stocking stuffers
if you're anything like me...you're on a constant never-ending quest to find the perfect little gift for everyone in your life. This quest only becomes more complicated, stressful, and pressing when it's the Holiday Season...specifically in the area of the stocking. After all...there are only so many gifts you can fit into a piece of footwear.
But never fear! Here are a batch of things to fix the jones of the coolest on your list.
for the wine lover:
every wine lover has a favorite decanter...and every wine lover knows the pang of sadness that comes the day you peer into said decanter and see that it is beginning to stain from all the marks of your passion for imbibing. From Wine Enthusiast comes a neat little invention...the stainless steel decanter cleaning balls...pour these little round balls into the bottom of your decanter...swirl them around in warm soapy water and watch red stains go away. ($19.95 from Wine Enthusiast.com) Pair this with a 6-month membership to the sterling vineyards wine club and you'll be the most popular gift giver this holiday season.
for the dog lover:the snazzy dog lovers in the crowd should have this neat little product from bon-ton...especially those who spend half their time outside pooper scooping...the bon ton doggie pick up kit, available from the container store and a number of other nifty boutiques, is a sweet little bone-shaped container filled with the perfect sized bags for picking up your pooch's business. Available in red, black, and my favorite--leopard print. ($6.99 from the Container Store)
for the businessman:
this tiny little case is the perfect gift for the type-A personalities in the crowd. A plastic tube with a simple little winding mechanism, the tie-caddy by pinnacle ventures rolls neckties into neat little packages for easy storage and suitcase packaging. Bizzare...but a hit with the business crowd--take my word for it. ($5.95 from Pinnacle Ventures)
for the groovy homebody:
Handmade in Paraguay by local farmers, comes loofah-art, funky vegetable shaped scouring pads--delicate enough to clean vegetables and strong enough to scour even the crustiest of pots and pans. If you purchase from Uncommon Goods, a portion of the proceeds goes to OIPIC, a local non-profit that protects the Paraguayan land, builds schools and provides health care. A good charity for global health to boot. ($22.00 for a set of four from Uncommon Goods)
for the one that likes fun:
The keychain pocket kite--because you never know when you might have the urge to fly a kite. this little thing attaches to your keys, your belt, your dog's collar...and comes complete with a full-sized kite and string--Unfolded size is 18 inches x 12 inches with two 29 inch tails. ($4.99 from gagworks.com
