    Thanksgiving is all about family and friends and sharing good times and food. What better way to do it than with whimsical and modern tableware from your favorite independent artists? We've collected a few of our favorites that are sure to be great conversation starters and they will bring fun memories for many years to come. You will love Selda's series of children's plates, including the adorable Minna. And Soule's "Red Trees" are simply beautiful. Bailey Doesn't Bark's Ants On My Cup and Saucer will bring a laugh to even the grouchiest of relatives. And if you want your table to be eco-friendly, try glasses by Bottle Bottoms or serving dishes made from recycled bottles by Etsy seller Bottle. But the ones that are sure to cause the most uproar are Joana Meroz's Bra Cups. While this is not your ordinary holiday tableware, we are sure you will enjoy the slideshow!

    Ever wish you could go online on those long holiday cross-county flights? Wish no more because it has come true! Earlier this week, Virgin America launched its first Wi-Fi enabled plane with Gogo Inflight Internet and the first ever "air-to-ground" video stream to YouTube Live €“ YouTube's first official real-world user event. Virgin America's Wi-Fi enabled plane circled the skies 35,000 feet above San Francisco with special guests, media, and all-star bloggers testing out Gogo on laptops, smartphones and PDAs. Also onboard, Los Angeles DJ Jesse 'BoyToy' Lozano did a live broadcast while NBC 30 Rock stars Katrina Bowden and Keith Powell performed a live "YouTube Air" skit streamed to the YouTube Live audience on the ground and on-line. The Wi-Fi enabled aircraft will be flying all over the U.S. as a Thanksgiving surprise to guests, and by 2009, Virgin America will be the first U.S. carrier to offer fleet-wide inflight internet!

    Travel Worry-Free This Holiday Season With These Travel-Sized ...

    The impending holiday season brings about cheerful emotions, but also a lot of stress from planning your Thanksgiving feast to what to buy for the in-laws. Add traveling to the mix and things could get even more stressful! With the strict TSA rules for carry-on liquids, you may think you'll have to go without your favorite toiletries. Not to worry! Many companies make travel sized versions of their products so you can travel happy. Buying travel sized items is also a great way to try new products without the long term commitment or full sized prices! Take your favorite scent with you without spilling all over your clothes with this Marc Jacobs Daisy solid perfume, or save much needed space with this travel shower kit from Burt's Bees. When traveling by plane, just remember 3-1-1-- that means 3 ounce bottles or less in 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic zip-top bag, and 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin! Take a look at my SLIDESHOW for more TSA-compliant items that will have you breezing through the security check points!
