Rachael loves giving gifts. After so many years of doing it, she's got lots of ideas you've probably never even thought of. Instead of keeping them to herself, she's letting everyone in on her ideas for unique presents everyone will love, and even tells you her favorite New York shops where she gets them all!

Stationary always makes a great gift and the choice among all the different designs make it personal. They're always handy to have around -- especially for thank-you notes!

Kids are sometimes hard to shop for. The last thing they seem to need is another toy. Why not get them something that will stimulate their imagination?

Kids can make these dolls whatever they want by drawing on them with the included magic markers. When they change their minds -- which they always do -- the doll can be washed and they can start anew!
