Christmas Gift Ideas (for anyone!)

There are only 12 days of Christmas shopping left and every day counts.  I hope I’ve helped you with my gift ideas for her, for him, and for the fam, but if not there are many gender-neutral gifts for that special someone.  Heed the list below for great gifting success this holiday season!

Pointing bookmark: I don’t have much tolerance for reading books these days, but I’d use this bookmark if I did.  In the past, I’d fold the corner of the page all the way to the paragraph I was reading.  In hindsight, that probably wasn’t good for the book – at least the creators of this bookmark must think so. Use the finger to keep track of the last line you read.  Available here.

Golden Ticket iPhone Case: Everyone loves Willy Wonka!  Whenever Doug or I find something we’ve been looking for we bust into the “I’ve got the golden ticket” song.  With this phone case you can actually have a beautiful golden ticket and a golden day every day.  Available here.


Tea Tumbler: Steep your tea on the go with the removable strainer in this glass mug.  Definitely handy for late-running mornings. (Oooh – It’s pretty, too.)  Available here.

Air Plant: These cute little plants don’t root in soil!  If indoors, they need to be submerged in water for 2-3 hours every two weeks.  That’s easy enough for office living! Available here.

Lunch Bag: A subtle message can go a long way in the office environment.  Protect your grub from food-prowling co-workers by purchasing here.


Fish Eye Camera: See the world differently!  Capture that Kodak moment with this fish eye lens camera, which produces circular pictures from its 170 degree view.  Available here.


Car Seat Warmer: Give a warm tush this Christmas!  There’s no need to buy a new car just to get heated seats.  Plug into your cigarette lighter and heat your bottom and back with 60 watts of warmth.  Available here.

Unique Christmas Gifts for Her

It’s easier to buy gifts for women than it is for men. Every woman loves lotion from Bath and Body Works or a sweet-smelling candle.  But we can do better!  These items caught my eye as creative alternatives to cookie-cutter gifts for women.

Parakeet Clutch: This parakeet clutch puts a bottle of fragrant lotion to shame.  Who doesn’t love the cheerful yellow and the polka dot lining?   Tweet the old fashioned way! Available here.

Coin Purse: If she prefers to carry her goods in a smaller vessel – or needs somewhere to stash her money for the meter – look no further than this sassy coin purse. Available here.

Pill box with a ‘tude: If you can’t get enough vintage sass, encourage her to take her meds with this pill box.  Available here.

Lip smudge: This Etsy lipstick was featured on HGTV for a reason: it’s smokin’!  The mix includes Macadamia Nut Oil, Sustainable Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sustainable Palm Kernel Oil, and Beeswax, among others.  Mmmmm. I don’t know what all of those things are but it sounds delicious.  Far more creative than the lip gloss in the Victoria Secret line.  Available here.

Fake tattoo: I’ve seen a lot of women in mock-tattoo shirts lately (and not just among my clientele).  For that woman on the edge of a life-long decision, encourage here to start with a disposable option. Nylons available here.

Tea light holder: I’m in a “I-love-anything-white-ceramic” phase and I don’t think I’m the only one.  Opt for this tealight candle instead of a predictable scented jar.  Available here.
