Finding the best stuff out there …. gifts, accessories, little luxuries, big ideas with some kick, some snap and a dash of sass.

Simply stunning. What more can I say? Well plenty, naturally. You will love this piece from White Forest Pottery. Everything Nancy does is pristine and pure and just drop-dead gorgeous. I have a crush on all of her things, I really do. You will, too… once you start, you just can’t stop. You’ve been warned.

The most dazzling star struck candle is here.

Oh! You should peek at the BobbiePen Gift Guide for yet another perfect gift idea from Nancy!

I’m just laughing too hard to speak …. I need to take a moment to compose myself. Nope, can’t do it; ain’t gonna to happen … but can you really blame me?!?

Get ready for the holidays right here if you don’t fall down laughing first.

Oh, Joy!,
Bobbie.

Thank God there are holiday cards that don’t have glitter and gee gaws and sappy sentiments all over them. Cards that don’t need to scream but get the point across all quiet and sneaky-like, with a little bit of attitude to boot. They cut through the clutter and then wink at you.

All cards are letterpress and use 100% post-consumer recycled paper and non-toxic inks for printing. That means you’ll sleep better at night.

The coolest holiday cards are here.

Finding all the great stuff you need in your life, like trendy accessories, holiday cards, classically cool gifts and little luxuries that will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Cute little critters. These speak to me. I have no clue what they’re saying, but they’re talking … oh, they’re talking. What possesses a possessed woman to go all mooshy over cuteness?

Maybe it’s the story of Bholu. A fair trade company based in India, Bholu employs women artisans that use their traditional skills to produce these cutie patooties. Proceeds go back to the women, to the community and to educational programs so children finally get to be children.

And the cutie patooties have names! Marjorie the Duck, Ignatious the Critter, Frederick the Elephant, Quinton the Giraffe and Abraham the Dinosaur.

The whole Bholu critter range is here.

Hope springs eternal on the White Christmas thing. These wooden snowflakes kind of help with that thought … for your tree, as gift packaging, to glitter or gild or leave naked. At $5/each, that’s a real joy, don’t you think?

Get ready for the holidays right here.

Oh, Joy!,
Bobbie.

No need to gnash your teeth …. Unless you can’t decide on the 3 different color combos it comes in. No tearing of hair, either. Very hip, very cool, and of course it would be coming from Jutta Neumann, who is eternally hip and forever cool. It’s screaming to be on your wrist, and quite frankly, you need a present.

Even uptown girls need some downtown cred every now and then.
The leather bracelet of your dreams, right here.

With a wink and a nod to traditional wreaths, this super mod version is super fab and groovy, baby. Perfect for those of you that are seasonally-challenged, and the best part is that a) it doesn’t shed those pesky pine needles, and b) you don’t have to dump it once the holidays are over. 

They say that it is really sings as a centerpiece with the clouds surrounding pillar candles. And you know, ‘they’ are never wrong.

The best mod-ish wreath I’ve ever seen and I’m not kidding, here.

 Joy gifts are stocking stuffers, Secret Santa gifts, hostess gifts, pick-up gifts to make the whole enchilada come together nice and neat; just-because gifts, house gifts, glad-you’re-here gifts, glad-I-know-you gifts.  Gifts that are small-ish. Sometimes they’re silly, sometimes precious; it’s all about the Ah-Ha Moment of finding the great little get.

So. Each and every Friday until we all fall down from holiday exhaustion, I’ll do a Joy Gift Friday. I’ll be sending you some nifty gifty things to cut through the chaos and the insanity that comes with the season.

Don’t panic, help is on the way. No need to self-medicate this year to get through it all. Oh, joy!

There, I said it. Now you know. But once you know what he does, you’ll be swooning, too … or at least your heart will flutter a bit. One of my favorite shops in New York, and you just have to stop in. He’ll be there all nice and helpful and cute.

Here’s the deal → he finds all of these really old, archival documents and produces plates, pencil trays, paperweights, coasters, tchotke holders and all that out of them. Perfect gifts … and there are some insane series for your wall, too, that are actually multiple plates. Start collecting now, I say, or start a collection for someone else!

John Derian, here.
