2008 Holiday Gift Guide - More ideas for Mom

If Mom spends a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, then this next gift would be perfect for her. Get her a GelPro mat to combat the strain of standing on a hard floor several hours at a time. It's patented anti-fatigue gel comfort technology reduces pain and increases blood flow, creating a more relaxing and enjoyable experience for those that spend a lot of time standing in the kitchen. The people at GelPro were generous enough to spend me a mat to try out. Since it arrived right before Thanksgiving and my mom was doing all the cooking, I let her try it out. She LOVED it!! She said it made standing in the kitchen so much more comfortable. This would be a great gift for the cook in your life!


Many moms love to scrapbook. The latest craze is digital scrapbooking. Check out How Fast They Grow. Award winning and patent-pending, Digi-scrapbook® allows you pick from 486 page designs, then edit & share your 12x12 creations. Their printing process (Kodak Nexpress) provides excellent print quality. Gift cards are available, so get one for Mom today!!


Another great gift idea is the Aerogarden. You can grow flowers, herbs and vegetables right on your kitchen counter all year-round. It's "smart garden" technology tells you when it needs more water and food. There are some small gardens that will fit on your desk at work or larger ones that grow full-sized tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and more. Great idea for someone like me who would like to grow herbs or other things but doesn't necessarily have a very "green" thumb.




Everyone is trying to eat better these days. Why shouldn't your chocolate be healthier for you too? Check out IgnaFire chocolates for Mom this year. All IgnaFire chocolates are pure, unadulterated chocolate morsels made from stone-ground cacao beans. These morsels have not been chemically altered in any way. Instead, they preserve all the natural magic of the cacao tree and maintain the complex range of flavors from the special fruit.

The low level of sugar in all IgnaFire chocolates qualify them as dark chocolate; aficionados of dark chocolate will be particularly interested in these new flavors. No dairy products or emulsifiers are added to any of these chocolates, making them vegan-friendly. A perfect gift for the health conscious person in your life that still likes to indulge!!!

More and more people are taking bags to the grocery store that they can re-use each time. Why not get the eco-friendly mom in your life a set of bags from Olive Smart. You can get six bags in one small sack for easy transport. The bags have a 20lb capacity and come in two different color sets.



Remember the wonderfully romantic book of love letters that Carrie reads aloud to Big in the recent blockbuster film,Sex and the City?

Love Letters of Great Men follows hot on the heels of the film and collects together some of history's most romantic letters from the private papers of Beethoven, Mark Twain, Mozart, and Lord Byron. Get this for the romantic in your life!!
