It’s November 1, time for my annual gift guide! The goal of my gift guides is always to find interesting, unexpected gift ideas that move away from the traditional, the trite, the twee, and the terrible. All year (starting the hours after I’ve posted last year’s guide when I often get my best ideas) I save up the links with ideas for the next year’s list. I then get to rediscover them when I open the draft post. So the items below are sort of new for me, too! This year, everything is under $100, so it’s all pretty budget-friendly, too!
I wish everyone happy perusing and shopping. I hope it gives you some good ideas for this year’s gifts!

Wow!
What a thoughtful list you have created.
There are some very beautiful unique items on this list.
I love that gemstone , thank you for the recommendations!
I always enjoy your gift guides. There are lots of lovely pieces in your selection. I have been angling for a book nook for years. Clearly my hinting needs to become less subtle.
