Great Gifts at Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s saved us again today!

You know how busy we all get, and then how someone’s birthday just sneaks up on you sometimes? OR maybe you need a little something for a “thank you” gift  for a friend in the office- something nice, but not too much, right?

OK … Trader Joe’s to the rescue!

This week, we needed a little gift to take with us to a meeting, and well, we knew that Trader Joe’s would have something nice for us to bring

(And we were going to go right past the store on our way to the meeting …. And they have those samples…..)

We were debating between cookies and a small flowering plant (you know, jazz up a desk, brighten up a dull area in the office etc..) so what do we do? We buy BOTH at Trader Joe’s!

The cookies were butter shortbread s with either apricot or raspberry jam centers. They looked nice and colorful and very tasty….

The plant was also fun, cute small blooms and according to the tag, would be good in a low light area. Perfect!

The nice thing about Trader Joe’s is that everything is a sure thing and everyone just loves getting stuff from Trader Joe’s

So the next time you need a fun, quick gift remember to check out Trader Joe’s!

Oops! We forgot to tell you about our latest “fun” purchase at Trader Joe’s…. A plant!

Now you regular shoppers know that along with great deals on food and wine, Trader Joe’s also has some fabulous prices on cut flowers and plants of all kinds.

Usually we walk right by the assortment of beautiful plants and flowers that welcome us into our Tucson store, but last week we gave in to a plant purchase when we saw a rather unusual specimen….

This plant was unlike any we had seen before. It has big green pinecone-like stalks, with a burst of orange flowers.  It is a called an “Orange Star” and it is native to South Africa. Well, this plant just caught our eye and we have enjoyed having it on our table this week.  It has been fun to watch the flowers bloom and grown and change each morning.

This is what the plant looked like when we bought it last week….

We thought that this South African Orange Star plant was so unique, that we made a card from one of the images. See it here on Zazzle:
