There’s a US-based company that does a sleek, less ornate version of the Glug Glug Jug, called the Gurgle Pot. Consider buying from them instead for all your Gurgling/Glugging container needs :)

(It’s an old co-worker of mine’s family business — that’s the reason for the plug!)

Niles was my fave! I still watch Frazier when I can….

WOW. I had never seen one of your gift guides before, and I just went through the archives and got ideas for about 10 people on my list! Thanks for posting these, I love them – they are really creative and real and useful, as opposed to those “30 under $30” crap lists that magazines come up with. I also really like your advice about making a list of what people love and going from there when thinking of gift ideas – so true!
xo and happy holidays!

So many great gift ideas! And the triangle earrings remind me of these pyramid studs (which I bought from my shop and wear practically every single day): http://alafdm.com/jewelry/pyramid_stud

Thank you, Joanna, for including so many truly affordable gifts this year! I am really excited about so many of these and thankful that the price is so within reach! Thank you!!

So you totally know my mom! :)

Why thank you! So nice to see our Footed Platte up there! A friend alerted me to it. I had no idea. Glad you like it!

Amazing list, those cookies look scrumptious!

My mom is a high school teacher and the idea of dried lavender on her desk just warms my heart. Also, I would love to give those “you are beautiful” pencils as a gift to my future daughter. Would make her smile every time she writes in school.

Great gift guide Jo!

Really lovely gift ideas! I especially like the scarves, but the collection of gift ideas together works quite well!

Love the print from tushtush’s Etsy shop. I figured this one would probably catch your eye, as well? :)

I love those earrings!

I love the scarf-especially because I have a vintage one that looks just like it, and love to wear it on my head.
