What I'm Givin' This Year...

Trying to orchestrate a move during the Christmas Holiday has lead me to the conclusion that people own to much stuff. This has made it very hard for me to buy more stuff for people. This year, I have decided that it's time to change the "gift" giving holiday. This year I am going to give yummy gifts that you enjoy, and are gone. No stuff to lug around forever, just some yummies. Here is what I've come up with so far...
1) Tea
2) Wine
3) Imported Beer
4) Pecan Pie
5) Chocolates
6) Gourmet Coffee
7) Chili Fixings
8) Steaks
9) Gourmet Hot Chocolate
10) Cheese
11) Cookies
12) Pasta Assortment
13) Cup Cakes

    One quick trip to Williams Sonoma would take care of most of that. Great idea. I'd like my steak medium rare, kay?

    I would be excited for any of those gifts, especially numbers 2, 3 and 5.

    For Mothers Day I asked my husband for a bottle of vodka. He thought I was kidding.

    That is a great list. It is hard to go wrong with caffeine or alcohol.

    Oh, yum! Can I be on your gift list?! We've started giving food gifts to my husband's parents--they have a small apartment and no room for more stuff, and special foods are really appreciated.

    You could kill 2 birds with one stone with me... I'll take a Godiva martini, please. :)

    Since having Sofie (and all of her stuff), I've increasingly noticed the claustrophobic, unnecessary stuff I have around.

    On a similar note, I've long enjoyed giving "experiences" as gifts... concert or theater tickets (or Ticketmaster giftcards), restaurant certificates, etc. LOVE your post!

    Those are awesome!
    I have a friend who makes the most amazing sweet jalapeno peppers. She jars them and her jalapeno jelly and sells them. They make GREAT gifts and you can't find them anywhere but here in Texas.
    We're giving some of those and some of her dips this year.
    Can I just say how hungry and thirsty your list made me! LOL!

    I'll take anything chocolate. And, thanks! Seriously, that's why I send my Dad nuts and stuff like that. He has so much other stuff that it's not worth it.

    Great TT!

    I've given cookbooks and a collection of spices from my local spice place as gifts; people really dig it.

    Your list rocks.

    That's a great idea. People really DO have too much stuff. Your list is great. I just thought of Salsa too, either gourmet or homemade.

    I was thinking about doing this, too. I love making cookies for the holidays...makes it feel like the holidays!

    One year, I made truffles. Um...I don't think I'll be doing that this year.
