Simone’s Picks for Holiday Giving
A neighbor when I was growing up (who is now a famous New Orleans color consultant) loves to remind me of a story from my childhood. I had gone holiday shopping with my mother, and he asked me if I had found anything I liked. I told him there was a red coat I loved, but we didn’t buy it. My mother said, “But it’s still fun to look, right?” To which I replied, “But it’s more fun to buy!” In tribute to Louie (and the fact that he continues to back me up) here are a few items which should be fun to buy & won’t break the bank!
Festive felted animals are great alone, but better in a group! Make into garlands, tuck in a wreath, or hang as ornaments. 9.99-11.99
Buddha Boards now come in colors- how fun! A great stocking stuffer for all the doodlers in your life. 14.99
Turn a bottle of something into a good laugh…..before it’s ever opened! Wine tag cards 5.99
(Yes, we just so happened to have two gigantic bottles of rum hanging around the store. We used to have an Icee machine, and….well it’s a long story)
We have HARD TO FIND Copic sets priced competitively with the internet! Limited availability, check store locations
Hanji notebooks made with beautiful mulberry paper and screened with stylish graphics. Brand new from Itoya. 18.00-20.00 (worth every penny for a discriminating treat!)
NOT your average Christmas cards! My fave is the Ebenezer Scrooge quote! All of these happen to be letter pressed. 4.00-6.00
Everyone needs a helping hand at the holidays. If you have been in the stores you will know I find anything shaped like a hand irresistible. Use these for cards, place cards, photos, theater tickets, parking tickets, etc. etc. 7.99-15.99
Organize with style using these mod ceramic pots. (also work well for plants or nuts) 9.99
We have TONS of cute things for kids & tweens. This sampling ranges from 4.00-13.99
