All I want for Christmas... Secret Stash

Sometimes you come across an item screaming to be given as a gift.  Something you know they will just love.   

These are a few of those items.  

1. Can they remember they parred 3 West a decade ago, and proceed to tell you about each shot?  These Vintage Posters will definitely spark fond memories of past rounds, and corresponding swing thoughts. 

2. For the person that has the latest in everything... a spot to recharge.    

3. Sneakers have long had a cult following.  Now more than ever the sneaker is in the spotlight.  Test your sneaker-heads knowledge the latest tome from Sneaker Freaker.

All I want for Christmas... Homebody

 For the one that is happier at home.

Cutlery from Matilda Goad.  Each set is made of of mixed hues, for endless tabletop mixing and matching.

Tortoise tumblers.  Who cares what is inside, when the glass is this chic.

An end table you say? Why not! Charming rattan trompe l'oeil is always welcome under the tree.

Even if it is reheating take-out, Staub is the ultimate in stovetop decor.  

All I want for Christmas... Him

Everyone always things men are the hardest to shop for.  I beg to differ.   

       

For the analog man... a pen.  

Even though he doesn't want to, he will look good while shoveling the walkway.

Might seem like a gag-gift, but for anyone prone to loosing electricity, a life-line.  

A needlepoint belt is always a crowd-pleaser.  

 

All I want for Christmas... Giving

 Christmas is about giving, including those you don't know. 

  

TIBAL, a very entertaining influencer on Instagram, has used her platform to benefit Title 1 classrooms.   Teachers submitted Amazon wishlists and very kind strangers are clearing them one by one.   Things that seem synonymous with a classroom - pencils, story books, hand sanitizer, are in need. 

Also, find a local toy drive.  Everyone should have something exciting to open on Christmas.

Some ideas for children older than 7 years old, they are often the harder age group for gifts.

These wireless headphones are under $20, and have good reviews!

Insulated bottles also under $20, and come in fun colors.

A pretty pink jewelry box, for $25.
