Don't forget the lovely Poinsettia. Poinsettias make a lovely centerpiece. You can buy them as is, or you can dress them up yourself. Dress up the holidays with eye-catching new looks with an old favorite!
There are more choices than ever before -- breeders and indoor gardeners have more color options thatn ever before. Variegated reds, white and pinks.
Beyond RED - Shop for out of the ordinary varieties. Three examples are "Snowcap White" - bright white bracts (you can spray them with clear or even colored glitter to add some glitz (see blue flower to right); "Plum Pudding" - purple bracts and "Holly Point" - red bracts splashed with white.
Weeks of Color - To keep poinsettias looking great for weeks, place them near bright light and away from hot or cold drafts. Water when soil is dry to the touch, and allow excess water to drain.
Five minutes is all it will take to put together a nice centerpiece. Start with a low-growing poinsettia plant, place it a decorative container, add candles on each side and you're done.
Don't forget.... Poinsettias are seasonal, therefore, less expensive than choosing out of season plants!
Silver is an elegant non-color that makes a huge statement. Elegance. It can be simplified or grand. Two favors that illustrate this nicely are the mini champagne buckets and the candy truffle tray. Simple. Inexpensive. But looks expensive. : )

Each mini silver champagne bucket can be engraved with a name or a special message. Add your own favorite miniature liquor drink or we recommend our chocolate champagne bottle to be place inside each bucket. It is a classy, yet fun party favor to give to your guest for any occasion.
Chocolate Heart Truffle Silver Tray - This adorable chocolate heart truffle is irresistible to the taste with its circular accent speck of white chocolate and dark chocolate heart motif. This delectable truffle is filled with a white cream that will sure bring a smile. The chocolate truffle is served on a mini silver plated tray. What better way to thank your guest than to give them the white glove butler treatment with these delicious bon bon favor trays.
You can cut edges with the one product... but the second one below.... whew! You can't. You gotta work ... no edge cutting! First my favorite thing..... brownies.... Girl's gotta eat! How cool is this! Plus this makes a great bridal shower gift! So make sure you put it on your list!
The Edge Brownie Pan For corner brownie fans and chewy edge lovers, it's a dream come true -- a gourmet brownie pan that adds two chewy edges to every serving! It's the Edge Brownie Pan from Baker's Edge, and it's the first (and only) brownie pan specifically designed for chewy edge lovers. The pan's patented sidewalls also improve baking performance by circulating heat evenly to the pan's middle, where food typically takes longer to bake. The size is just right -- 9" x 12" x 2", so it's a perfect fit for box mixes and most recipes for 9" x 9" and 9" x 13" conventional pans. Widely acclaimed for its innovation and quality since its launch in 2006, the Edge Brownie Pan has received rave reviews by more than 200 magazines, newspapers, and blogs. Units are individually boxed and come complete with a gourmet recipes insert and a custom nylon spatula.
So after you eat all the edges then what? I'll tell you what -the guilt comes in ... which brings us to Kettlebells I first heard about these the other night on the Donnie Deustche show 'The Big Idea" and am quite intriqued. I may go this way after Christmas to get rid of the packed on pounds as opposed to joining another gym. My only concern will be if I let go and the bell goes flying into the tv or wall : ) But I have to say, these look pretty cool. Previously, I only thought Russian athletes used these things... so much for stereotyping... they are evidently popular!
