There are a few major events/holidays coming up soon.  Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner?  Then comes Mother’s and Father’s Day.  I am not complaining because that means it’s warmer weather time.  And we will be able to hang out on the porch.  Every single morning, Deb and I, (and Ivy, of course) head to the porch and enjoy our coffee and the peace that nature brings.  We watch the birds making their nests and listen to them calling to each other.  Last year, we even saw a cute little mink walk right by us.  Thank goodness that Ivy’s head was already covered up because she would have “protected us” from that mink.  If you don’t know what they look like, you need to look, them up.  They are pretty cute.  We were quiet… so he didn’t even know we were there.  He appeared to be enjoying nature as much as we were as he bee-bopped about 10′ from us.  ????

I have recently  gotten a few different items from QVC and I thought they would make such great gift ideas for Easter baskets, etc.  We love QVC and share for them quite often.  QVC pretty much has everything you can think of.  I love checking their Today’s Special Values because you never know what great items will pop up.  Several items are only available at QVC.  Plus, they offer such great codes to save even more money.

A Few Practical Gift Ideas for Easter

Bell & Howell Set of 4 Taclight High Performance Flashlights 

If you get your adult kids Easter baskets, these flashlights would be perfect to add to them.  Or if you are an early Christmas shopper, here you go.  They have a zoom light function and five light modes:  high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS.  And they are the perfect size to store really anywhere.  There are four to a set so you can break up the set and give four separate gifts.  I just know our grandsons would even love these as well.

Sole Set of 6 Shatter- Resistant Wine Glasses 

I don’t know about you, but I’ve broken a few wine glasses in my lifetime.  ????  They always get knocked over.  And I even drop them in the sink while washing them.  Well, not anymore.  We grabbed a pair of these shatter-resistant wine glasses and LOVE them.  They have a nice shape and will be perfect for using around the campfire.  No worries about shattering glass.

Dash Set of 3 Mini Spring Shaped Waffle Maker w/ Gift Box

HOW CUTE are these mini waffle makers?  This is another great idea for gift giving of any sort.  These come in a set of three for one great price.  Not only do they have a pretty shape for the waffles, but they come in these gorgeous spring colors.  This would also be a great gift idea for kids or grandkids.

82″ Olive Artificial Tree by Nearly Natural 

I have had this 82″ olive tree for a long time.  And I still think it is one of the most gorgeous ones around.  I wanted to include it in this post because it is a perfect size to tuck into any space or any corner.  It seems like every time they are available, they sell out.  So grab it this time around because the price is right.
