The Back Buddy is a cushion designed to be used in most any chair or couch. It curves to provide lower back support, especially while pregnant or nursing. It’s designed to support proper spine alignment while sitting. I am not pregnant or nursing but I blog from my laptop while sitting on my futon a lot. My futon mattress is old and sags, and I was having backpack from the lack of support. Using the Back Buddy has gotten rid of my back pain without feeling like I am being pushed into an unnatural or strange position. I completely forget that I am even using the Back Buddy. It’s a great gift for new and expecting mothers as well as couch or bed laptop users or in-bed readers. Check out my entire Back Buddy review for more info.

Looking for a quality cookware set that will be sure to please for years? Food and Wine worked with Gorham to create high-performance stainless steel cookware. They combined aluminum and copper with the stainless steel for fast and even heat distribution. Lids are also made of stainless steel with cool touch revited handles. They are designed to perform well on most stovetops and are oven safe up to 500°F. The 7-piece set includes a 1.5-quart saucepan with lid, a 3-quart saucepan with lid, a 6-quart stockpot with lid and a 10″ skillet. Considering that the Food & Wine Test Kitchen tested dozens of products over the years, it’s no wonder they were able to create such great products that have all the must-have features you’re looking for and also have a distinctly modern flair. This 7-piece set is versatile and these pots and pans will become the first one you grab when cooking! Here is my review of the 7-piece cookware set.

Selfies are fun, but JOBY GorillaPods are great for those situations where you need to get further away to get the shot you want. They are super flexible 3-“legged” camera holders that can hold your phone or camera on any flat surface and can even wrap around tree limbs, poles, and more. I can wrap it around my deck railing to take photos of myself outside from a distance. No more need to bug my boyfriend each time I need to take a blog picture. These are great stocking stuffers or gifts for anyone who likes to take pictures. Varieties are available for smartphones, point & shoto cameras & DSLRs!
