Well, my favorite Christmas present ever was the Taschen 50s' Ad coffee table book I got this coming Friday from you.
maybe it's because i now have books on the brain, but i think one of my favorite Christmas presents was given to me a few years ago, after I'd first moved to LA. my mom is a Southern caterer, her mother was a caterer, so cooking is in my blood and i love it. when i moved across the country, i was forever calling my mom asking for recipes...so for Christmas, she gave me a beautiful journal that she'd filled with all of her recipes and my grandmother's recipes. every other page has a little tip or hint on it, and the fact that its entirely hand-written means that it's going to be something that i'll love passing down to my daughter (or son). theres something so comforting in seeing her handwriting every time i make Spiced Peach Salad or Claiborne Iced Tea...i love it!
My favorite Christmas present ever was a set of mixing bowls I got when I was about eight. My family and I came home late from a party with relatives on Christmas eve and there they were under the tree wrapped in festive green paper. I was old enough to be skeptical of Santa but I could not figure out how my parents could have put it there without me seeing them and so I believed Santa did. Happy memory, that. I haven't changed much, kitchen gadgets still make me swoon.
Hands down the bestest and coolest X-mas gift I got ever was a banana seat and a sissy bar for my Schwinn when I was 12.
