So here are some of my best picks for the season. Happy Shopping!
Robot Alarm Clocks
These would be great for someone who loves retro toys and appreciates anything vintage. The glow in the dark hands make it easy to see at night and there is a battery included. Both are $75.
Nostalgic Tin Collectibles
I absolutely love these! What collector wouldn't agree that these tin vintage toys are awesome. They are totally affordable too. For under $70 you can get both! The rocket ride is my favorite.
Pillars of Heaven Nativity
When I saw this it made me smile. Now I am not a religious person but this would be a great gift for someone who is. Think Grandma or Grandpa for this one. I think its a nice way to modernize the nativity. It may be $100 but this is something that will be treasured for seasons to come.
Cheese Boards
Look out cheese lovers! These cheese boards are modern and fresh and are great to give hosts. The set comes with chalk and two mouse shaped knives and for $70 it's a gift that will never be forgotten. To go a less pricier route get them the mousetrap board. Not only is this little guy cute but it will spark up a conversation at any event. At only $29 it will make you smile too!
Candles to Die For
These are some of coolest and prettiest candles I have found. I love them and I know you will too!
The Beeswax Rock Candles are not only natural 100% beeswax they look like real rocks. A great gift for anyone who loves nature and for only $19 for the set you can get them for everyone!
These Woodland Creature Candles are adorable. Hand painted and finely molded, they come in a set of 4. For $14 you will want to buy them for yourself too!
The Patch NYC Whale Candle is a great gift for any art lover. Made with jasmine, patchouli and basil fragrances and sells for $32. The candles also come with a skull, fedora, owl, stag and pipe.
Plants, Plants and More Plants
For all those who love nature, I do!, you will totally love these. All of them make fantastic gifts and the bonus is they will appreciate them everyday.
The Oasis Garden is nice to get someone who maybe doesn't have the memory or the time to take care of plants. Because they are succulents they don't have to be watered much and they are all packaged up perfect and ready to go. I couldn't believe it was only $39! You also get a 3 day shipping upgrade for free.
Air plants are so friggin cool. That is why I thought these Grapevine Air Plant Gardens were beautiful and unique. The plants were placed in old vine trunks as their new home and hopefully they will sent off to a new home for the holidays. The small one is $29 and the large is $39. Not bad for timeless pieces of history.
The Living EcoSphere is the ultimate gift for those who appreciate life and the Earth. This unusual self sustaining eco - system lives within handblown glass and requires little attention. It contains plants, live shrimp, algae and microorganisms and at $89 you can count on it being a luxury item.
Eco-Friendly Gifts
Everyone has some friends that live green and healthy. These are some great finds they will love, use and really appreciate. Heck, everyone will!
I love these Bobble Water Bottles because they are small enough to fit in your bag, affordable and totally green. They are made from recycled PET, are 100% recyclable & BPA free and come with a filter. Just fill it up and drink! You can't go wrong for $10. They come in blue, pink and green.
These two are perfect for those country lovers who appreciate handmade appeal. Rene Rooster and Daphne Duck are made from recycled French newspapers and cement bags and starch that is locally grown. Made by Haitian artists they represent fair trade and good ole handmade art. Starting from $39 they are worth every penny.
Sold as a set these beautiful Recycled Windshield Wine Glasses are the perfect gift for that wine loving couple. They are handmade in Columbia and have a slight green hue. No one would think they are only $22! But hurry because there is only a limited amount of these available.
Calling all baseball fans! This might be one of the ultimate gifts for that sports fan who appreciates the game. I think it would be great to give to Dads but would be nice for anyone who loves baseball. The Ballpark Pens are made from salvaged stadium seats of historic ballparks and come boxed up with a certificate of authenticity. Prices range from $140 - $260 and you choose from a list of stadiums.
