If you're feeling a little crafty this year and looking to save money (or in search of a unique hostess gift for your holiday parties), these apples can be individually wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon for simple, pretty gifts.
Presents For Everyone!
A gift suggestion that's 100% my kind of present:
A tarot deck (Golden Tarot is the one I own, and it's a great one for beginners; very pretty and user-friendly), either by itself or accompanied by a New Moon Creations Nature's Power Pendant (Lapis, pictured above, is to inspire a positive change).
The pendants come in a wide variety of stones intended to bring the wearer everything from luck to love to protection against negative energy, and are hand-made in Canada by my Aunt Trudy, who's offering RG readers 15% off of any purchase from her site. (She also does thoughtful and scarily accurate readings, which make a unique holiday present for anyone with introspective leanings.)
Holiday Gift Ideas: For The Little Ones
1. Jonathan Adler Zodiac Pillow ($98): It's expensive, but I love this as a gift for a newborn (or anyone, any age, really).
2. OshKosh Thermal Bodysuits ($20): I have a few of these, and they're great - really sturdily made and cozy.
3. Vulli Chan Pie Gnon Soft Chew Toy ($16): It's the same company that makes the classic Sophie Giraffe, but it's a Chan Pie Gnon. Whatever that is.
4. Leonor Greyl Mousse Douceur Fleurs D'Oranger ($25): For the baby (or mom) with fancy bathing habits.
Holiday Gift Ideas: For Her
If you're going big with a holiday gift for a special lady in your life...I say jewelry and bags. There is no one who doesn't like jewelry and bags. (Fine, that KitchenAid stand mixer works well, too.)

Kendrick’s 2011 Video Game Guide
So Jordan asked me to put together a video game guide for her site. Now, why should you take my advice rather than going to Metacritic or IGN or Gamespot?
You shouldn't. If you've even heard of these sites, you don't need me.
But if the last thing you remember about video games is not being able to beat the quicksand level in Mario Brothers 3...you're in for it. (Up there, that's Jordan discovering the joys of MarioKart for the very first time, back in 2009. It was an epic evening.)
60% of people play video games each month. That's more people than go to the movies. And that doesn't mean that 60% of the population are Mountain Dew-swilling, desensitized, computer savant tweens. It means that you can pick up a video game even if you haven't played one in, well, ever, and it'll take care of you like you're a VIP.
