from Asian-inspired floral patterns to multi-colored dots and shapes! There's even ones that resemble a tiny man or an umbrella toting frog! All the designs are different, but all are whimsical, care-free and full of bright color. Their size allows you to pop them into a purse or tote, or to throw into the backseat of a car. No more cookie-cutter, silver steel thermoses that need their own carrier just to transport them around!


    Price: $38.00
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Plyones - THERMOS-MINI to the Hive.

Well you're in luck: fashion mogul and fragrance maven Donna Karan has teamed up with p.i.n.k. vodka to create a yummy drink in honor of Karan's sexy new scent: DKNY Delicious Night. The Delicious Night Blackberry Martini captures the essence of Donna's perfume perfectly (a blend of frozen Pomelo, crushed ginger, chilled blackberry martini, and touches of purple freesia) and is not only out of this world fantastic, but super easy to make. We've included the recipe below, along with three other divine p.i.n.k vodka infused drinks: mint condition, p.i.n.k. leprechaun, and p.i.n.k. pumpkin pie. Try 'em out at your next soiree (New Years Eve, perhaps?) and tell us what you think! (Just check out the slideshow for the rest of the recipes and pics!)

    -1 oz p.i.n.k. ® vodka
    -1 ½ oz cranberry juice
    -approximately 1 oz blackberry brandy
    -½ oz Cointreau ®
    -Splash of sour mix
    -Fresh blackberries

    Directions:
    Combine ingredients over ice and shake well.
    Strain into a well-chilled martini glass.
    Pour 1 ½ scoops of mulled blackberries through the center.
