 This is high on my list this year! By attaching these little tiles (starting at $19) to the necessities in life {eggnog, keys, handbags} you can keep track of them on your phone {just be sure to attach velcro to your phone to keep it near!}

The Hammond’s Candy shop has been making treats the old fashioned way for generations. The candy canes ($2.95 each) and ribbon candy ($18.95 for a set of 4) are as beautiful as they are delicious. And the caramel covered marshmallows ($13) are just ridiculously luscious! Read about our visit to the factory by clicking on delightful, and click on traditional to see more of their Holiday Confections.

I can’t imagine life without my Restaurant Readers ($19.95). I keep them on my night stand at all times, they are my perfect partner for late night list making and reading. When I’m traveling, they help me find my way around the hotel room without going bump in the night. And, as the name implies, they let you read the menu with ease in even the darkest, most romantic restaurant. I like these so much I even gave a pair to a reader a few years ago.

Social Q’s ($19.91, hardcover) is THE modern day guide to social interactions. Philip Galanes {who writes the column of the same name in the NY Times} is frank, funny and full of good advice. He’s is such a splendid fellow, he even gave a signed copy of his book to us for a giveaway when it first came out, read all about it here.

Many people don’t realize this, but Seattle chocolatier Fran Bigelow made the original Salted Caramels ($30.00 for 20 pieces), a confectionery creation that has swept across the globe. Share the originals, which taste as elegant as they look, with the ones you love.

And now, something for you…

I hope you found some things here for those on your list, and now here is what we’d love to give to you!  Our friends at Antica Farmacista have offered to give large bottle of their luxurious Prosecco Home Ambiance Perfume, to one lucky Splendid Market reader.
