The Gift Exchange

When I was a little girl, my dad pretty much got one of two gifts; either a novelty tie or a bucket of Old Spice. He always made a big show out of loving the light up penguin tie or bottle of cheap aftershave, but let’s be real- he never made any use out of [...]

Me graduating High School was nothing short of a miracle. It took a small army of people (Krystal, Mr. Hollands, my mom bribing me with Senior pictures (my sisters think I’m a tad vain)), and many hours of talking my Spanish teacher into giving me a passing grade. School just wasn’t my thing, but somehow [...]

I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 1980′s. To me, this was the GREATEST time ever. The best movies, the best music, the best fashion… but I digress. I do tend to get stuck in the past. I don’t know if this is because I still can’t get over that Milli Vanilli wasn’t [...]

I attribute a lot of who I am to my mom and her guidance and love. She taught me how to rock a baby to sleep, to properly clean a bathroom (the key is bleach), and to let my hair down and have fun (though I’m still learning this one). She makes a mean chocolate [...]

I hear that this is a momentous occasion, Sweet n’ Salty Snack Tower. Call me Salty. And you’re absolutely right, Ben, I’m the first gift basket ever to be interviewed. I hate to break it to you, but technically I think you’re a snack tower. Tower shmower. Same thing. Well, I think The Grand Gourmet would disagree with you [...]

Coming from strong Irish ancestry, and with a name like McBurney you’ve got to love all things Irish, and I do! That’s why I was so excited to see our new St. Patrick’s Cookie Pail filled with traditional shortbread cookies. ‘Tis a taste of Ireland to be sure. It’s funny how flavors and aromas can [...]

This Royal English Tea Tower has got to be my all-time favorite Wedding or house warming gift! This gift has it all!  And with so many things to keep and reuse, It’s completely perfect! With two beautiful fine porcelain tea mugs, this would be a great gift to send to Grandma, then show up at [...]

I have a sister who loves 3 things: Traveling, chocolates and drinking good coffee! I think that this year for Christmas, I will bring the islands to her by sending her the Hawaiian Kona Coffee & Premium Treats Gift. Not only does it have the most awesome snacks to go with the coffees, but it [...]

I recently spent time in the Middle East with friends who have relocated there. I saw some of the most beautiful sites my eyes have ever seen. Experienced heat comparable to being roasted in an oven, and tasted foods that made my pallet rejoice. Of all the things I took in over my long journey, [...]
