The best gift I thought of

The food obsessed freak I am has come up with some great gift ideas. Two of my dear friends recently bought a house. So I was thinking of how to give them something useful and meaningful for Christmas....of course I go for the heart of it and think of the kitchen. We share a love for Indian food (mine a bit more snobby due to my time in England) so I found a great cookbook for them on Indian cuisine. The kicker is, I am about to head out and go to the herb shop and get them a bunch of spices needed for the recipes. Things like that will be the frills the definitely won't be buying when the they are worried about wallpaper and bedding.
