Some of my all-time favorite gifts for teens and college-age kids would have to be surprise concert tickets for a band they love, a family vacation, or an activity they would love (like zip-lining or snow skiing or hiking, etc). You could even wrap up the trail map or brochure for the activity. ‘Experience gifts’ can be the best to give and the most fun to participate in . . . and they’re perfect for the teen who has everything. For kids away at school, it’s always fun to purchase branded items from the bookstore and/or a gift cards for local restaurants and coffee places.
See below for gift ideas from current teen/college-aged kids. Continue reading “Gifts for Teens & College-Age Kids”
Here are a few beautiful, functional glass vessels from Menu that are perfect if you know anyone passionate about wine or water. . .

Gifts for those who care about the finer things in life and will appreciate the quality and craftsmanship put into these designs.

The Jewelry Snug is the ideal product to help keep jewelry organized, neat and keep items from tangling. This set comes with earring/ring compartments that screw together. They are clear so you can see what is inside them (they come with foam to keep items secure and from clanking around inside). My favorite part of this set are the clear sleeves. The way these work is they open up, you lay your necklace or bracelet inside, push the sleeves together and then you can roll the sleeve up or roll it around the earring/ring compartment. Perfect for traveling or also for keeping things neat at home. I bought extra sleeves for my jewelry drawer at home. Easy to find what I’m looking for and no more tangling! Simple and oh-so useful.

The holidays are almost here and that means a lot of parties and gatherings. Most people bring a bottle of wine, but I always try to bring something extra special for the host/hostess. Knowing how much work it takes to put on a dinner party or social gathering, I try to surprise and delight with an appropriate gift.
Heading into the holidays, I like to stock up my Secret Gift Closet with some of my favorites so I’m never caught off guard. And when your closet is stocked, it’s like a stress free store right in your home! Here are my recent favorites and go-to hostess gifts.

This is a hot holiday gift specifically for teenage and college aged kids who love football.
You don’t have to be from New England to love the fun-loving, happy Rob Gronkowski (who just happens to be an excellent football player for the Patriots). Where Gronk goes, fun and adventure follow. This is the guy who wore a Minions hat, chugging beers on a Duck Boat in the Super Bowl parade! Gronk appeared on Family Feud, was a pace car driver at NASCAR and was even in a music video with David Ortiz for Dunkin’ Donuts!! Come on, this guy has personality — who doesn’t smile and laugh at what Gronk is doing next when he isn’t on the football field? Continue reading “Gronkball – Football and Bluetooth Speaker”
