The Best GiftGive her the gift of relaxation this Christmas by preparing a surprise breakfast in bed. If your kitchen skills are lacking, she'll even appreciate a properly presented bowl of cereal or a few store bought pastries. It's the thought that counts and this thoughtful quiche recipe idea will score you a few points for sure.
Ladies, if you are reading this, step away but feel free to forward to the man in your life. This one is for the guys. After several long weeks filled with baking, decorating, shopping and doing all things thoughtful for everyone else, the lady in your life deserves a special treat. Sure, she'd love jewelry or that new handbag she has been eyeing, but what she'll really appreciate is some old fashioned pampering. If you are on a budget, this gift is even better. Get up a little early on Christmas morning and get to work playing Santa. Breakfast in bed, complete with a mimosa or two, will not only show her how much you appreciate all she has done to make the holidays brighter, but it will also save you one trip to the mall.
No need to get crazy with a four course meal -- all the extra noise may wake her up. Prepare a quiche, which you can even do the night before, with her favorite ingredients and pop it in the oven. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit and some hot coffee. A little relaxation on Christmas day will be the best gift of all.
