Gift Ideas Part 1 - Stocking Stuffers


Scottie Dog candles? I know so many dog lovers that will put these on display & never light them because they'll love them so much.

Crystallized business card holder. Or, use it to hold ID, credit cards & a little cash for an evening out.
This is the best nail polish I have come across. Besides the obvious needs from a nail polish (ie: won't chip, etc) this stuff is actually Vegan & safe for pregnant women to use. Shouldn't everything be safe regardless of whether or not your preggers? Oh well, either way - the stuff is great.
These little soy candles burn for 18 hours & it is tiny! Cute, smells yummy & perfect stocking size.
Around here we love anything pink. Even better when it smells delicious.

Gift Ideas

The holidays are coming fast & lately we have had a lot of shoppers looking for special birthday gifts for friends & family that have birthdays around the holidays. One of my close girlfriends has her birthday of Valentine's Day & has always said that she feels like she gets robbed a little bit, not having 2 separate days to celebrate. So, I can understand the importance of wanting to make sure someone's birthday around the holidays is made just as special as all of the other festivities surrounding it. So, long story short - I thought I'd put together some good gift ideas that are fun & special for people who have birthdays too close to the holidays.


Here are some things that I love:


This room diffuser is made by the women of Archipelago, it has a clean, citrus-y scent that I just love. The Ribbons of Love diffuser has a portion of its proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research - which makes it even better!




This Hawaiian Ruby Guava Gift Set is so perfect & so cute. It has everything you need - a solid perfume, lotion, a candle & matching matches! It smells divine & is made of great natural ingredients.




This 4-leaf clover necklace is a cute gift of a little luck for someone special. Made of a vintage brass 4-leaf clover with semi-precious stone accents - it is a perfect gift of understated elegance.

Guy Gift Ideas

I have a lot of customers that struggle with buying gifts for guys. I know how it is, men are tough. There are only so many ties & wallets you can buy for a guy.
Don't stress, I have your answer:

The Guy Friend:
Seriously, what guy couldn't use a flask?

The Boyfriend/Husband:

What says "honey we need a romantic getaway" better than a travel case?

The Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Co-Worker:
Photo albums can be 'girlie', but one with a vintage camera on the cover is definately super 'manly'.


The Boss Man:
Like photo albums, candles can be 'girlie'. But not this one. Give it to the boss. He'll put it on his desk & never take it home because it looks good & smells good. He'll be constantly reminded of you & your thoughtful gift. Maybe you'll even get a raise!Dad:
This leather valet is the perfect catch-all for coins, wallet, cell phone & all that extra stuff that he empties out of his pockets at the end of the day.

Mom Gifts


Sometimes I have a hard time shopping for my mom. She has everything she needs, and when she wants something, she goes and gets it. So what do I get for her?
I have had these candles by Archipelago for a while now. I think they are pretty, they are really popular with my customers and they smell great. I realized today that my mom keeps going over to the display & picking them up, smelling them, looking at the different designs & putting them back. Hello!?!? She obviously wants one & hasn't decided to get one, or decided on a scent. So this something that I can get mom for Christmas. Something she doesn't have, I know she wants, and hasn't bought for herself. Yay!
And - even better, that pretty jewel on the top - it's a removable brooch! So it is a 2 in 1.
love it!
