If there is one thing I'm famous for in my circle of family and friends, its getting the coolest presents for people. I like to give gifts that are personal and show people that I know something about their personality and what they like. Its makes them feel special and makes me feel like I really accomplished something. One of my favorite online stores for finding unique gifts is Red Envelope. Their beautiful gifts are available for such great prices they turn any occassion into something to celebrate.
We were lucky enough to get to choose one item from the Red Envelope website to review. Since it was right around Father's Day, I let my hubby pick something. He chose the Mr. Beer Home Brewing Kit. This is the perfect gift for any beer lover. Going through the process of making it as well as drinking it makes it lots of fun. Plus in todays economy, its a great way to save money. The brewing kit makes 2 full gallons of beer at one time. Its definitely cheaper than buying beer in the store. Plus you're helping the enviroment by reusing the bottles.
The kit comes with detailed directions that are simple to follow. You just need to steralize the container, mix up the ingedients, heat it up, and then let it sit for awhile. The process does take about a month or more and we've only had the kit for about a week. So we haven't gotten taste the beer yet, but I will give everyone I little update when its done to let you know how it turned out. But making the beer is simple and fun and will keep you man occupied for a few hours:)
This is just one example of so many amazing choices at Red Envelope. They have tons of beautiful jewelry, gifts for kids & babies, and home decor. Many of their items can even be personalized. If you need a gift for someone special, now would be the perfect time to go shopping at Red Envelope. New Age Mama readers are being offered an exclusive discount.

I subscribed by email to get the update on the beer. I bought this for my husband for Christmas. Never in a million years would I have guessed what a fanatic it turned him into. We now have three kegs at all times and a rotation of different beers. I suggest the coffee beer recipe. It is awesome.

I absolutely love Red Envelope! They have the best gifts. I purchased a small pearl and jade bracelet for my baby daughter (about 9 years ago) from them when they just opened their store online. I still have it saved in her baby box. It's gorgeous.
I would probably choose the cubist chip and dip set. I love the modern design!
