- Charitable gifts. These gifts put others first and help great causes at the same time.

They will receive a letter thanking them for their donation.

Just to give you an idea, here are a few of my favorite charities to donate too;
* Keep a Breast.org
* American Cancer Society
* March of Dimes

- Gift cards. It seems like such a small presentation, but it is quite a popular gift, especially for last minute shoppers. Do you know how many people pack the stores the day after Christmas just to return gifted items? A gift card avoids all of that. Have the kids put together some festive wrapping or decorate and envelope for a personal touch.

- Food gifts. Great idea for the Last Minute Shopper in your family. Before toys and technology, people gave what they had and that was usually some sort of food item.

Give the delectable offerings time to cool sufficiently before wrapping them.

Our Perfect Crab Cakes were featured in O Magazine's O List; where Oprah touted them as; the most spectacularly crab-filled crab cakes I've ever tasted.

Best of Europe Autumn Cheese Plate

It's always hard to narrow our choices when it comes to putting together a European cheese plate. These three, however, really stood out from the crowd.

Pont L'eveque Petit-also from France, and one of the world's most renowned original monastery cheeses-is an aromatic, washed-rind, soft-ripened cow's milk cheese with a big, bold flavor. And Italian Tuma di Langa Tartufo is a semi-soft, uncured cow's milk cheese dotted with Alba black truffles. Wine sold separately.
