Need gifts?

I've been zooming the interwebs and have decided to post some fun holiday gift ideas.

Here are today's picks:

Who could resist this wonderful 2010 calendar created by artist Amy Rice?

The calendar can be purchased directly from Amy. More info found here.

::

A stylie but functional way to transport lunch.

This is the 3 tier tiffin from Happy Tiffin. You can buy different sizes and even pick up a tiffin with a colorful insulated bag.

I must note that the tiffins can be periodically out of stock. Go here for more information.

::

How about a night out on the town in Portland? The Mark Spencer Hotel is my sister-in-law's favorite place to stay when she visits. They have wonderful Theater Package deals and their close proximity to Powell's Books is an extra bonus.

Take advantage of one of these. They have a Museum Package, a Theater Arts Package or a Book Worm package. Link here for more info.

::

Local art is a good thing.
I've been admiring Elizabeth Bauman's paintings from afar for quite a while.

You can see more of her work at her etsy site.

And finally this beautiful brooch designed and created by Tina Tarnoff.

This brooch was created from a print of one of her papercut images. Again, visit her etsy store for more lovelies. I'm also fond of her typewriter set.

A happy and peaceful holiday to all. Enjoy the quest.
