Blistex ($.99): Because my lips are chapped and it is winter time. This is a great stocking stuffer. No need to say more.
Anne Taintor Note Mousepad ($9.99): It's a mousepad! It's a notepad! This multipurpose 50-page pad would bring a little comic relief to my desk at work. Ah, a combination of my two favorite things: vintage and sarcasm.
El Paso Quesadilla Maker ($19.29): Who doesn’t love a quesadilla? Perfect for those on-the-go dinners. The El Paso Quesadilla Maker lets you make your favorite quesadillas at home. Nonstick plates and a built-in drip reservoir makes cooking and cleaning easier. I’ll take mine with chicken and cheese, thanks. Guacamole and sour cream on the side, if you please.
Black Leather Lambskin Journal ($25.00): This journal has 160 blank heavy weight ivory pages and was made with black lambskin leather and marbled fabric on the inside cover. If you know me, you know I love to write. My blog takes care of scratching a lot of that itch, but there are some things you just can’t put on your blog for everyone to see. In times such as those, one needs a journal. Enter exhibit A: the black leather lambskin journal.
The Recycled Broken Plate Blue Bird Ring ($30.00): This ring is made from an actual recycled broken plate. Due to my love of birds and newfound obsession with Etsy.com, this made the list at only $30.00.
The Guest Room Shabby Chic Home Décor Sign ($39.95): From The Back Porch Shop on Etsy, this shabby chic sign has beautiful script lettering in aged black ink on a chipped ivory background. A perfect addition to our guest bedroom at home, another Etsy home-made creation made the list at just under $40.00. I always enjoy a sentimental gift that I can use to decorate my home with…any decorative item will do!
Super Mario Brothers for Wii ($45.00): We all remember Super Mario Bros. on the ancient Nintendo. Now, they’ve made this beautiful game for Wii!!
The Mustard Seed Bedside Shelf ($49.00): Another Etsy creation, this hand-made shelf will hold favorite books, keys, purse and wallet. At just under $50.00, the roof ridge will also keep my current book on the correct page!
Mario Kart for Wii with Wii Wheel ($49.99): Just imagine this: I’m sitting on the couch with a wheel in my hands driving through a Wii Race Course (I’m the Princess of course). I look to my left. There’s Becky with a wheel in her hands (She’s Mario). And Jay with a wheel in his hands (Luigi). And mom (Yoshi). And dad (Toad). We’re ALL playing Mario Kart on the Wii at the SAME TIME. Okay, back to reality. With a few more wheels and this game CD, that dream could be possible. I’ll let you sleep on that one.
SHARK Super Garment Steamer ($49.99): Excuse me, but who doesn’t need a garment steamer? Anyone? Yes, that’s what I thought. This would be particularly nice in my home due to the fact that I don’t own an iron.
I know that with only two and a half days before Christmas, this list might be a little overdue, but I know there are still many out there still shopping for their loved ones…like *cough*my fiancé*cough*.
At any rate, maybe this list will open your eyes to some new ideas for someone you’re still buying for. For example, shop in untraditional places, like Etsy or an antique shop…I guarantee you, they’ll be a lot less crowded than Target or Wal-Mart. Or maybe go for a traditional gift, like a journal or picture frame. Then again, there are always the wacky fun gifts, like the quesadilla maker. Or maybe give a sentimental gift: a sign for a house or homemade mailbox numbers.
Happy shopping!

I'm not sure I'd drop $20 on a quesadilla maker, but I do have a skillet you're welcome to borrow that probably works just as well.
Not to brag, but we have the Mario Cart with the steering wheels. It's awesome. Hope there's one under your tree!
