What a Softie

If a cashmere sweater is a bit out of your gift-giving price range, why not a cashmere scarf? When you think about it, it's really a better investment of your cashmere dollars: You wear a scarf everyday during the cold winter months, as opposed to the weekly or monthly sweater day and a it's much easier to rub the warm cashmere of a scarf on your cheek than to nuzzle your face into the arm of your sweater. Yeah, getting caught nuzzling your own sweater at work is awkward. Save your loved ones that uncomfortable interaction- go for a cashmere scarf instead. Land's End has some nice ones

Cashmere Cable Scarf $199.50
Lands End has cashmere scarfs for as little as $29.50. But I happen to like this pricey little cable knit number.

My brother has always maintained that everything tastes better with bacon on it. Everything. And really, I can't disagree... burgers, baked potatoes, salad, scallops, you name it. Well now you can sprinkle that beautiful bacon flavor on everything with JD's Bacon Salt. Imagine sprinkling this on french fries, eggs, mac and cheese, corn on the cob, tomato soup, roast chicken, grilled cheese...well...you get the idea..everything.

Oh, and it's vegetarian, calorie free, and kosher. Ain't life grand?
