Picture This






















I've decided that all my tabletop picture frames should be silver or have silver in them. So, on that note, here are some great frames all under $50. The first ones are enamel from PotteryBarn running from $24-$29. The second is from Mariposa,a mere $25. The next are again PotteryBarn, a bamboo design ranging in price from $19-$34. And the last one is a classic from Reed and Barton for $42.50. I think picture frames make a great gift, especially monogramed with a picture of a special event.

Well I Declare!





These items are all from Ida Claire, Monogramed Gifts and Accessories. They are all under $50 and they are all acrylic, which is key for outdoor entertaining, especially if one has small children. Personally, I would love to recieve any of these items. I could actually use the salad bowl and the chip and dip set. The prices respectively are $34, $32, $46, and $32. All well under $50 and great gift ideas.

I'm back with more 50 under 50





Sorry for the slack, I can't name just one reason, but I thought I should finish what I started. Now, on with 50 gift ideas under $50. Hable Construction. I found some cute ideas. The first image is a bragbook. In what they call clementine bead. You gotta love orange! Bragbooks are good for grandmothers and women who you don't know all that well. The price is $35. Then there are garden gloves-adorable. Obviously, a great gift for a garden person or maybe as a housewarming gift, (if the house has a garden.) These are $25.You could get two! Then you have the 2008 pocket calendar. A great christmas gift. Just $30.And last but not least, coasters! They are fun for anyone or any occasion. A set of 6 for $45. I'll be back tomorrow I promise!
