I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...

Here.

Delta Girl

Love these distressed graphic frames from Etsy shop Delta Girl...

Dishy Dish Towels

Don't you think this would be a fun bridal shower present?

ps. They also have a Jane Austen version.

Map Jewelry

I love this as a gift idea for people who travel or have a particular love for a place in the world, like their hometown, where they served a mission, or their study abroad. (HINT)

Partners & Spade: Awesome Guy Stuff

You know how it can be difficult to find stuff for a guy? Especially if you want something classy, cool, unique, thoughtful, occasion-appropriate and personal. Partners & Spade to the rescue!

The have a seriously classy and clever collection of certified "guy stuff." I found at least 5 things that I wanted to buy for the husband. Even if you don't have a guy to be buying stuff for, you might find a few things to put on your own wish list.

Suprise Ball

My dearest darling friend Michelle lives miles and miles away, but we manage to stay in tolerably good contact by talking on the phone, texting about random inside jokes and sending each other spontaneous and ridiculous mail.

So I used her birthday last week as an excuse to craft and send her silly things - so I made a surprise ball, inspired by this tutorial and it was oh-so-fun coming up with ridiculous items to wrap in yards of crepe paper. I found mariachi confetti, neon strechy dinosaurs and kitten stickers, and then fun just kept going...

Next time you're looking for a clever gift idea and have an evening to spare, this one is alot of fun.

Happy Birthday Mich!

Verabel

Great gift idea alert!

Check out the beautiful, bright and sometimes clever lockets over at the Etsy shop Verabel.

Here are a few of my favorites...

Love, California (pillows!)

My designer friend Amber once told me that if you put the Eiffel Tower on anything, it will sell. I think that the same holds true for anything in the shape of a state, or the island of Manhattan. Well, at least I know that it holds true for me. Because I want one of these.

Out of Print

More holiday gift ideas! (I'm just full of them today.) For reader in your life... Out of Print makes t-shirts featuring book covers from great literature... Thus combining three of my favorite things: clothes and books and unique-ness.

I would not be sad to find Atlas Shrugged and/or The Great Gatsby with my name on it.
