2014 Eatpicks Holiday Guide

Welcome to our very first ever Eat Picks® Holiday Gift Guide!! There were so many wonderful items to choose and I wanted to share ALL THE THINGS with you, but then the list would be out of control. So, I narrowed down what I liked best and believe any or all of the following will help make shopping so much easier this year creating huge smiles all around.  Everything listed is very reasonably priced, will support social good causes, foodies, guys, gals & even the kiddos.

Some of these items will have an affiliate link, (which I will let you know) and if you purchase through this link I will get a few cents to put into the coffee fund, so thank you in advance for supporting my daily caffeine needs. There are a few surprises for you too, so make sure you read through to the end!
