Today's Prescription: Holiday gifts for the Pittsburgh Steelers fan on your list!

For the faithful fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, we have some fantastic items this holiday season. For the entertainer who wants to have a gang over to cheer on their favorite team, check out our Steelers pitcher & pint glass set or the Steelers melamine serving tray. For the "green" fan, we carry a 34 ounce aluminum water bottle that sports the team logo. We even have the perfect gift for the mini-fan, a Steelers Five Piece Dinnerware Set. Have a tween or teen fan on your list? We've got a magnetic dartboard, paddle ball game, or an NFL rivalry Steelers vs Browns chess set!

Perfect for someone's office or library, a commemorative, limited edition Waterford helmet will commemorate the Steelers Super Bowl XLIII win!

We have even more sports items available on our website and in our store.

Today's Prescription: Gifts for the holiday hostess!

Do you know someone that just loves to entertain guests during the Christmas season? If so, we've got an affordable collection from Mud Pie perfect for the hostess on your list. The ceramic Christmas tree collection features colors of green, red and white. Some pieces are adorned with little fabric ribbon details. If you just need a small gift, check out square Tree dessert or appetizer plates featuring a red and white stripe background. They are sold individually so you can buy as few or as many as you want to. As a more substantial gift, add the Tree Sectional Server or candy striped tray.

While you are checking out the Mud Pie holiday collection, don't miss fun items like the "wine belts", "beer belts" or ball and rope dog toys.
