* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

So you need a unique gift to give your best friend this Christmas and you just don't want to get her oh the regular mundane stuff from your local retail store. You drum your fingers on your desk, bite a few nails off and start to fret....hmmm...maybe you should get that mundane gift after all....but wait....how about you click over to the Red Envelope site and see if maybe...just maybe...you might find something that catches your eye.

Wow!! ....I heard you gasp just under your breath....(giggle). Now I see you adding to your list...name after name and ...once again you have your list made up.

Your new plan of action is to re-shop and return all the stuff you picked up as gifts on Black Friday.....oh yeah, this stuff looks way classier!

A grilling tool kit for Dad


A digital brag book for Mom (you know how she loves to show anyone who crosses her path the pictures of all the grand kids!)


Chocolate covered oreos for your sister in college (mmmmm...maybe you should order another one just for you!)


A Handprint frame for your brother's family (you've already bought stuff for the kids from the toy store)


and for your best friend of over 15 years, this exquisite Circle of Friends vase

What a beautiful symbol of the years spent in laughter, tears, pranks, adventure and fun.

Each brushed nickel finished figure in the circle has a tiny heart on its chest and the figures encircle a glass vase standing 8.25" tall. (The glass vase is not very long so long stemmed flowers would need to be clipped at the ends to fit appropriately within.)

You can even engrave a tiny message or your BFF's name as long as the text stays within 15 characters for a maximum of 2 lines.

The Circle of Friends vase costs 49.95 US$ (engraving a message would cost an additional 3.95 US$) and could even be delivered carefully packaged to your friend's doorstep with a personalized note from you.

Perfect....Christmas shopping done!


* The Red Envelope portfolio of gifts include the unique and the classy. Quality in each product is assured and what makes gift giving through this site more special, is the ability to personalize or monogram your gifts to add that 'extra something' to the overall presentation.*
