Perfect Christmas gift ideas and suggestions by the be2 team, daily December 1st – 24th 2009.
You probably know the problem: Grandparents love seeing pictures of their family and put them all over the house. When you were getting your rolls of film developed, you always used to get a few extra prints for them, but today you just don’t do that anymore. So the grandparents either don’t get to see your holiday snaps and the latest baby pictures or you try showing them a slideshow on your laptop screen, which doesn’t tend to be very popular with older people.
Now that digital picture frames have become so reasonable, you can simply get one as a Christmas gift, Read more

Today our colleague Nico surprised us with these fantastic be2cookies.
Everyone loves cookies, but when they come in special shapes like this, they are extra-special. So our Christmas gift idea today is to give unusual christmas cookies. You could spell out a message or the name of the person receiving the gift with these ABC-cookie cutters, give a music fan an edible score, make the football fan in your life jump for joy or, if you prefer to keep things christmassy, give a bunch of christmas story shapes.
Christmas Gift Calendar: Designer Underwear
24 days, 24 Christmas gifts: Perfect Christmas gift ideas and suggestions by the be2 team, daily December 1st – 24th 2009.
Underwear is a classic Christmas present that men give their wives or girlfriends. In December every other billboard seems to show a smiling lingerie model suggesting women crave nothing more than sexy underwear for Christmas. We won’t even speculate how much of that is just a projection of men’s Christmas wishes. We’ll just say that underwear isn’t the fail-safe Christmas present it’s made out to be.
Blunders are caused at best by the difference in men’s taste in sexy underwear as opposed to women’s preference for something comfortable and stylish, at worst by their inability to buy the correct size, a severe violation of body diplomacy. It doesn’t help that really beautiful designer underwear is expensive, while the cheap stuff isn’t special enough to qualify as a Christmas present. At least the latter dilemma is solved this Christmas – by the dreamy underwear collection by Sonia Rykiel for H&M. Fabulous designer underwear at high street prices, in shops today!
In order to avoid the other unnecessary blunders: before you go shopping, take a peek at the underwear drawer of the woman you are buying for and see what she usually wears – sporty or sexy? underwired bras? thongs or shorts? plain or playful? cotton or silk? Finally, take a note of the correct size, then head for H&M and you can’t go far wrong!
