Last-minute Christmas Ideas

I said I was “done” writing about Christmas gifts, but a few emails have changed my mind. Here’s a real quick rundown of ideas from readers:

If you have a knitter you need to buy something special for, Hannah Rose Unique Handmades has “Knitting Bling” which are really CUTE stitch markers that fit over the needle.

Monk Hot Sauce. No, really. I don’t know how it got by me during my survey of monastic gift ideas but this stuff is made by Benedictine monks located in Arkansas (is it just me or are there more monasteries in the American South than is commonly realized? This monastery looks like it should be in Tuscany!). The Hot Sauce is supposed to be off-the-scales hot. My Elder Son likes to burn his mouth, tongue and esophagus when he eats, so I ordered some for him, rather last-minute.
