Cool Idea: Eco Chic Gifts
Growing up I had a friend who was the queen of re-gifting. She usually passed on my gifts to her to our mutual friends when their b-days came around, but one year she re-gifted a board game I'd bought her to me on my birthday! It got to the point where she might as well have left all of her presents in their wrapping paper and change the gift card.
Ask Casa: Garden Gifts For Wedded Friends?
Hi Casa,
My friends just got married, and even though I attended their wedding (gorgeous, by the way!), I still haven't given them their gift. I feel a little guilty about it, but I just couldn't imagine getting them a cheese grater or a set of pillow shams from their registry. I want to get them something a little more unique.
Roundup: Gardening Gifts For Mom
The parallel between Spring and Mother's Day has naturally always led me to purchase gardening gifts for my mom each year. But, it's also just nice to help our mamas enjoy their gardens a bit more. The down and dirty gardening types might be happy to receive some helpful tools or gear for their hobby, while the more aesthetic-focused moms might want to receive a copper garden hose holder that simply looks good.

Nice and New: Brocade Home Gift Collection
Brocade Home has come out with a gift collection that's totally fresh, just in time for the holidays. They've outfitted mobile accessories, frames, journals, albums, garden tools, office tools, candle holders, holiday trim, and other decorative objects in their wonderful rococo prints and soft hues, and there's no obnoxious red or green in sight. I'm especially psyched to see some of these new designs because I adore all of their textiles but wouldn't necessarily want to cover my walls or furniture in them.
Crave Worthy: Message Bean
The adorably innovative Message Bean ($14.95) would be a great and affordable housewarming or hostess gift. The recipient simply has to plant the bean, and a message appears on either side of the sprout. Varieties include "Thank You," "Love," "Good Luck," "Happy Birthday," "Get Well," and more.
