How fabulous is this vase? I absolutely LOVE it. I’d be thrilled if someone were to give it to me as a gift. And I just might buy one for myself.
Ashton Sutton Glass 66031-35 Aqua Acid Milk Jar Blown Glass Vase 
Handmade. Measures approximately 11 inches high with a 3 1/2 inch diameter. $27.95 at Brandsplace.com over 100,000 brand name items at discount prices. 
.
At this price it might not be a bad idea to order several and have them on hand for future gifting needs. A little planning makes life (and gifting) so much easier!

Looking for an alternative to sending flowers or a blooming plant? How about the gift of bonsai?
Nothing beats the zen simplicity and elegance of a bonsai tree. Not only is it a gift that’s sure to last for years (many bonsai trees are decades old by the time we buy them) – it’s a gift that could very well grow into a hobby or a zen obsession.
A great option for just about any gifting occasion.

Next time you’re stumped for a gift idea, consider the gift of a tree in the Amazon rain forest.
That’s right. A real tree in the rain forest. With Rainforest Forever, you can plant a tree in the heart of the Amazon in honor on anyone you choose. Each tree includes personalized ownership documents and the exact GPS coordinates of the planting location. The gift of a tree is both optimistic and altruistic – the symbol of a greener future and a greener planet. A wonderful gift for many occasions, and a particularly thoughtful thank you. Also a fitting way to pay tribute to a loved one at times of sympathy and condolence.

I didn’t order my bag yet because I simply cannot choose only one. I’m so in love with so many of the bags that I just had to post a few more of my favorites.
First up is the Mt. Fuji Super Cyclone 
. Crafted from two designer license plates wrapped around 6-inch chrome hubcaps. There’s also a recycled rubber handle and a cool recycled rubber/bottlecap snap closure. Inside, it’s felt lined, and an includes an elastic lipstick for maximum convenience. Retail price is $79.
I’m also loving this Elvis Pop Art FenderFlair 
. Two license plates and unique chrome teardrop shaped ends. Crystallized twist-knob closure. Hundreds of Swarovski Crystals. 21″ leather strap. Fully-lined velvet interior with velvet pocket. Limited edition. Includes signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Love the Peter Max vibe! At $319 it’s among the most expensive bags they sell, but well worth the price.
The Koi Fish Tattoo CycloneFlair ($180) takes tattoo art to a whole new level! Hand adorned with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. Metal chain. Pave crystal bottle cap closure and special RoadFlair “inspection sticker” add to the allure. Each CycloneFlair arrives with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.
And so many more from which to choose. Take 10% Off EVERYTHING from Littlearth! Use exclusive Coupon Code PURSE at Checkout! Click Here

If you’re looking for a fun and memorable baby gift, I love the idea of teeny-tiny team jerseys and gear. A gift like this is especially perfect for a new addition a family of die hard fans, but it’s also a fun way to pay tribute to the new parents’ college days or home towns.
And for all those new grandparents, aunts and uncles – this is a great way to start the indoctrination early, especially if there’s a little intra-family fan rivalry to be nurtured!

Got a sushi addict on your gift list this year? You know the type. Out for sushi at least once a week. Sushi delivery at least twice. Maybe even a quick pick up order on the way home from work or the gym.
Don’t fight their passion – indulge it. A saki set, perhaps some lacquered chop sticks or a bento box. Maybe a few small china dishes or a covered miso bowl. You’ll find all these and much more at KKDiscount: Oriental SuperStore. Loads of lovely and elegant gift ideas for far less than you’d pay elsewhere. You could easily but together a lovely gift for your sush loving friend for $40 or less. I bought a few things on my last trip to Hong Kong and I was quite disappointed to come home and discover the same items here at lower prices. And a much bigger selection, by the way. Live and learn. Orders over $50 ship free.

If you’re shopping for one of those people who really does have everything, you know how hard it can be. Think outside the box year and inside the pages. Instead of adding to the ‘everything’ that he or she already has, pay tribute to it (or some part of it, anyway) with a beautiful book. Collectors always enjoy unusual books and catalogs featuring the objects of their desire – and a topical book always shows that you’ve put a lot of personal thought into your gift.
If there’s a brand new book that’s appropriate, that’s great. But if there isn’t – no worries. Find something unusual and out of print – your gift will have much more meaning. For some people, an older and more obscure book could be a better choice. A used book is just fine if it’s older and out of print and that’s all you can find. Again, sometimes even better. Be specific. Find something that pays homage to what the recipient loves most. Maybe that book from the Guggenheim exhibit The Art of the Motorcycle for a Harley Davidson enthusiast. Or the catalog from the Met’s Ferragamo show, The Art of the Shoe, for a Manolo addict. How about a book of historical photos of their home town or alma mater? Or a photo history of the die-hard fan’s beloved team. Get the idea?

Whether you’re looking for holiday decorations for your own home or shopping for stocking stuffers and fun little hostess gifts for the holidays, definitely take a moment to check out the ornaments and holiday decor at the Acacia Catalog
. You’ll find handmade works from artisans around the world. I’m particularly fond of the hand knit ornaments below. Hand-knit in Nepal by women who work for a company committed to their welfare, each is 100% Himalayan wool with hand embroidery. Set of six includes a star, tree, stocking, hat, mitten, and roundel. Hang them on your tree, mantel, or wreath and know you’re helping others earn a decent wage, educate their children, and keep their families healthy.
Here’s a great idea for a holiday party: Attach name tags to artful ornaments and use them as both table decorations and party favors. You’ll add a festive splash of color to your holiday tabletop and your guests will have a lovely keepsake to remember all the fun. You can even attach decorative name tags and use the ornaments as place cards.
