I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris
A must have for anyone awesome. Amy Sedaris rocks, and this book is pure fantastic. The recipes are real (and the recipe for her famous cupcakes is included) and look delicious. The craft projects are fun, original, crazy, and easy to do. Her advice is hilarious and ultimately practical. Even if you don't like to entertain, this book is still fun to read, look through, and own.
Get a big, beautiful hardcover copy for yourself or a fantastic friend for only $15.39 on Amazon.
Holiday Gift Guide, Part 1
Songs for Christmas by Sufjan Stevens
To think I almost bought this set of CDs on iTunes because I could not find it in the stories. Thank goodness I finally found it, because this is one of the best packaged CDs I've ever seen. This is a boxed set of 5 Christmas CDs by the incredible singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens.
These are fun, beautiful holiday songs. He includes a mixture of modern holiday/winter songs and traditional/religious songs. There are 5 cds, each in an excellently designed cardboard slipcover. Also included in the holiday box are color stickers, a family portrait, a holiday cartoon, and a song book with lyrics and chords. Also included are a holiday essay by Rick Moody and a short story by Sufjan.
For only $19.99 on Amazon, it makes a great holiday gift for anyone, including yourself. Below are three songs from the set.
