Super Fantastic Last Minute Gifts for the Home
Manolo says, yes, we are in final countdown to day of celebration, but there is still just barely the time to obtain the few things with which to delight the ones you love.
“Please, Manolo, the fondue set” you are perhaps saying, “This is not 1963. We have moved beyond this.”
“Nonsense,” would answer the Manolo. This is not the mere fondue set, to be filled with melted Velveeta into which you will dunk the stale Wonder bread and the slices of red delicious. This is the Noirmont Cast Iron Meat Fondue Pot from Swissmar in which you will astound your friends by preparing the hearty Fondue Bourguignon, the convivial and satisfying aprés ski meal, of the sort the Manolo has enjoyed in Alpine hotels, after his more adventurous friends return from the slopes.
The Manolo has found through long experience, that the happy tablecloth is one of the best reasonably priced gifts to give the family of your acquaintance. It cheers the home and warms the heart, and if well chosen, will be the frequent reminder of the respectful affection you have for your friends.
Yet another cheerful gift that would be welcomed by any hostess is the BIA Cordon Bleu Cheese Plates. Just right for informal little soiree.
OF the course, if you wish to bring something most extravagant, then please allow the Manolo to suggest, sustainably grown caviar from California. Yes, it is not Beluga or Sevruga, but then you do not have to worry that your precious caviar dollars are going to support Russian gangsters and/or Iranian mullahs intent on denuding the Caspian Sea of life.
Manolo, these are Superfantastic suggestions!!
Thank you for your most kind words. Coming from the Deja Pesu, it means much to the Manolo.
totally agree- fondue set is a great gift!

A tablecloth IS a fantastic gift to give to someone — I agree completely. My former employer once brought me back a lovely embroidered linen tablecloth from Morocco, in neutral colours, and I absolutely adore it. And yet, a tablecloth is something that I’ve never thought to give to someone else, so I thank the Manolo for that reminder. My mother’s birthday is coming up in February, and a lovely new tablecloth would be just the thing!
