Dragonfly Paper Clips

Just as I had bunny paper clips for Easter, here are some Springtime-colored dragonfly paper clips for Mother's Day, courtesy of the Catching Fireflies website. Now, in case you think that paper clips seem out of place as part of a Mother's Day gift basket or bag of goodies, keep in mind that for me and my mom, our idea of Mother/Daughter bonding shopping consists of Office Max and Office Depot rather than clothing stores. (Hey, I never claimed to be normal!)

Ice Tea Sippers

Here's another little lemony treat for your Mom: Hammond's iced tea sippers, which are porous candy "straws" for iced tea. She can sip through them before they dissolve to sweeten the tea. Perfect for an afternoon reading on the sun porch or in the garden! The sippers come in orange, lemon, and key lime.

Hammond's is a candy company that's been around in Denver since 1920. They have lots of other treats, like handmade caramels and marshmallows, so be sure to look at the rest of their website.

The Candle Carver

Does your mother love to decorate, and/or entertain? If so, this would make a lovely and relatively inexpensive stocking stuffer or Mother's Day gift basket item: a candle carver that will allow her to make tealight holders out of apples, pears, miniature pumpkins, and so on. It would be especially useful for Halloween and Thanksgiving displays, but creative types will find a use for it year-round, I'm sure. I found it on the Perpetual Kid website, but I think it's available from a variety of catalogs.

Daily Extra / Follow-up: Jac Zagoory T. Rex (and other) Staple Removers

Just this past Friday, I posted about the Jac Zagoory T. Rex Staple Remover. Over the weekend, I received a very gracious e-mail from Mr. Zagoory thanking me for the post, and giving me some information that helps put the price of the item in context. Mr. Zagoory explains that all of his pieces are made locally in the USA, using high quality pewter (as opposed to many pieces that are made with pewter from the Orient, which can have a high lead content, turning the pewter a dull gray over time). The actual staple remover mechanism is a new design by an American inventor, and the entire piece is hand-assembled and placed in a high-quality gift box that is also made in the USA. So while the staple remover is not inexpensive, I certainly regret calling the price "outrageous" without knowing more about it.

And I'm so glad Mr. Zagoory e-mailed me, because it prompted me to go look at his website. Somehow it just didn't occur to me (I was sick most of last week, and not terribly coherent) that he would have other staple remover designs that would be just as enticing, but he certainly does. Click here to see his bear, lion, shark, gator, elephant, and (my favorite, pictured right) dragon, among others. Mr. Zagoory's website also has his staplers, pen holders, and pens available.

Fizzy Baker Cupcake Bath Bomb

Remember I said I like fizzy lemons and limes for Mother's Day? This Fizzy Baker Cupcake Bath Bomb seems just the ticket. The product description says that the "cupcake" portion softens and scents the water, while the "frosting" and flower on top floats free for use as a scrubbing soap. At 5.25 ounces, it's even the same size as a real cupcake. Just don't eat it!

Handmade Ceramic Garden Stakes

Today kicks off two weeks' worth of posts about Mother's Day, which is coming up quickly on Sunday, May 10! In my mind, Mother's Day is all about small but thoughtful luxuries that show your mother you appreciate all she has done for you. For whatever reason, I tend to think of Mother's Day in conjunction with flowers (especially sunflowers and daisies), gardening, fizzy lemons and limes, and Springtime in general, which you'll see reflected in many of the gift ideas I'll be listing over the next several days.

Today, I'm delighted to start with these beautiful handmade garden stakes from Etsy seller From Artisan Hands. According to the description, the stakes are cut from speckled stoneware, stamped, glazed, and fired. The Etsy shop shows stakes for herbs, vegetables, and even inspirational words; a set of three costs $20 plus shipping. Many of the stakes have lovely impressions of dragonflies, birds, or suns stamped into them. You can even order custom stakes if you don't see what you want!

Aren't they lovely? I love the harmonious colors, which are also earth-toned enough that they will look completely natural in a garden.

Buying in Bulk from the Oriental Trading Company

Many of you will already be familiar with the Oriental Trading Company, which sells inexpensive toys and novelties that are great for children's parties. I've also bought Halloween and "tropical" items from them for my own themed parties. The difficulty is that many of the items are only available in lots of a dozen or more, and while that's fine for actual children's parties, if you only have one or two children, you just don't need that many items for their Christmas stockings.

So here's what I suggest: if you have friends or neighbors with kids roughly around the same age as yours, why not suggest going in together for a catalog or online order? For instance, the cows shown above are (as of this writing) on sale for $4.99 per dozen, or not quite 42¢ apiece before shipping. If three stocking-stuffing Moms with a total of six kids got together, they'd each have two cute stocking stuffers for each child at under $1 before shipping. (I note that the company's website is currently offering free shipping on orders over $49, although you'd have to buy a lot of stocking stuffers to get there!)

Sticking (no pun intended) with the farm animal theme, there are farm animal stickers that sell for $2.49 for a roll of 100, which can easily be divided into smaller batches. There are also these farm animal foam ink stamps (shown left). All in all, a simple search for the word "farm" yields 163 different products. Granted, they're not all small enough to act as stocking stuffers, but plenty of them are. If the kids have outgrown farm animal toys, you could try a different theme, such as pirates. And although I generally prefer toys that are appropriate year-round instead of being season, the Oriental Trading Company does always have a large selection of holiday-themed merchandise.

Jac Zagoory T. Rex Staple Remover

Back on December 11, I posted about the "Mr. P Cano" staple remover, a silly little plastic staple remover in the shape of a pelican. Around the web, I've also seen staple removers in the form of alligators, snakes, and even a bear.

But this has to be the Cadillac of the Cadillacs: the Jac Zagoory T. Rex Staple Remover. Made of pewter, this T. Rex skull will make quick work of any pesky staples that get in your way. Alas, it has to be listed on a "luxury Friday" because of the outrageous price -- $55.00 from the "Library Shop" at the New York Public Library! I really wish this were more affordable, because I think it's funny and I can think of at least three men I would love to buy it for. Who knows, maybe I'll win the lottery! And in the meantime, I'll just dream of it along with all the other Friday luxury/fantasy stocking stuffers I've listed.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives

Is someone in your family an olive connoisseur? If so, he or she might appreciate a change from the usual pimento or garlic stuffed olives. The Temecula Olive Oil Company has a nice selection of gourmet olives, including blue cheese stuffed olives, feta cheese and oregano stuffed olives, Parmesan and Romano cheese stuffed olives, and many more. Most of the 10 oz. jars seem to be priced at $7.99 apiece.

If you prefer to do your shopping in person, upscale grocery and liquor stores will also likely have a nice selection of gourmet olives.

Magnetic Bottle Opener

While I do find this a wee bit pricey for what is essentially just a bottle opener, it is both functional and aesthetically pleasing -- and I do know that when we have parties, we are forever misplacing the bottle openers, so having one stuck to the fridge would be quite handy. And it does have a high customer rating on the Solutions catalog website where I found it.

If the recipient happens to have a blue or green kitchen, so much the better. And although the bottle opener doesn't exactly look like a daisy, it's certainly reminiscent of them.

Nellie's Pink Dryer Balls

I came across these dryer balls on the Literacy Site web store. The description says they are "as seen on Daily Planet", and that these large soft plastic balls with spikes are meant to take the place of fabric softeners, which are extremely toxic. According to the product information, the spikes "help to lift and separate clothes with the goal of reducing static and drying time and fluffing clothes by improving the circulation of heat and air through the wet items." It also says that they can be used to dry delicate clothes without heat.

They were originally $14.95, so I'm not sure how long this $6.00/pair price will last. I think they'd make a nice stocking stuffer for the environmentalist in your life.

Digital Soaps

In case you've fallen into the habit of thinking that Etsy products are only good for flowery, sentimental occasions, think again! There are all manner of creative items available, including gifts for those hard-to-buy-for male teens, college students, and even grown men (who we all know are really little boys at heart). Etsy seller Digital Soaps offers a wide array of soaps in the shape of video game controllers, ranging from Xbox to Playstation to Nintendo to the now ubiquitous Wii. Some of the soaps are a clear glycerin, and come in various scents, while others, such as the Xbox controller soap pictured above, go all out for realism.

Whatever your loved one's video poison, you're sure to find a matching soap here. Trust me, your guys -- and their gaming friends -- will love it. If your guy is just a techie, but not a gamer, there are even iPod, keyboard, and cell phone soaps to choose from. And don't forget there are girl gamers and techies out there too!

Spanish, German, or Other Children's Foreign Language Music CDs

If you live in the United States and you have little ones, here's a fun stocking stuffer that is also a painless way to help your child have a lifelong advantage in the workplace: fluency in a foreign language. As a country, we are so far behind the rest of the world in teaching and learning foreign languages. Study after study has shown that the earlier you start, the easier it is to learn. And at the younger ages, it can be just plain fun instead of work. If I had children, I would probably choose either German or Spanish: German because we think that three of my four great-grandparents came from Germany, or Spanish because I live in Texas, and many job listings prefer (although they don't require) at least a familiarity with Spanish.

I think the best way is to start with a CD of fun children's songs in the language, such as Songs in Spanish for Children or Kinderlieder (shown above). Play them in the car and sing along -- much better than a DVD that only your child in the backseat can see!

If your child seems responsive, you can even make it a Christmas stocking tradition, with a language CD or DVD or set of flashcards, advancing in difficulty as your child learns, each year. You can also pair the stocking gift with children's picture books in that language. Make the effort to learn the language with your child, if you don't already know it. If you stick with it, it truly is a gift that will keep giving for your child's entire lifetime.

Calla Lily Earrings

It might not be self-evident on this blog, but in general I'm much more into funky and artsy and edgy than I am into "pretty". This time, though, the pretty just got me. These 1 1/8" earrings, made of porcelain and rhodium-plated brass (whatever that is), are stunning. In addition to being the right size for a stocking, they're perfect for a springtime birthday, Mother's Day, or next year's Easter basket.

Sushi Bandages

Speaking of sushi, which I mentioned yesterday in conjunction with the Hawaiian black lava sea salt, here are some silly sushi adhesive bandages that are kind of fun. The tin is 3.74 inches tall and contains 25 bandages, so this will easily fit into a Christmas stocking. Now, I'm not sure how many teenagers are into sushi, but it is true that many Japanese things have become trendy for teens due to the popularity of anime and manga. College students might enjoy these as an addition to a dorm room first aid kit. And if you're tired of giving your husband or boyfriend nothing but chocolate and neckties in his stocking, this would be a nice change of pace.

Be sure and scroll down the product page to see all the other novelty bandages that the Perpetual Kid website has to offer. You name it, they've put it on a bandage!

Hawaiian Black Lava Organic Sea Salt

The thing that initially caught my eye about this Hawaiian black lava sea salt is that the listing says it is particularly "exceptional" on sushi, which is something I've only recently come to appreciate. It also says it's great for salads, vegetables, grilled steak, teriyaki chicken, or tofu. In any case, at $6.99 for a 6 oz. jar, it is unusual enough to make an elegant stocking stuffer for a gourmet, yet not so expensive that it's out of reach.

(And if you're planning to surprise your spouse with a trip of Hawaii -- although I don't know who can do that in this economic climate! -- you could use this salt and some other Hawaiian items to "set the stage" for your gift.)

Audobon Bird Call

Here's a fun stocking stuffer when you're trying to get your child interested in the outdoors instead of just television shows and video games: an Audobon bird call. Made of birchwood and metal, this little "instrument" makes a variety of calls that are meant to attract wild birds.

Where I grew up on the east coast, it was a rare and special occasion to see an honest-to-goodness bluejay or cardinal. In Houston, though, I often see bluejays in the backyard, keeping an eye on the squirrels. My cats certainly enjoy the show! We also have hummingbirds (I understand that we're just on the edge of a migration route), egrets, doves, and herons, and they're all lovely to watch.

The bird call is also appropriate for a child already enrolled in Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts, as those organizations (if I recall correctly) like to emphasize nature activities. You can also pair this with any number of guides to bird species, either one small enough to also fit in the stocking, or a larger book under the Christmas tree.

Recycled Vinyl Record "Stack of Books" Necklace

Today's Etsy item appeals to me on so many different levels. First, it's eco-friendly, because it's made from a reclaimed vinyl record. Second, it's a stack of books; I'm a librarian and a book lover. And third, it's gorgeous. I love the way it appears to be abstract, but at the same time you can instantly recognize it as a stack of books. And I love that the negative space (although I'm not sure if I'm using that art phrase/concept correctly) is as much a part of the piece as the actual physical portion.

This "stack of books" necklace, as well as several other intricate and geometric designs, all made from reclaimed vinyl records, comes from Etsy seller Aroha Silhouettes. The chains are sterling silver, and each listing tells the piece's specific dimensions, which I always find useful when it comes to jewelry. The book stack pictured above, for instance, is actually a "mini" version that measures about 2 x 2.4 inches at its widest points. There are larger book stack pieces as well. The stunning geometric design shown here to the right is a bold 3 x 3 inches.

And finally, each necklace comes in a reusable tin, which makes this wearable art even more perfect for gift giving and stocking stuffing....

Easter Cake Pops from the Bakerella Blog

I've never been a fan of Easter chocolate molds, where you simply melt different pastel-colored "chocolate" buttons into molds, and end up with pink, white, and yellow bunnies, hens, and chicks. Some were on lollipop sticks, while others were just "standalone" pieces wrapped in cellophane individually or together. Even as a kid, I thought they tasted too sickly sweet, and of course now I know that white chocolate is not actually chocolate anyway, since it has no cacao in it.

In any case, if Easter has snuck up on you but you still want to make some treats yourself, and you're tired of simply melting chocolate into molds, you might want to take it to the next level with cake pops. I don't remember how and when I first came Bakerella's blog, but I remember being astounded at her ingenuity and at the adorable detail of her various cake pops. She has basic cake pop instructions here, from which you'll see that cake pops are made from a mixture of cake and frosting, which helps the pop hold its shape. It's then dipped into colored melted chocolate and decorated with edible pens, candies, etc.

You really should spend some time exploring her blog to see all the amazing things she's made from this basic concept. And naturally she has some for Easter, including Easter egg cake pops and bunny cake pops. But my hands-down favorite is the adorable little sheep cake pop shown above.

Easter Parade DVD

This is right on the borderline of what I've been considering a "luxury Friday gift item" -- I've arbitrarily been using $20.00 as the cutoff point, and as of today, this Easter Parade DVD is $19.99 on Amazon. But the list price is higher, which means if you need to get it at the last minute in a store instead of ordering it online, you might end up paying closer to the $26.99 list price for this classic movie.

If you're not familiar with the story, Easter Parade stars Fred Astaire and Judy Garland; he's an established entertainer who's just been jilted by his partner, and he vows that he can turn any young woman who comes along into a "star" by the next year's "Easter parade", when the women stroll up and down the street, parading their Easter finery on the arms of their escorts. It's silly and cliched and charming, and would make an out-of-the-ordinary Easter basket gift for anyone into old movies.

Divided Butterly and Flower Boxes

This Easter stocking basket stuffer pays off twice: once when you fill it with jelly beans or pastel M&Ms, and again when the recipient can use it to hold jewelry-making beads, earrings, or other little treasures. In fact, if you're trying to cut back on the Easter candy altogether, why not just fill it up with beads to begin with? You could then also put little pliers, coils or jewelry wire, or other jewelry-making tools into the Easter basket too.

The butterfly and flower boxes pictured come from The Container Store website, although as of today's date it says that both have been back-ordered. However, you may be able to get them in person at a Container Store location, or find something similar at Michael's, AC Moore, or Hobby Lobby craft stores. Another option might be a plastic "egg carton" if you can find one.

Mini Iced Easter Cookies

If you're sick to death of chocolate in Easter baskets (trust me, there really are some people who aren't addicted to chocolate!), here's a nice alternative, although it's a wee bit expensive at $22.95. However, you could counter that by divvying up these 30 miniature iced Easter cookies into separate cellophane bags for multiple Easter baskets. Aren't they adorable?

Of course, if you're a baker, you could make your own cookies for a lot less. I myself am not so good with the baking.... And at this late date, you'd pay a fortune for expedited shipping if you wanted these in time for Easter, but if you're lucky you might have a Williams-Sonoma store near where you live.

It certainly won't look out of place in an Easter basket. This book is written by Anne Gutman and illustrated by Georg Hallensleben, who also write/illustrate the wonderful Lisa and Gaspard series about two little dogs and their misadventures. Happy reading!

Mini Vases and Pots from Kaitlyn Duggan

Handmade items are the most beautiful, and these mini vases and pots from studio potter Kaitlyn Duggan, who sells on Esty as KaitlynDugganStudio, are no exception. I happen to have a tiny ceramic bud vase that my husband bought me years ago, and looking at it the other day made me realize what a lovely stocking stuffer it would make. The pastel colors also seem appropriate for an Easter gift if you're so inclined, or for Mother's Day, of course!

Since these vases and pots are handmade, each is unique, and Kaitlyn invites customers to let her know if they're looking for something in particular. The swirly mini vase shown above is my favorite, but I rather like the pots too, which can be used as votive holders. Each listing gives information about how the item was made, and notes that all of the pottery is food and dishwasher (but not microwave) safe.

Themed Easter Baskets for Boys

Let's face it, girls are generally easier to buy for than boys. So before I know it, I've posted about dozens of stocking stuffers and gift ideas for girls before I come up with anything for boys. To address that lack, I wanted to post today about themed Easter baskets for boys (or tomboys!), as opposed to all of those cutesy, pastel-colored things that are lining the grocery and drugstore shelves at this time of year. For instance, this soccer ball bank from the Blair Candy website is filled with soccer ball chocolates -- not quite egg-shaped, but maybe close enough? If soccer isn't the thing, they have basketball and baseball banks filled with the appropriate chocolate balls also. And at $6.95, they're not too pricey.

If you want to fill out the Easter basket with other items along the same theme, here is a soccer-playing chocolate Easter bunny (this one's a little on the expensive side, though), and even a roll of personalized address labels featuring a soccer-playing rabbit. A younger boy might like having his own return address labels, and they can be used on schoolbook covers and notebooks and elsewhere.

And even if you don't care for any of these particular ideas, don't give up! Instead, try doing an internet search to put unusual things together, such as "soccer" and "rabbit", or "basketball" and "rabbit". You just never know what will be out there, and before you know it you may have a really unique themed stocking or gift basket -- even one that's suitable for boys!

Cloisonné Egg Pendant Earrings

Nothing says Easter like Easter eggs, and here is a set that will last long beyond the holiday: cloisonné egg pendant earrings. I've always liked cloisonné jewelry, because such intricate detail is possible. According to Wikipedia, cloisonné is an ancient metalworking technique that was originally developed in the Near East, spreading to the Byzantine Empire and along the "silk road" to China. I once saw an amazing miniature portrait of the Sydney Opera House in cloisonné, and so wished I could afford it.

Fortunately, not all cloisonné is prohibitively expensive. And if your intended recipient does not have pierced ears, a single egg is available as a pendant charm for $13.00.

OK, these magnets aren't exactly a "Wednesday food item" stocking stuffer, but they come close in a way, don't you think?!
