Dutch Treat TopThis shirt is so cute. It has a flattering cut, and is decorated with an adorable print of two Dutch children kissing by a windmill. You can see more of the design on the back of the shirt. $42.00, Made With Love By Hannah
Lumimarja Sheet Set
It's like sleeping in a winter wonderland. These pretty 270-thread-count cotton sheets with a snowy tree motif are blissfully serene.
$89.95 for a queen set, CB2
Ball of Whacks
This toy, made of pyramid shaped magnets, is supposed to make you more creative and save you from writer's block or accountant's block or whatever block you're afflicted with. I don't know about all that, but this is so much fun to play with. I don't recommend keeping it on your desk at work though. It's hard to stop messing around with it and focus on your work. $29.99, Creative Whack Company
Tortoise Tumblers
I dig these glass tumblers with a tortoise-shell motif. They make me want to dim the lights, take a match to some tealights, and throw on an old Everything But the Girl CD.
$21.00 for two, ZipperGifts.com
Deluxe Wooden Sudoku Board Set
This whole Sudoku rage makes me feel like a dolt. Whenever I try to do one of them, I end up with scribbled out numbers all over the place. (But that doesn't stop me from trying again.) I like this board set, because if you make a mistake, you can just pluck out a tile and plop another one back in. Also, the pieces remind me of Scrabble, a game that's close to my heart. $50.00, Kate's Paperie
Bead Ornaments
I really like these Christmas tree ornaments from CB2. They're about the size of your typical orb, but made in a pretty spiral of beads and wire. To me, it looks like some kind of cool holly sculpture. $3.95, CB2
Flocked Bird Box Pillow
Apparently, I like bird motifs. A lot. That explains why this purty throw pillow, with satin-y trim, caught my eye from like a mile away. It also comes in red. $19.99, Urban Outfitters
Painted Truffle Grand Platinum
These truffles are amazing. Each of the 11 flavor combinations are rich and interesting. For example, there's lemon and dark chocolate; white chocolate with coconut, lime, and rum; and milk chocolate with orange blossom honey and lavender. And they're all made by hand. $27.95 for 15, Painted Truffle
Rudolph Lip Balm Set
Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. Just because my nose glows, why I don't fit in? I love that movie. And now you can enjoy it in lip balm form. (Finally!) The flavors: Blueberry Blast, Rockin’ Raspberry, Peppermint Twist and Berry Bubblegum. $10.00 for all four, Fred Flare
Nooka Zub 20 Zot Watch
These Nooka watches are pretty funky. To tell the time, you look at the dots for the hour and the bar for the minutes. This one has a rubber watch band, and also comes in blue, red, black, yellow, or white. $125.00, 2modern
Mediterraneo Bowl
I think this fruit bowl would look dramatic on any table. It's designed by Emma Silvestris for Alessi, and it kind of reminds me of coral reefs. $60.00, MOMA Store
Tarte Gilt Trip Lipgloss Set
Mr. Suicide Bathtub Plug
Yes, this bath accessory is pretty morbid, and yet amusing. The figurine floats, so if you fill up the tub too much, his little head gets submerged. $23.00, Unica Home
Peppermint Vanilla Soy Candle
I think I'm becoming a Method convert. This candle smells heavenly. It has a gentle scent that makes me think of candy canes. It's a nice way to warm up your abode for a holiday gathering. $6.00, Method
Snowman Spatula
Sur La Table has the cutest spatulas. In keeping with the holiday motif, they've got one with gingerbread men too. I also dig the one with hearts and the one with bees. I just have to keep telling myself that there's absolutely no reason for someone who does no baking to own four spatulas. Is there? $6.95, Sur La Table
