Seriously.. Could There BE Too Many Links? Seriously? * Updated 12/7! *

Oh TIS the season.. is it not?! Oh.. it SO is. And in the name of said season, I've comprised a list of just a few things I think are pretty great for your shopping ease, and pleasure I might add.. that might just be things that maybe I want would be good for a few people on your list like me.

I've been looking around with this great idea of actually ordering every single Christmas present for friends and family and having it snazzily delivered right to my door - well, the door of my office - ok.. well, the entryway to my cubicle within my office and I would like to keep each and every site all to myself so you're still surprised when you get your gift, but tho most things are reasonably affordable, if I were to send you all a nice little something, seriously, it might make a more-than-serious dent to oh.. say.. living and maybe feeding Emma.. and she would seriously have an issue with that. And then she wouldn't like you.. and there would be hate mail.. and goodness that all has to be prevented, doesn't it.. So. Here I go sharing all these ideas with you and you may purchase away to all your dearheart's content! So get going!

I opened my Daily Candy this morning and found this cute little site called Wrapables.com with a wonder of things that would be perfect for pretty much everyone who likes cool stuff.. like this! Oh could I possibly love it more? Maybe, but I don't know how.. and tho it might not be so pretty, you could certainly try to wrap it up in some of these pretty type wrapping papers. How cute is the kitty one at the bottom left? Emma gives a couple of paws up. For the cold girl in your life, for the girl who might need a little extra glimmer, for the booky type girl or boy who has everything but snazzy bookends, or maybe the cute girl in need of a bit of shiny green round her neck.

And everyone needs a t-shirt, which is why I love so many of these and might buy a few for me and everyone I know..

And she was the reason I started blogging to begin with so it seems fitting she would of course have one of the cutest online stores ever ever and it's brand spankin' new so you should go there and buy many funny and adorable things.

I didn't find this site myself.. one of the Miss Doxie readers recommended it and I fell instantly in love with all the many, many creative little munchkiny items one might open up on Christmas/Solstice/Hannukah day.. (er.. well.. one of the 8 Hannukah days - oh crap, who am I kidding? I'm not Jewish, obviously..) like these for your chock-full-of-sass friend who may pack a looks-like-everyone-else's bag when she occasionally travels the globe and YOU could help her contribute to her differentyness! Yes! You could! Or one of these little numbers for the little lady in your life who's bringing the sexy back into the kitchen. *Update part* And for some others that might be a tad more frugal I found this and this at Chloe In Style, which are pretty dang cute! And even for Anthropologie, this and this were actually reasonable and stylish! Your diva in the kitchen will thank you!Ooh and THESE for this little butterfly girl I know - and you think I'm kidding.. but seriously.. she will love them! And I know it's silly, but this reminds me there is actually sun in some part of the world even if it's not here for like.. oh.. another zillion and a half months. Oh and more kitcheny stuff cuz aren't these just the cutest little salt and pepper people? And this or this would certainly make those long, boring afternoons at the office a little more Mission Impossible-y, wouldn't they? I think so!

And holy crap but The Spoon Sisters have like 83,003 things you could possibly put in a stocking or wrap up in some poorly wrapped little bit of cheap paper and no one would notice cuz LOOK, the cool thing inside! There are so many to choose from I can't even pick one out that I would like cuz it's all a bit of random love, isn't it?!

Now.. there's no holiday that goes by without giving your girlfriend a bit of pretty smelly lotion or bubbly bits for the bath and I really love the lotions from this company and the buttercream frosting smells oh-so-much like you're lathering on cake batter but uh.. feels way better than that. And the people at Hella Good obviously know women lean to sweets even for bathing in cuz these sound like a dream in a tub don't they? Ginger Ninja?? Ha! That would be me! I think I may rename my site to The Ginger Ninja.. ok. No. But still. Funny!

And I can't make a damn thing but noise, as we all know, and still I want to try the Sublime Stitching's little bit of creativeness all for myself. Cuz don't you need some cute tea towels with these, these, or these on them? You just might (The men are going.. uh.. wtf is a tea towel?)!

And I just have to say, if you haven't ordered some of Read's homemade chocolates, created by the people who bred our dear friend ammogirl, and bred her well in my opinion, ohmygod, you might actually have a head injury cuz they = the moving of your world. Seriously. The peanut butter fudge caramel wraps in milk chocolate - oh yes - might just be my favorite.. or was it the haystacks? Damn, better get both!

*Update part* For the voyeur/blog-to-book lover in your life, I found the Overheard In New York book and the PostSecret book, both reasonably priced on Amazon.com and oh-so intriguing! And if you have some smaller, yet creative and helpful humans in your life, I thought this Dr. Seuss cookbook was pretty frickin cute.

*Update continued* I also discovered some especially awesome things at Urban Outfitters and the sale page has some great little grabs like these, these, and these - that might even go well under a solstice crinoline for one special girl I can think of.. tho I love this, even if it's not exactly overly bargainy, but I feel a pounding heart just the same.

*Still on the update - yes, I can't believe I forgot this stuff* I completely forgot the music peeps, which I am one of so I don't know how I did that - probably cuz I have gotten so many new things from friends that I'm good for a while - HOWEVER, that totally leaves YOU out in the cold! How could I do that? Uh. Think almost 2am the other night.. yes, now you get it. ANYWAY my favorites and the ones I highly recommend for your friends (and maybe yourself, cuz hellooo.. you matter too!) are: the newest Snow Patrol, which I can't say enough good things about, a cute all-of-five-foot-three-force-to-be-reckoned-with, KT Tunstall, something a little different and just lovely sounds of Regina Spektor, or maybe a little electronic but still mellow and different and you may have heard her on the Garden State soundtrack, Imogen Heap, some required listening because she's just that fucking incredible, Fiona Apple, some singer/songwriter everyone-should-listen-to-him, John Mayer, or just completely indulgent cuz he's got a sexy groove, Justin Timberlake, the random and funky Ok Go, which, if you've seen their videos you KNOW how awesome they are, some just seriously groovy and happy-summery-dancey music I discovered when there was sun around here, Sergio Mendez, which is remixed samba with guest artists like the Black Eyed Peas, Erykah Badu, India Arie, and JT even, and completely different is this little British firecracker-of-explicit-lyrics rapper I saw on Letterman the other night and just couldn't help but dig her stuff, Lady Sovereign. Phew - needed a breath cuz there's still the cutester with the darling voice that I love and I'm sure they're overplaying her, but I love her just the same, Corrine Bailey Rae, the new Beck, which is pretty rad, this other sassy Brit that has quite the new kicky sound, Lily Allen, and actually, if you're looking for some holiday music that isn't the same old stuff you heard in the mall, I just got the new Sarah McLachlan, which I think is really charming.

*Update - yes, still going* I'm so copying another Doxie reader, but she linked to her gifty guide in the comments and among one of her very cool links was Mirror Me, which creates self-esteem fashion for both sexes.. If you click on their catalogue you'll see the short-sleeve baby t that I love, but I especially love the darling silver necklaces as well. Adorable and hey - there is nothing wrong with a little affirmation in the mirror every day.

*And this too* And ok.. yes, seriously, I'm tired.. but you people HAVE to see Elsewheres cuz there are just too many things like this chalkboard pendant if you want to spend a little money, but it's frickin sweet, isn't it? And I think this little bird necklace is quite the eye-catcher, no? She also linked to Toothpaste For Dinner, which apparently is a comic (?) but they make extremely funny t-shirts like this Panflute Flowchart that I think I almost spewed when I saw it and the Bad Poetry, which would be perfect for the loverboy in your life. And dammit, if she would just stop, but she can't, she had to add this t-shirt site too, which is super awesome and funny. All cheap man! Would you just look at me saving you money!!

Last, but not least, please consider something I was cornered into did a few years ago and actually, I'm really happy, in all seriousness, that I've been able to continue it. For a girl who can sometimes barely take care of herself and her cat, I'm pretty proud that I can also sponsor a child. I get pictures and the cutest little letters and drawings from this little 9-year-old boy I've never met but who mentions me in his prayers. It sounds strange, but it's really affordable (can I say that?) and tho I need another bill like a hole in the head, I wish I could sponsor another, but I just can't. But YOU might be able to! Please think about it when going over all the things to buy that honestly, you may not really need and consider this as a possible gift to yourself and maybe even humanity.

Oh.. it's late my little petals.. and I realize these ideas may be slighted to the fairer sex.. but then most of my friends are women, I'm a woman.. and sometimes women are hard to shop for and just look how much effort and time I'm saving you! Santa should really take note and make sure he drops off one of the male J. Crew models or even Orlando Bloom in my stocking for me (Jules? Put in a good word, won't you?). Yes, indeed. And these are just a few of my ideas, but if you have more, do send them my way. I'll be so ever intrigued!

Here's to hoping Santa brings you all you ask for (and more) this holiday season, my friends..
