We'd love to share with you the newest addition to the delicious family of Wind & Willow products, the Cheesebake Mix! Available in Chocolate Amaretto, Key Lime Strawberry and Caramel Butter Rum, these desserts are bound to wow your guests and leave them begging for the recipe. Only you have to know how easy it is.

A new addition to ShopMartins.com has just arrived and we are so excited! Gooseberry Patchcookbooks are here and are already flying off of our shelves! The Gooseberry Patch brand has been around for a while and continues to add new collections of tried and true recipes to their assortment.
One of the best things about this brand is that they offer cookbooks that specialize in just about any type of cooking that you can imagine. You can find Christmas cookbooks, slow cooker books, appetizer books, dessert books, healthy books, easy cookbooks, and my favorite- chocolate cookbooks! These are just a fraction of the offerings from Gooseberry Patch.
As an added bonus, each book also offers tips and advice from cooking to entertaining to craft projects. Some of the books have entire chapters devoted to crafts and how to prepare and package gifts from the kitchen.
Besides offering a variety of cookbook themes, they also have different sizes available. The smaller books retail for $7.95 making them perfect for slipping into a Christmas stocking or a gift basket for the newlyweds. The larger books are twice the size and retail $16.95. You could give these to a favorite teacher, a secret pal or any special cook in your life that needs a pick me up. Don't forget to grab one of yourself too. You'll enjoy hours of fun looking through the pages of your Gooseberry Patch cookbook and trying out the amazing recipes!

There are times when we all have to buy gifts for a friend, bride, mother-in-law, cousin, etc... who has everything imaginable. Out of desperation to get them something, you buy them new kitchen towels (at the last minute) only to go to their house and find 3 drawers full! Well, we've found something unique and original that will make you look like a star!
Ganz has an affordable collection of measuring cups and spoons that our customers love with choices including crosses, queen of the kitchen, cupcakes, teapots, flowers and more! They also have matching salt and pepper shakers and olive oil bottles that, with little effort, can be put together into a fun gift basket. Just add colorful filling and maybe a few Wind & Willow mixes to give it a little pizazz.
Each piece has an incredible amount of detail. The hefty measuring cups have decorative handles while the spoons have fun details throughout the entire piece. There are much more expensive designer versions available, but why buy a pricey version when you could buy several sets instead! Plus, at $20-40, you can give these away as "just because" gifts or stocking stuffers! Don't forget to treat yourself to a set as well! To see more measuring cups and spoons by Ganz, click here.
Personalized gifts remain one of the hottest trends in the gift industry because they say, "I took the time to look for something just for you." Nothing makes a gift more appreciated than putting a little thought and effort into it. Keeping this in mind, Kay Dee Designs created an adorable group of initial aprons in a young and flirty polka dot print with hot pink trim. The functional front pocket has your initial embroidered on the front in a feminine font and the ruffled bottom adds the final girly element.
Surprise a future bride with a gift basket filled to the brim with kitchen gadgets, dish towels and a memorable Kay Dee apron. She may not remember who gave her the potato masher, but she'll definitely think of you every time she slips on her apron! These aprons also make a fabulous gift for a secret sister, best friend, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law or any cooking diva!
Kay Dee offers other apron choices including a mother daughter domestic diva duo- a perfect pick me up for your favorite women!
Father’s Day and Mother’s Day have passed, and no other holidays seem to be approaching all too quickly. But do you really need a reason to give a gift? The best gifts you could give are the ones that are given “just because.” You want to let those you love know that you are thinking of them and that their relationship to you does mean a lot. Now for the fun part: what do you give them? You do not need to spend a fortune to show them that you were simply thinking of them.
Perhaps the person you are giving a gift to loves to cook, but is insanely disorganized. Help them out a little! The Expandable Recipe File in Tuscany Garden by Lang will do just that. This attractive recipe holder has twelve different places to file away a recipe, and labels to organize them. Go a step further and give them special Recipe Cards in What’s For Supper? by Lang. They can write their special secret recipes down on these cards and then file them away in their new organized files.
For the ladies especially, candles are wonderful; however, they are not something you can leave burning while you go out to run errands. For that, we have the Woodwick Reed Diffusers. These nifty diffusers soak up the scented oils, once left in there for a good amount of time, you take them out and let the ends that were soaking take their turn out in the open while the other end starts soaking. The scents are then released and leave the room smelling fresh without the flame. This gift will give them reassurance that their home will smell great and they will not have to worry about leaving anything burning.
Give a gift just because you can. There really is no reason not to.

Do you find yourself wondering what to get Mom for Mother's Day every year when it rolls around? Your Mom already has her signature perfume she likes to wear so why get her yet another bottle to put on her dresser? She doesn't wear scarves at all and yet the last three years in a row, you've wound up giving her a beautiful scarf for Mother's Day. Of course, Mom won't say anything but much like your macaroni-made flower artwork you gave her in the first grade for Mother's Day, she appreciates what you do but this year, get her a gift she can really use and enjoy.
With warmer weather approaching, get Mom a short sleeved blouse to wear. If she's more of an extrovert, go for a tribal design. Quieter and more reserved Moms will appreciate a more low key color or design.
If you can find out for 100% certain Mom's shoe size (you can ask Dad or check her closet if possible) and get her a fun pair of Crocs. Crocs have been the rage since last Spring and with good reason. They are durable, comfortable and look great with any summer wear from shorts to skirts to dresses.
Another great gift for Mom is a handbag for the spring and summer months. Something made with sisal or a natural looking fiber or fabric back is a very fun choice for the warmer months or go for the cool look of a soft, shiny leather handbag that mom can carry all year round if she chooses. A lovely rich brown color will meld with nearly every outfit and the sleek design will carry everything she needs in a small compact handbag.
See? Shopping for Mom on this Mother's Day doesn't have to be hard and you can find her a gift that she'll use all year round!
