my giant list of good gifts

ok… i realize this could be too late to post this but i can’t stop writing this list so i figure if i just get it out of my head i can move on.
this is my huge list of things that i think would make great gifts at anytime… not just christmas.
there are all kinds of price ranges…. and every category.
these are things i use nearly everyday and things i love.
maybe it will help you get those last few gifts you need to finish up your christmas shopping?
i made it crazy easy with links to everything because i like you.
and to make it extra fun… no companies know i wrote this… it’s all purely what i like because i like it… no advertising!
high five!

Keurig Brewing System

i am the only one in my house that drinks coffee.
With the Keurig i don’t waste coffee anymore.
i used to make half a pot or even a full sometimes and end up pouring out so much everyday.
the Keurig makes a perfect cup every time!
and it is great for multiple coffee drinkers who like different strengths of coffee… no one has to settle.
🙂
.

and if you didn’t want the big investment of the Keurig… i saw this
Single Brew Coffee Maker in a super cute color at Urban Outfitters.

Eureka Cordless Vacuum
no one probably thinks they want this as a gift until you never have to sweep with a broom again!
and then they will be so grateful for this awesome gift!
we have all wood floors and this is MY FAVORITE!
.

i like the tea tree for all winter because it smells like mint.
and i love the coconut milk all summer because it smells like i live in the tropics.
and they carry a ton of other scents but these are MY favorites.

The Message
this is my favorite translation to read in the bible.
the description reads: “Written in everyday English – how people speak in their homes and in the workplace –
The Message will bring more understanding and meaning to the Scriptures.
Passages that seem familiar will come alive. 
The Message can help readers “Read. Think. Pray. Live.”
it’s still the bible but without all the thys and thous and begats.
