So I figure if Oprah can tell us all of her favorite things, I can at least pass along a couple of things I absolutely love {and these won’t break the bank}. All of my selections are under $40. They were either given to us as gifts, or I give them to friends and family at Christmas time. Hope you see something you like. 1. Crate and Barrel’s Table in a Bag This table is AMAZING. You see the legs come off and the whole thing rolls up. You can sling it over your shoulder and take it anywhere. We live in an area that has concerts in the park during the summer months and we use this every Friday. We also take it to the park for picnics or even to the beach. It’s even an awesome little table for kids to use if you have overflow at parties or holidays. I LOVE THIS TABLE! Table in a Bag from Crate and Barrel is only $39.95. 2. Restoration Hardware Luxury Throw Luxury Plush Throw from Restoration Hardware is $29. These throws are so soft and fluffy you won’t want to get out from under it. And the price this year can’t be beat. I think my girl Megan from Honey We’re Home had this on her list as well. A girl after my own heart. I especially like this gift for the relatives that live far away. Great for ordering online and sending directly to your family member’s house. Luscious! 3. Josh Groban Christmas CD The Josh Groban CD {for under $12.00 at Target} is simply beautiful. It plays over and over on our iPod. To me, it marks the beginning of the Christmas season and I feel uplifted each time I listen to it. Treat yourself or others. 4. Lollia Hand Cream I like to pick mine up at anthropologie because there is one close to me. However, I know that many little shops carry this line. It’s fantastic. I like to give the little $8 lotions because they can be tossed in a purse. Sweet hostess gift or stocking stuffer. 5. Photo Calendar My last favorite thing to give to family {grandparents, especially!} is a photo calendar. I happen to use Shutteryfly, but there are many online companies that offer them. I always wait for a 20% off coupon and end up ordering them for about $15. Every year they improve upon their darling designs. I really like that you can type in special dates on the calendar and make it a thoughtful gift. So those are a few of my favorite things. Not a long list, but a tried and true list that I love. Happy Shopping.

So my n-laws are the people who have everything and if they don't have it they can buy it! It's soooo hard to buy them gifts. They absolutely LOVE Josh Groban so I think I'm going to add that to my list! Awesome! Rats, I don't have a Target…remember, I know! I wonder if WalMart carries it????? Hmmm….my hunt begins : )

Megan {Honey We're Home} says
That personalized calendar is genius how you can put the important dates in there. It seems that birthdays often sneak up on me. And that table rolls up??? Wow, I've never seen that- perfect! Of course, I love that throw- we have 3 here and the red makes such a great Christmas gift- the color is really deep, gorgeous.

I've never seen that table in a bag. So much more useful and compact than the picnic baskets!

I've always seen that Lollia hand cream, but never purchased it — I may have to try it out.
And I am totally with you on Josh Groban — that CD is my favorite ever (and is on repeat around the holidays). O Holy Night is my favorite!
Bonnie says

That is BY FAR my favorite lotion (but in WISH scent!) I've used it for quite some time now and I'm always telling friends to buy it. You can't beat it! Love this list.
