Nice and New: Anthropologie Accessories
I've always thought that Anthropologie does furniture, lighting, and kitchen wares really well. But I've felt that the shop's decorative accessories are often overlooked, either too contrived or just not special. There are a handful of new accessory arrivals at Anthropologie now, though, that I really love.

What Will You Spend on Your Kids' Holiday Gifts?
The National Retail Federation is estimating the average household will lay out around $630.85 on gifts during the holidays this year. For most families, a major chunk of that budget goes to the kiddos who have been nice and, perhaps, a tad naughty. Whether or not you plan on going over or under the national average, parents not wanting to disappoint their little ones almost always find themselves spending more than they'd like during the festive celebrations.
Better Than Lollipops: Crispy Rice Treats on Sticks
At a baby shower this year, LilSugar sent everyone home with the most clever party favors: crispy rice treats on a stick!

This delight takes less than 10 minutes to come together on the stove top.

Cupcake Car: Love It or Hate It?
Recently Neiman Marcus released its annual Christmas book, and the Internet food world was abuzz because of one item: the cupcake car.
We got another look at these crazy cars, which are $25,000 each, a couple of days ago when Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb drove them around on the Today Show.
I think they are incredibly absurd and wonder who would ever buy one.
Do Tell: When Is the Last Time Someone Gave You Flowers?
I don't think I've ever received flowers and not loved them. I love tulips, roses, ranunculus — I'm not picky at all. OK, I'm not a fan of carnations, but even then.
Website of the Day: Lolligift
Technology is good for making office politics easier, if nothing else!
First GroupCard came out, eliminating the need to pass around a paper greeting card to say sayonara or Happy Birthday to a colleague, and now Lolligift has the same idea, only it's for pooling money together for group gifts.
Once you set it up by entering in the recipient, gift, and requested amount, you just send around the link to your participating co-workers, and people contribute their money via PayPal.
