Gift Idea: Salt Pig

Love these salt pigs from Nigella Lawson. I'm surprised that so many celebrity chefs have such cool looking products for sale.

Gift idea: Adopt an olive Tree

A couple of years ago I somehow stumbled onto the website for Nudo and immediately thought that would make a great gift. Specifically, I thought it would make a great gift for friends of ours who were getting married in Italy, and love to cook.

The idea is that you can adopt an olive tree from the grove for a year, and then in the fall and spring, they'll send you the produce from your tree (plus some from the neighboring trees).

We've gotten to try the olive oil and were talking about adopting a tree of our own. Our friends stepped in and adopted one for us for Christmas, so now we are waiting for our own olive oil supply to come in.

Also - the packaging is super cute. You can also just go online and buy tins of the oil (as well as other food stuffs).

Jamie Oliver Christmas Crackers

I'm so bummed I didn't see this before Christmas. These crackers are great, so much better than the little paper hats that don't fit on my head! They are on sale now, maybe I should stock up for next year...

How cute is that mini grater and spoon?
