Very cute gift idea!

This gorgeous, modern chessboard is just $12...I'm seriously having a hard time believing it. Would make a great gift for both strategy and design lovers.

Somebody please send me these for Christmas! I've heard raves and want to try them, but could never justify buying them for myself. I'd share, I promise!

For some reason, all of my friends are talking about the Pancake Puff, either because they want one or are giving one as a gift. Seems like one of those things you would never use...but I tried these pancake puffs in Copenhagen -- they're called aeblskiver in Denmark -- and they were delicious. So I can kind of see the appeal.

With winter approaching, every guy could use a warm, rugged, durable chamois shirt that is masculine, yet touchably soft. With a sale price of $14.99, you can afford to buy one for all of the men in your life! And bonus for you: when your man wears it, he'll look less desk jockey and more Alaskan fisherman. Which is never a bad thing.

This is the only candle I've ever found that actually smells like a christmas tree. Aunt Sadie's makes a variety of fun candles-in-a-can, and they're all divine. Would make a great hostess gift as you're making the rounds of holiday parties.

If you're attending a holiday celebration hosted by a pet owner, it's always nice to bring along a gift for the four-legged members of the household. After all, you're crashing in their pad and taking up their favorite corner of the sofa. These dog treats look like fancy pies, and might just make up for cramping Fido's style for a few days.

Another cute tea cozy from etsy.
