Gift Idea for the Techie Chef: Pandigital 15" Kitchen Technology Center
Whether viewing a digital cookbook, using it as a
digital photo frame, listening to music, or viewing high definition TV, you'll
get a crystal clear image from this technology center. A touch screen allows you
to flip pages of your loaded files with just a finger. The 1 GB of internal
memory holds up to 3000 digital images, and lets you transfer, store and
playback photos, video and music. The built-in 5-in-1 card reader is compatible
with most digital memory cards. Mini USB and standard USB 2.0 high speed ports
allow you to connect and transfer files directly from a digital camera or PC.
Supports JPEG images, digital video and MP3 music files and features thumbnail
picture view, zoom, rotation and slide show with transitional effects. Includes
interchangeable face plates to adapt to your decor, a mounting kit, wireless
adapter, a remote, AC adapter and USB cable.
Granted it's a little rich for my blood at $399.99 as I'd probably much rather get another Ruffoni copper pot (or two at that price!) and save the counter space. However, if you know someone that really wants to digitize their kitchen, check it out HERE. Labels: Bed Bath and Beyond, Gift Ideas, Holiday, Technology

Gift Alert: Williams Sonoma Kitchen Icon Ornaments..
Last year, I started collecting some "Kitchen 
Ornaments" for my tree - namely the copper ornaments from Williams Sonoma along with some Starbucks ornaments.
I'm planning on putting a LITTLE tree up on my breakfast bar counter in the kitchen. Well, Williams Sonoma added to the mix this year their set of Kitchen Icon Ornaments which replicate some favorite brands i.e. the Le Creuset dutch oven, a Bundt cake mold, a Dualit toaster and a Bialetti Espresso Maker.
And, for the entire set of all 4 ornaments, it's only $19.95. If you have a chef on your gift list (or even for yourself), you might want to add that to your cart.Labels: Deal Alert, Decorating, Gift Ideas, Holiday, Williams-Sonoma

Gift Alert: Holiday Wreath with Copper Molds... and More...
I am a Facebook junkie, I know. That's not up for debate. Anywhoo - last night, Pretty Random Thoughts' Lesli posted something about getting a wreath that really wasn't her favorite. So, when I was perusing around Sur La Table looking for that hostess apron I adore along with a couple other things, I saw that they had some wreaths on sale. My favorite above all is the Holiday Wreath with Copper Molds. It's on sale and is just so festive. I adore all things copper so you combine that with something very "holiday", it's on.
Check out their other wreaths, centerpieces and foliage. Some other faves are:

Gift Alert: Nordstrom's 'Flavors' Cookbook...
Do you have a cookbook aficionado on your gift list and are wary to buy any cookbooks in case they "might have them"? Even better, are they a fashionista and loves all things Nordys?
Well, here is the gift that they wouldn't expect.
Nordstrom has a cookbook called "Flavors" by their executive chef, Michael Northern, and has recipes from their popular cafes. During my Philadelphia trip when Reese, Meowmix and I had lunch in the Nordstrom Cafe, I flipped through the pages and immediately added it to my Santa list. The recipes are top notch, the photography is amazing and it's written for the home cook.
Check it out here and, of course, you can get cash back.Labels: Cash Back, Cookbook, Gift Ideas, Holiday, Nordstrom, Shopping

Gift Idea: NapaStyle's Panini Grill
If you don't have a Panini Grill, seriously - what are you waiting for. You can do soooo much on there besides just the standard panini. Just think George Foreman grill, but better, ya know?
Anywhoo - during the holidays, I'm going to spotlight one great foodie gift per day for that culinary diva (or divo) on your shopping list (or you - you must gift yourself during the holiday season too - it's in the holiday rulebook!)
Spotlight today - Napastyle's Panini Grill. I get the Napastyle catalog and I mull through it page by page, wishing I had endless funds to entertain because, when it comes to class and style, seriously - Michael Chiarello has it. And he's spotlighting a deal of the day starting off today with this Panini Grill. When it comes to NapaStyle, you know it's quality. This guy is no joke and he's not going to be like certain peeps who just slap their name on something to get that endorsement check. He sells it in his stores, uses it in his kitchen and stands behind his products that he sells.
I have a panini grill and, in the interest of full disclosure, I spent a pretty penny on it. However, if I saw this deal and I needed a grill - you know I'd be purchasing that so quick my head would spin. $78 to $38.
Happy Shopping!
