Housewarming gifts for Grandparents

Stacked layers of premium fruit, artisan cheese, smoked meats, and chocolates.

The pressure cooker that became a verb. Rice, beans, a whole chicken, yogurt, all in one pot with a lid that locks.

Two teams, one-word clues, twenty-five words on the table. The party game that works with grandparents and gamers at once.

Basil, mint and lettuce on the counter in January, grown in water under a light. The herb garden that does not die.

The big Yankee jar that smells like the tree lot. 150 hours of burn for twenty dollars, the neighbor gift that always lands.

The wool camp blanket with the stripes, woven in Oregon. The blanket that becomes the one on the couch for thirty years.

The rice cooker that cooks perfect rice and sings when it is done. The Zojirushi that families keep for twenty years.
