There’s a hundred page thread on espresso machines already. Lots of great info led me to the Crossland, found on ebay for less than 600 bux, and it’s greatQuote:

Yeah.. aware of the thread but it is YUGE and it seemed like he wanted a quick answer. Sometimes short cuts are nice, no?
Come on, this is TGR. We don’t take shortcuts, we beat every single issue into dust.

How about this one--best under $500 espresso machine that's no taller than 12 inches? I thought so.Quote:

seems like they've got a mug for just about anything. Saw surfing too and many, many animals, SW art and zodiac
Dear KQ, I found the perfect gift, I just don't know whom to give it to. Please help. https://www.amazon.com/People-Walmar...DMQYBN5CAS5D6C
OMG that is awesome! Are you going to any holiday parties where you need to bring a white elephant gift?Quote:

As a self proclaimed KQ Claus’ little helper, may I suggest this little gem?
Gifted two so far and they both loved it.

what do you think would work best - something that sits on the counter/dresser like this:Quote:

Also, there are a ton of options from elegant to rustic plus easy ones to make yourself. That second pic is from Pottery Barn.
Edit add: Should have mentioned you could go whole hog and get a free standing jewelry box:

Been pretty quiet this year. Everyone ready?
My old lady has been hinting at wanting a juicer. My main concern is that this is a phase, and in a few months it'll be just another kitchen appliance taking up space. Thoughts?
The other concern...I'm all out of ideas. We're both early 30s, love skiing/climbing/fly fishing. She loves to knit, but she part-times at a yarn shop and has access to all that. Our budget is small (less than $60). Haaaaalp!
I'm going to give this some thought but off the top of my head since you like outdoor activities check out Eddie Bauer. They have some killer deals on fleece and what not and then there is always the sleep cardigan (several styles to choose from) that I have and love and several other's on the board have given with success.Quote:

Finally check out Novica - they have some neat stuff that is made by artisans from around the world.
I'm going to add this because I love it every time I see it pop up on my FB feed. From Novica:
Indonesian Rainbow Glass and Driftwood Windchime, "Rainbow Dreams" $40
https://images1.novica.net/pictures/...5963_2_400.jpg
Details
Working near Singaraja, in the mountainous northern region of Bali, local artisans collect naturally fallen branches and glean wood from the local coffee plantations to fashion these delicate, colorful wind chimes. Once the reclaimed wood--teak and coffee--is gathered, each piece is sorted by size and color before being hand-shaped and strung with pieces of cut glass. Dazzling in the sunlight, the resulting rainbow chime is a gorgeous example of nature-inspired design. Each piece will vary slightly, due to the natural variations of the wood.

Driftwood, glass
Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly
Eco-friendly: crafted from reclaimed wood

Okay, seeking an equestrian-related suggestion. My (grown) daughter is an avid equestrienne but she and her husband are well off, so I’m thinking I don’t really need something technically useful ‘cause she has all that shit. Last year a Pendleton horse blanket was well received. Fashion stuff might work for her I guess. Waddya think?
What discipline?Quote:
