Whenever I send care packages to my cousins in college, I include some "Kitchen Sink Cookies." The recipe is from Martha Stewart. They are super yummy and hold up very well when shipped.
I find that my flowers last longer if I cut the stems shorter. So, low-profile arrangements last longer than tall ones.
Also, I forget where I saw it (BHG? Consumer Reports?), but I ...
Knock Knock makes a great grocery list with check-boxes. I believe it's called the "All Out Of" pad and it has a magnet on the back to stick to the fridge. Very reasonably priced (
My cabinet doors have been painted over and over so many times that most of them don't shut. My kitchen always looks a bit disheveled because of this. Since I'm a renter (and limited on workspace...
I agree that this is a bit much, especially for emergency and safety issues. "shockthebourgeois" had a great suggestion of getting a pay-as-you-go plan and keeping 30 minutes or so on there at a t...
With clothes, I like to hang everything backwards (i.e., with the hook towards me). Each time I wear something, I hang it back normally (i.e., with the hook away). Six months later (or however lo...
Ugh. No thanks. I'd rather not stare into a wall while I eat. Plus, if you use that yellow chair, you'd be bumping into the cart/shelf by the stove every time you sat down or got up.
I'm absolutely heartbroken. I get a whole bunch of magazines each month, and this is the one I would keep if forced to whittle down. I'm going to go cry now.

I'd recommend any large crafts store, like Michael's. They usually have a wide selection of baskets, at reasonable prices. They also often go on sale and/or provide a coupon in their weekly ad.
I have frogs all over my bathroom, which started with a single shower curtain from Target (which I no longer have).
And I have cows all over my kitchen, which started with a cow print ...
If you really love this set, and it's structurally sound, then I think it's worth it.
Also, remember that $400 is what it's LISTED for. You might be able to talk them down a bit.
I also like combining things off of the registry with more personal gifts. I got one friend the bakeware he registered for and complimented it with some gourmet mixes/ingredients. For another fri...
Perhaps a gift certificate for their favorite restaurant (that requires personal knowledge that other may not have) or some place fancy that they don't normally splurge on.
Other good ...
I have a Chase card that gives me $25 for every $2500 that I spend. I only use the card out of convenience (rather than out of need for credit), and I pay off whatever I buy within 1-2 weeks, so I...

I add 1/2 - 1 slice of bread to the container. Also works well for keeping cookies soft after baking.

I'd do the robin's egg blue in the rug, or perhaps a summery yellow.
