Christmas Gift Idea List

Check out some of the cool things on my gift-giving list this year.

Double Dish Snack Bowl I know a lot of people that love pistachios.

Spilt Milk Cereal Bowl No comment, just looks awesome.

Food Face Dinner Plate. These are so rad. I am considering tossing all my current plates and just buying a full set of these.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Pouch I'd love to carry an unwrapped PB & J around in my bag, wouldn't you?

Positivity Glass. Because it never hurts to have a little reminder.

Bubble Necklace. This thing is so sick. I may have to gift myself.

Peanut Pin. I like this because I am nuts. And if you get it this year, you might be nuts, too.

Confetti Scarf. Way funky. Would look so rad on anyone's jacket.

Summer Concerts

June 27th: DEVO, Bank of America Pavilion, Boston, MA.
July 13th: Brian Wilson, Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, Hampton, NH.

Gifts I will Probably Be Giving For Christmas.

Will you be the lucky recipient? Or will you just have to pretend that you are stoked on the lame thing I got you instead?

Bacon Salt - This item is appropriate for some many people and occasions. I might use it in place of candy canes this year.
Striped Long Johns - Available in all sizes from baby to full grown man size. Again, a versatile option for a variety of recipients.
Poo Book - At last, a poo translation guide. Say goodbye to awkward internet searches forever!
Change Your Life Book - I have this book and it is really cool. I was planning to waiting until January first to 'start'. I am okay without changing my life until then.
Magazine Subscriptions - The gift that keeps on giving. How about this one or this one? Or maybe you prefer this.
More Bacon - Six months of bacon. A dream come true. At least in my family.
The Cone - I gave a few of these last year. I just might do it again.
Moleskines - I love these. I use them to make lists of things I never end up doing. Large, small, tiny, ruled and unruled, address books and day planners, sketch or watercolor, so many options. See what other people do with them.
Baseball Cufflinks - One can never have too many cufflinks.
