November 24th, 2009 | Hannah deBree | Entertainment
The internet is already abuzz with (2009) best of lists and holiday gift guides. April and I decided to throw our giftie picks into the mix…
HANNAH’S PICKS
Sarah Utter’s Only Love Can Break Your Heart. Wonderfully typographic, and so true.
Via Jen Bekman
$15
On a recent trip to New People, I discovered the perfect stocking stuffer: MT Japanese masking tape. Get one for yourself so that all of your packages will be uniquely wrapped.
On Etsy
Set of 5 for $18
The Sartorialist (Penguin) by Scott Schuman (also known as the love interest of French blogger Garance Doré). The inspiration to put your fashion maven hat on everyday.
$25
Just genius. Deadwood, the Complete Series. Ian McShane slays me, seriously.
$97.49
Very cute retro-patterned glasses from IKEA.
$5.99 for a pack of 6
Turquoise Chopper Headphones at Urban Outfitters. Making listening to tunes at work fun.
$70
Über lovely Eames Rocking Chair to dress up the old abode.
$475.00
APRIL’S PICKS
Dusty Groove: I have never been to this store, only bought from their site, but they have some seriously great music. I have never regretted anything that I bought from them. I’m sending gift certificates to far-flung friends who I am not sure of what they already have in their collection.
Some picks:
Funk Soul Sisters: this collection of some awesome ladies layin’ down seriously funky tracks. Have you ever heard Spanky Wilson’s version of “Sunshine of Your Love”? Get this just for that alone.
A Certain Ratio: Funk meets Punk in Manchester, England. You may recognize their excellent cover of “Shack Up.”
Magazine Subscriptions
I love to read magazines and what is better than a gift that arrives fresh and new each month?
Bust: my kind of feminism: strong, crafty, girlie, smart, creative, and sexy.
Harper’s: a great way to learn about our world no matter if you have 10 minutes or an hour to read.
Jewelry
Ever walk through a mall and stop to look in the jewelry store window and wonder, “Who wears that stuff?” If you like unusual, artisan jewelry, try Robert Redford’s Sundance catalog. Well-made, unique pieces.
My pick for my mom who loves Southwest style:
Expansive Turquoise Ring
For my Lady Friends
Holly GoNightly Sleep Mask: Just like Audrey Hepburn!
Pacifica candles, soaps and perfumes
These natural scents are captivating and pleasant without all the chemicals in commercial products.
For Paul, my super-cool, super-geek friend:
Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener
What I Asked for…
I am a big Edward Gorey fan, so I wanted this lithograph from his Gashlycrumb Tinies from the Signal catalog.
Cheers!
