For me, Temp-tations is a gift every day — not only does it make my life easier (prep, cook, serve, and store all in one dish), but it also has united an entire community where I can go and not only talk about my passion, but listen and help all of you with yours. One of the most asked questions is, "What do I recommend gifting from my collection?" Well, I'm glad you asked.

 

For the woman who has it all, I love the idea of giving K27938 - Temp-tations Old World 16-piece Oven-to-Table Set. It's the most complete set that I've ever offered. Two of the most popular bakers are included — 13" x 9" and 11" x 7" (can we say yummy holiday recipes?). The 13" x 9" baker actually includes a ceramic trivet that also serves as a cutting board, serving platter, cookie sheet, and, oh yeah, a lid for your 13" x 9" — love! Two great 1.5-qt. bakers are perfect for just the two of you or for side dishes. And four 10-oz. EZ hold bakers (think individual desserts, soups, and portion control — I know portion control can be a bummer but necessary at times ) are also included.

 

For the man who loves to cook and is impossible to buy for, I love the look and feel of K33777 - Temp-tations Carved Old World 8-pc. Oven-to- Table Set, done in the carved Old World pattern. Great size bakers, ceramic trivets, storage covers, and more…he'll love the look and, better yet, the performance only Temp-tations Ovenware delivers.

 

For that special sister with whom you share all your memories, how about K8103 - Temp-tations Old World 11-pc. Square Oven-to- Table Set — a great, versatile set with bowls included. Plus, tempered glass trivets, wire racks, and truly a sampling of the best of Temp-tations. And there's just something about square shapes that says "memories."

 

For your mother who has inspired you every day...how about upgrading her dinnerware with H13604 - Temp-tations Old World 16-piece Dinnerware Service for 4 or K30454 - Temp-tations Polka Dot 16-piece Dinnerware Service for 4 depending on her style. Durable and affordable, these plates, cups, bowls, etc. can do everything Temp-tations Ovenware can — go in the oven up to 500°F, microwave to reheat that coffee, freezer and fridge, and, of course, my fave...the dishwasher.

 

For your best friend (who you hope upon receiving will invite you over to visit), I love the idea of the convertible (careful she may want the car but...) K28421 -  Temp-tations Old World 3-piece Convertible Serving Set— the most versatile item I've ever created. It morphs from a covered cake plate to a chip 'n dip to a serving bowl or plate and so much more — love this item!

 

For your friend that can be a little bit of a diva...ha ha ha, I love the idea of the handbag cookie jar H168465 - Temp-tations Old World Hand Bag Cookie Jar. It's so stinking cute and if your friend is anything like mine (and you know who you are) she will love it.

 

For your co-worker, I love the idea of lunch in a box, K30607 - Temp-tations Old World Lunch in a Box 4-piece Set. This comes complete with a plate, latte mug, napkin, and soup crock (ALREADY GIFT BOXED) that can be displayed on her desk and is as beautiful as it is, did I mention, functional!

For gifts on a budget, I love the idea of the travel mugs K34690 - Temp-tations Polka Dot Set of 4 Travel Mugs w/ Silicone Grip or K30875  - Temp-tations Old World Set of 4 Travel Mugs w/Silicone Grip depending on style. You'll receive 4 of them ALREADY GIFT BOXED so for a little under $6.50 each, you'll have 4 gifts for the tea lover, the coffee addict, the hot chocolate enthusiast (that would be me), and one for yourself, of course!

 

Don't forget QVC has wonderful products — I'm honored to be a part of their family — and I've shared the following gifts with my family and friends. A16619 - philosophy super-size fragrance 3-in-1 gel & body lotion duo: falling in love for me and for my mom, of course, amazing grace. M24031 - Boston Coffee Cake Set of 2 Cinnamon Walnut &Blueberry Cake: can we say delicious Boston coffee cakes — my BFF has been the happy recipient of this one . And when all else fails, I absolutely love Cheryl's cookies, especially M107252 - Cheryl's Frosted Duo Cookie Gift Box, 36 ct.. Remember, it's not the price of the gift, it's never quantity over quality — give a gift you know will make them smile, even if it's a phone call to say "I love you," and make sure it means something. That is the true spirit of the holidays!
