My Top 10 Favorite Gift Ideas for 2009

Do you  have someone on your list, and you are just not sure what to give them this year? Here are my top ten favorite gift ideas for 2009.   Hopefully this will help some of you out!

10.   Muir Glen Organic Gift Set

Price: $7 Shipped!  $2 of each one sold is donated to the Chef’s Collaborative, a national network of chefs dedicated to promoting sustainable food.

9. Wii Fit Plus

Price: $79-$99 depending on the sale.

If you know someone that has a Wii, I highly encourage you to consider giving them the Wii Fit Plus.  Great for losing weight and getting fit!

8. Vic Firth Maple Rolling Pins

Price: $13.95 and qualifies for free super saver shipping on Amazon.

This is the rolling pin that I use in my home, and I love it. It is the best bargain on a good quality rolling pin.

7. Just Neem Shaving Products

Price: $6.50 – $54.95

Just Neem sent my husband some of their shaving products, and he is happier with them than any shaving products he has ever used. See his review and a special deal for my readers on my Natural Holiday Guide here.  With each purchase you support tree planting and economic development in Africa.

6. Handmade Rice Heat Therapy Bag

Make It Yourself!  If you have any sewing skills whatsoever, then you can do this!  This makes a perfect gift for both men and women. I made this last year for some of the men in my life, and it was one of the most special gifts I was able to give!  Use a winter inspired flannel fabric, to really make it warm and inviting during the cold months.

5.  Tree Branch Blocks

Price: $29.95

I recently ran a giveaway for this product, and they are featured in my Natural Holiday Guide.  We were given some of these from Natural Pod, and I think it is the perfect gift for any child.  See my review on this product HERE (the giveaway has ended, but there is still time to order some of these yourself).  They are offering 15% off right now, too!

4. Photo Calendars from Snapfish

Snapfish is currently running a B1G1 Free deal on their calendars.  Plus you also get a free flip book when you order.  This is such an awesome deal, and makes a perfect gift for grandparents or other close family.

3. Make someone a tutorial on how to use coupons,  include some of your favorite coupons with it and a list of your favorite websites that help.  The gift of saving money is one of the best during these tough times!  As the saying goes, “Give a woman a coupon, feed her for a day; Teach a woman to coupon and you feed her, her entire family and all the local area shelters for the rest of her life.” ~Erin

2. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl

Price: $11.49 on Amazon and qualifies for free shipping (reg price: $27.50).

I recently bought this cookbook, and love it! Ree Drummond not only shares her fabulous easy recipes, but also tells the story of her pioneer romance while showing off her beautiful photography. It’s also a #1 New York Times Bestseller (shows you how good it is!).

And my #1 Favorite gift idea is….

1.  The Gift of Love.  There is nothing better than to give someone love this Christmas season.  It can be giving through a sacrificial action, a hand-made gift, a hand-written note, or even a financial gift.  People are hurting, and in need of love desperately.  It is my hope that everyone will give selflessly this year and all year ’round.

Disclaimer: I received sample products from Just Neem and Natural Pod (Tree Branch Blocks), but this in no way affects them making it to my top ten list.  I truly believe these are worthy products.
