OK, so I haven’t posted in forever. I sort of ran out of steam and then I had a baby, and now I’m super busy with three kiddos under the age of 4. I’m not saying I’m coming back full steam ahead here. I just really wanted to share some great things I’ve seen around lately. So, in no particular order, here are some things I love right now, that might just be a great gift idea for you.

The Vintage Pearl is a wonderful little shop with handmade personalized handstamped silver jewelry.   As they say, “we create unique handstamped jewelry that is simple, sentimental, and meaningful.  And may I add, beautiful?  Check out their stuff. I think you’ll be glad you did.

The Fine Art of Family….oh how I am in LOVE with these lockets!  I mean some serious LOVE!  They are so beautiful and heirloom quality.  I would love to have one to wear and pass on to my daughter one day.

Bean Canteens are another one of my current faves, but I do have to say that I’m not in love with them!  I love a good, safe water bottle that is BPA free! I was so excited to learn that it was a Klean Kanteen because they are one of the best!

If you’re looking for a cute and warm hat for this winter, then head over to The Portland Beanie Company.  I picked up on of these in tan, with a pink flower for my newborn and it was just darling!  Here is her sweet picture.

And finally, if you’re trying to buy one of the seasons really hot items like a Zhu Zhu Pet or a Mindflex Game, I’ve found an awesome tool to help you get just want you want if you’re having trouble finding it in stock.  The AZ Grabber is just great.  It only works for Amazon, but it alerts you to when that hard-to-get-your-hands-on item is back in stock.  It checks the stock every 5 seconds and lets you know when you better get back on the computer and buy it quick!  There is a great tutorial on the site that will tell you exactly how it works.  Try it out and let me know what you think!

That’s all for now.  Hope I helped you in some way with you holiday gift buying, or at least told you something you didn’t already know.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving next week!
