I know. You’re still trying to get the glitter from your Halloween costume out of your eyebrows, and here I am, hitting you with holiday nonsense. But we now shop in a truly global marketplace, and shipping time can be upward of 6 weeks, so I figured we’d better get started. And anyway, nothing gets glitter out of eyebrows but time, so you may as well check this out while you wait.
In my gift guides, I usually categorize recipients by fairly general categories; fashionistas, artists, foodies, musicians, executives, etc. But this time, I thought I’d try and define just the right person for each of these very special gifts. They’re just little things, all under $60, and some no more than stocking stuffers. But modest though they are, I think they’d make a big impact if given to the just right person.
For example, if you’re waiting for the holidays to ask your beloved to move in with you, I think this would really help you make your case! And what artist wouldn’t love a scarf based on original artwork like this beauty? And if you have a friend in law enforcement who recently had a baby, this would undoubtedly be a cherished gift. Like I said, this year is very specific. Hope you find some of the people on your list here!
Important note: I get no money from these lovely people. I just love their stuff. They don’t know me. We haven’t spoken. I just found their things and went ooh.

Thanks for loving my globe paperweight Laura! It takes me a while to make but it’s worth it 🙂
I’m adding more items to my shop really soon.

I love that paperweight! I can’t imagine how it could possibly make sense to sell it so cheaply, but I do love a bargain!
