Great..great job compiling terrific gifts. Heck so much to ask for let alone give away! Happy December to you~
DWR should thank you for pointing out that they do sell things within my reach! I don’t know who I will decide to give the bird wind chimes to, but I am buying them all anyways!
I was just looking at that Squirrel nutcracker yesterday thinking, now who could I give this too….
great list – thank you!
@ stella:
This is about the only thing DWR sells that would be in my reach! I love that they’re in sets of three — buying a single roll online seemed silly, and a set of a dozen too much. I’m going to check out the DWR near me this week!
Thank you so much for mentioning my studio’s Midwest seed bombs! They’re actually available through several different retailers, and also in our Etsy shop.
Anyway, this is a very beautifully curated selection of gift items, and we’re proud to have been included!
oh my! I want EVERYTHING on here!
The one down fall to shopping early for gifts is that I am always done by the time these list come out, though it does give me a great idea about what I should ask for.
here’s a link to notcot’s holiday coupon book. they have a coupon for free shipping from baggu (I bought a few for me and a few as gifts!), plus coupon codes for a ton of other amazing shops!

this is a fabulous guide for under $25. I’m sold on the silhouette votive!
fantastic compilation without breaking the bank!
Thank you for doing an under $25 guide…there are so many great things on this list that I am bookmarking for my family and Secret Santa!
some of these gifts are pretty unique, heehee. my favorite is the molded hand…great for jewelry and to play pranks.
Brilliant choices!!! You make our shopping easy……and oh so stylish!
Those Kate Spade cards are the perfect stocking stuffer for my go*fish playing kiddos. so cute.
Ninja star push pins are cheaper (9.99 vs. 19.00) from thinkgeek. They’re currently out of stock, but considering that they cost about half as much as the ones linked to here it might be worth waiting for thinkgeek to restock.

What a great selection!
It’s great to see that you included some eco-friendly gifts like the baggu bag, the birdcage stamp set, the organic water tote bag and the apple tea towel. The baby baggu bags are also great for wrapping gifts to save paper during the holidays.
so in love with those sky planters. What a fantastic idea.
I’m supposed to find my aunt a bird feeder, price range under $30. So I kept checking all morning for this list, on the offchance you’d somehow list a really cool looking birdfeeder…. and you did! Wonderful!
Oh I think I want EVERYTHING on your list for myself!! ;)
my favourite part of christmas is gift guides and yours are the best hands down! xxx
so many great ideas… Have to look in detail for I’m still about 15 gifts short ^^
those notebooks are delicious!
The Mariebelle Hot Chocolate Lunch Box is so cute. I love those retro-style lunchboxes… I would put it on a shelf if I received that as a gift.
I noticed you featured the moustache pencils. I love them too! For the moustache lover, there are so many moustache products. I wrote a post about it (in honour of Movember) a couple of weeks ago. There’s moustache jewelry, cufflinks, mugs and more. Who knew?!

Do we really need more *things*?
I love all things lovely in one place…thank you for making my shopping easier :)
Wow! Thanks for all of the great ideas…
Oh lord….I want all this stuff. I should just send your guides as my Christmas lists.
Love your content, and love this post! HUZZAH!
Amazing gift guides this year, as usual. And those GORGEOUS herring tea towels sold out pretty darn fast!
Love, love, love, love the list!
But poo! The mermaid bottle opener is no longer on the Fishs Eddy site.

Oh my gosh, the light switch rack is great! Never seen anything like that, what a clever idea!
great collection! when you don’t have the $$ you have to get creative….thanks!
Whoa! I just snagged that squirrel nutcracker just 2 days ago at the local thrift store for $6! I don’t know who was crazy enough to let go of that beauty…but what a sucker!
I have never seen anything like the Sky Planter….what a neat idea and a fantastic gift. Everything you’ve presented is so fun and creative….thanks for sharing!
