Don't you worry your pretty head none. I have just the thing in mind. In fact, I think I'll send it early.

Rug's Bug said...

Say, my gift isn't on your wish list. Will you be mad?

Kelly said...

I never complain about gifts.

Kerri said...

Unless it's tiramisu. Then she doesn't complain until the jig is up and you know she doesn't like it and then you'll hear all about the yuckiness of coffee.... Sigh.

With age comes wisdom, so perhaps I'll try another tiramisu on you this year, Kel. You might be smart enough to like it now.

Kelly said...

Hey, Kerri, could you throw in some melon, and maybe a bit of coconut? It could be a watermelon tiramisu with coconut shavings! Ooo, and raw onions for garnish!

Rug's Bug said...

Don't worry. It won't contain coconut, melon, or coffee.
I'm waffling about what I'm going to send. I had it all planned out and then I looked at your Amazon wish list. Now I am thinking I need to go more practical than cute.

Kelly said...

RB, don't get me anything! If you do feel compelled to get me something, then get me whatever you want. I prefer gifts that are a complete surprise to gifts I've dictated. (That's why Airan and I didn't register when we got married, to the consternation of many.)

Anonymous said...

Oops. We'de better be checking out your wish list.

Rug's Bug said...

Maybe I'll send you virtual gifts.. That could be fun. My budget is a lot less constricted that way.

:)

Kelly said...

That's a fine plan, RB. Then you'll have no excuse whatsoever not to give me lavish (virtual) gifts.

Rug's Bug said...

OK. Here it goes. The first round of gifts. From a store I wish I could visit someday.

Olive Wood Cheese Knives and Board Set

For the Overcooked Chicken

Kelly said...

Awesome!! RB, you have excellent taste.

Next time you come to Chicago, I promise we'll go to Williams-Sonoma, rain or no rain.

Rug's Bug said...

Just wait until tomorrow!! Ohhh the anticipation!

By the way, shopping is so much fun when there's an unlimited amount of funds!!

Rug's Bug said...

After you've dined on exotic cheese and eaten perfectly cooked chicken ------

Time to Chill Out

Especially for Birthdays

Cherry Blossom Robe

PJ's

Slippers

Kelly said...

Hooray! I love all of it!

I sure could use those jammies. Anyone who visits the girls' photo site regularly gets to see the ratty tank tops I wear to bed. (So sweet of Airan to keep taking pics of me while I'm in my pjs.)

Rug's Bug said...

It's like the 12 days of Christmas around here. Only it's the 11 days of Kelly's Birthday. For day 3 I present:

After you're in your cozy pajamas--

Chocolate

Champagne

Tunes

Something you can read that won't be affected adversely by champagne

Kelly said...

Airan was asking me today what I want for my birthday. My reply: Check out the awesome items offered up by Rug's Bug! They'll do just fine.

I love this! I wish all of my birthdays had 12 days!

Rug's Bug said...

You thought I forgot about today, didn't ya?

Monogrammed Soap

Cool Platter

Pear Bookends

Le Eiffel

Pesto

Kelly said...

Yet again, RB, all winners! How do you do it? I think my favorite from this round is the Eiffel Tower doorstop -- I love it!!

Airan: Seriously. Pay attention.

Rug's Bug said...

I get lots of catalogs. :) Plus it's all stuff I would want too!

Rug's Bug said...

Something to Eat
No Melon Here

Or here either

Mochi

For the Asparagus

For the Baguette

Cheese Every Month

Kelly said...

A new cheese every month -- it's like a dream come true!!

Once again, I love all of it, especially the dark-chocolate-dipped fruits. Yum!!

We had mochi once at Sushi Wabi, our favorite sushi place. Strange, but good.

Rug's Bug said...

I'm horrible Muriel (sorry, bad habit of quoting movie lines. Blame the hubby)

I can't think of anything completely awesome today. Did I give you twelve gifts?

Kelly said...

You're off the hook, RB. I think you've given me more than enough fabulous virtual gifts to drool over.
