ReplyDelete~F
I love this one, especially the title, what a sweet description. my favorite is the silk friendship bracelet, i love how it updates an old classic. would love to give these to all my best friends
ReplyDeleteokay that's a lot of 'loves'
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that I love the guides, but the titles are the best! It's so nice to have a sister! I always end up getting the most presents for mine :)
ReplyDeletethanks for these sweet comments! hugs, anna! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh. My sister - who is not my twin but also loves hiking by the ocean - would love the regelach cookies. I adore the gift guides so much and get several ideas from them! PS: I also love the description of who the gifts are for :)
ReplyDeletewant those cookies right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanna, love this list. Esp. the knee-pads tights!
ReplyDeletei think my fav. part about this post is that she wept when she met toby! oh, so sweet!
ReplyDeletelove these gift ideas! check out the gifts i just found! :) http://skv6.blogspot.com/2010/12/scored-hip2save.html
ReplyDeleteOk. Now I need the rugelach. Holy moly. PB and J?
ReplyDeleteAnd sisters are amazing creatures. I get to see mine in 3 weeks. And her daughter, who looks at me in such a strange way as if she thinks that I am some mutant of her mommy. I love it.
Great gift ideas! Those pb&j rugelach cookies are calling my name!
ReplyDeletei would love to smell that candle!
ReplyDeleteA slingshot pencil. For that time she hit you when you were 11.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a sister! I really like the idea of a seashore candle :)
ReplyDeletexo,
Cassie
i have fraternal twin girls that are two years old and i can only wish that they grow into grateful and creative sisters like you and your twin! great gift ideas too!
ReplyDeleteawww friendship bracelets :) so simple but thoughtful.
ReplyDeletehaha, gangsta bride, i love that! we used to fight when we were little and did really awkward karate kicks.
ReplyDeleteps. if i hadn't already done a post on this Maine perfume, i also would have added it to this gift guide:

She wept when she met Toby? how cute is she.
ReplyDeleteJo, love your blog. I always find inspiration here. You have some really great gift ideas that I can find ways to translate to my budget. Still, seeing the price tags on some of these is just another reminder for some that we're not made of money.
ReplyDelete$38 for a friendship bracelet we could make ourselves?
This is less like "wow! what a great item to save for!" and more like "even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't spend all of it on a single pair of mittens..."
love those friendship bracelets!! perfect for sisters!
ReplyDeletei don't even like PB&J but those croissant cookies look so damn good! and the silk friendship bracelet is a great idea. i love your holiday gift guide posts!

How sweet are those friendship bracelets! I've been on the hunt for the perfect ones for my girlfriends this year!
ReplyDeleteLove the kneepad tights! So cute!!
ReplyDeletethanks for your note, bethany! i have a tight budget myself for gifts, so i always keep costs in mind on my gift guide posts, and i keep almost everything under $50 (and usually under $30). but thanks for your feedback!
ReplyDeleteMy little sister is in the process of moving back to the East Coast from California, so the keeping-warm items and that seashore candle would be so perfect for her!
ReplyDeletelove all!
ReplyDeletei want a pair of the kneepad tights! very cute : )
ReplyDeletewww.adesignerandacontractor.blogspot.com
No sisters but I have some sweet and lovely girlfriends that certainly fit the bill. I'm dying to get my hands on this seashore smelling candle! And that vase is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet that she cried when first seeing Toby. I can still remember holding my sister's babies for the first time.:-)
ReplyDeleteAs always great finds. You make the best lists - I made my own this year, so know how much work it is! Thanks for taking the time.
I love...all! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour sister wept the first time she met Toby? That is so amazingly sweet!

This picture of the 2 sisters is priceless...so cute ! And I love your last comment on the friendship bracelets because you're not just sisters, so true... xx
ReplyDeleteI'll have to play the part of my own twin sister since I a) don't have one and b) must have those kneepad tights! Beautiful and sweet selections : )
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you have to say for dad's. Because I am STUMPTED!
ReplyDeletemy twin sister is sometimes the easiest person to buy for and at other times, like this year, the hardest person to buy for.
ReplyDeleteregardless... being a twin is so fun and so special and so unique!
isn't it the best!?
love this post! Beautiful things!
ReplyDeleteLove the mittens and the anchor note cards.... And the lavender sachets!
ReplyDeleteyes, anna, it was so sweet! stephanie, dad is coming up soon!! and tiffany, i so agree, being a twin is the best :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these gift guides! Thank you!! So fun!
ReplyDeletemy karate kicks were not awkward.
ReplyDeleteI live in CT, but am from eastern Canada, and just getting ready to take my baby girl home for the first time (she is a month or so younger than Toby)...not gonna lie, I teared up at the title of this gift guide. I'm so excited to see my sister's reaction when she sees her niece for the first time! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the notecards!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I am also a twin- it's the best :)
