Hey!
I love this link up every year. I like the fact that its regular people recommending the products, so they’re tried and tested and I like that it happens right before Christmas. Usually, someone recommends a favorite of theirs that finishes off my Christmas list. Thanks Melissa @320 Sycamore for hosting!
My Favorites for 2014
1. Blue Dog Bakery Dog Biscuits
Delta loves her all natural, healthy dog biscuits. They’re available at big box stores, grocery stores, and Amazon.
2. Boots & Barkley Mylar Cat Toys
Our cats love these crinkly mylar cat toys from Boots & Barkley. I buy them at Target.
3. The Skinnytaste Cookbook by Gina Homolka
My daughter has been cooking for us out of this cookbook. Every recipe has been wonderful. Here’s one of my favorites that she made and blogged about on this site.
We are a family that consumes popcorn and we’re picky about our popcorn. We prefer using a regular popcorn popper, but we found these microwave flavored corns and they’re delicious. We really like the Hickory Smoked Cheddar. A nice change every now and then from regular popcorn.
5. Starbucks Hot Cocoa Salted Caramel
When I can’t get it because they’ve run out of salt, these packets are the next best thing. A really convenient, tasty hot chocolate.
Lemon Squeezer
One of the best kitchen tools I’ve bought this year. I like that its sturdy and not made of plastic. I have arthritis in my hands and this squeezer is so much easier than a glass reamer. I bought mine at HomeGoods but it looks just like this one.
7. Fish Spatula
Another changed my life kitchen tools for the year. A friend of mine recommended it and I use it more than any other spatula for cooking. The metal is very thin and flexible so turning anything is so easy.
8. Noonday Collection Multi Beaded Wrap Bracelet
I love the mission of this company and I’ve really loved my bracelet. The artisan quality is very good. I actually have one with mostly gray colored beads. This one was as close as I could get to mine.
9. MacBook Air
I love, love, love my MacBook Air.
10. Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Cracked Heel Treatment
Best foot cream I’ve tried so that I can have pretty feet.

They LOVE them! If your cat loves paper or crinkly things then they should be a hit!
Great list, Mimi! I’m sure my kitty would love those too, and I can’t wait to try the popcorn. I don’t know why, but I’ve never even thought of anything other than our Orville Redenbachers! 🙂
I hope you like it!
You’ve given me lots of ideas of things I want to try. That heel treatment and hot cocoa are top of the list. Stopping by from 320 Sycamore link-up!
I love True Blue Spa! Their shea butter foot cream is my absolute favorite and has been for years!
You always have such great lists, Mimi! So many have mentioned skinnytaste this year, I need to get one. And that cocoa– I need to try it. Love those bracelets as well. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to y’all too!
The hot cocoa is the best!! I need to try the True Blue heel treatment! Thanks for sharing!
