Every year I go to a “favorite things” party with some friends our age [ed. note, by that she means over 30 . . . we'll leave it at that.]. We are told to take one gift that costs under $10. I have yet to stay within that limit. Please help!
I attend the same type party, but our budget is a bit bigger — $20. It is amazing what a difference those $10 can make! I found a beautiful glass ring last year that was a big hit. But, keeping my recommendations in the $10ish range, here are my suggestions.
Uncommon Goods is the online store of choice because they have unique gifts at excellent prices:
Sassy Luggage Tags from Uncommon Goods ($10 for a set of 6)
I love these luggage tags with messages like “careful: my shoes are inside,” and “I’m pretty sure this isn’t your bag.” Beats the red ribbon I attach to my suitcase. Click on the image to buy these at Uncommon Goods.
Porn For Women ($12.00)
Don’t worry, this book contains no nudity. Instead, it offers clever descriptions like “She walked through the front door and stopped dead in her tracks, overcome with desire. There he was – shirtless, his muscles flexing as he vacuumed the carpet…and she hadn’t even asked him to.” Sure to get a giggle from any woman who receives it.

101 Things You Should Know ($8.00)
Because you really should know, you know? This handy guide explains how to do 101 things that everyone should know, but many of us don’t. The tips cover a wide range of topics from how to unclog a backed-up sink to chopping an onion without crying, building a campfire to treating a hangover, making a memorable toast to avoiding jet lag. I need this. Click on the image to purchase from Uncommon Goods.
