Candle by the Hour

Lorraine — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:20:53 +0000

It works like this: feed the beeswax coil on this candle through the clip- around 3 inches (for one hour of candle burning) or more or less depending on exactly how long you want the candle to burn. Perfect for control freaks like me. $29.95 from Linens ‘n Things »

Lorraine — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:01:44 +0000

This is such a pretty bowl, I don’t know any house-proud mom who won’t love it. Wheel-thrown and carved from white stoneware, this Cherry Blossom Bowl from The Artful Home is finished with a green glaze and food safe. A little bit pricey, but the kind of gift she’ll keep (probably out in the open!)

Lorraine — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:15:29 +0000

It’s nearly April, which means that if you’re looking to buy your Mother’s Day gift online, you should start looking now! I’m kicking off this special Mother’s Day shopping series with the very awesome Mother Game from Uncommon Goods.

The game goes like this: players choose to be one of four moms- “doting, overbearing, passive aggressive or best friend”- and answer questions such as “Which sandwich most alleviates guilt – a turkey on whole wheat or a corned beef on rye?” Loads of fun- and just $30 at Uncommon Goods »
