The vision of yumminess above is the “Colossal Pistachios 20oz Decanter” from Superior Nuts. This particular decanter is just a little over $20, making it not only a great Christmas gift for co-workers and/or associates, but a great little, “To me, From me” gift as well.
From the Web Site:
Beautiful decanter filled with Colossal Pistachios. These Colossal Pistachios are Huge. Only the largest are chosen, then roasted in small batches and lightly salted to bring out their best flavor. The best Snacking imaginable!”
Superior Nuts has every single kind of nut you can think of and they really outdo themselves on finding ways to present them – glass jars, decanters, baskets, tin cans, etc. My personal favorite nut is the Cashew and the things they do with it makes my head swim. The “Giant Cashews (2.5 Pound Glass Jar)”
(pictured below) kind of makes your mouth water, doesn’t it? Click through to see even more mouth-watering deliciousness.
I’ve found a new website that I’m absolutely addicted to – Useful Things.com. They have gifts, gadgets, gizmos, and goodies that you literally just won’t find anywhere else. Best of all, everything is on the very, very cheap.
The first thing I ever got from Useful Things was the Posy Desktop Photo/Memo Holder you see pictured above. When I saw its price ($12.95), I kind of thought, “Uh oh, this is going to be a hot little mess,” but I was delighted to see that it’s not only very well made, it’s a knock out!
It’s perfect for showcasing pictures of loved ones, whether they’re sweethearts, kids, pets, or yourself. Whoever motivates you, inspires you, and makes you smile. My favorite use for mine is this: I like to put my most important To Do tasks on an index card – ones that are more like Gotta Dos than To Dos – and then I stick the index card into one of the slots.
No excuses then! It’s right there staring at me along with my cats’ smiling faces. This process has honestly helped a great deal, because you know how To Do lists are – they get misplaced, stuff gets piled up on them, you forget if this was yesterday’s list or last week’s (hey, it happens).
Find more Office Gifts at Useful Things.com. While on the site, check out the other “shops,” like the ones for the kitchen and the home. You’ll find them under the Shop Menu tab at the top. You’re going to love these, I guarantee it.
Speaking of love, three words: See Star Trek. Three more: Best Movie Ever.

Remember the post about What Your Office Decorations Are Saying to the World? We saw how the things in our office pretty much profile our personality. For example, Garfield figurines would indicate someone who loves to laugh and have a good time. Cubs merchandise would indicate a very patient, loyal soul who would LOVE to laugh and have a good time.
In October.
Just once.
Well, in keeping with this philosophy, I’ve found something you can get for your office’s biggest mouth this Christmas. Check out the dentally imposing SHARK BITE STAPLER

You wouldn’t have to tell him or her any of the back story. But it’d sure be a good laugh each time you saw one shark using another.
