Norm Kettle Teapot
Show your pal you're appreciative of the cup of tea she's perpetually offering by gifting her with this minimalist kettle. Loose tea is contained in the small egg, making for a perfect brew (and an opportunity for her to take time to sit and do nothing but watch the leaves steep).

Philosophy Parties for Hosting Duo
Cherry crisp-scented bath gel and lotion bring a little bit of cheer to the lady of the hour (or long weekend), which is essential since she's likely too busy buzzing around with social-duties to take a breather. Sneaky hostesses might even douse their bods with these potions to fool guests into thinking they just missed her pulling a pie out of the oven.
