Cutest little shop I stumbled upon today in Brookline Village! Locally owned and the only of its kind, this is a perfect place to pick up some Christmas gifts. They have gorgeous throws and pillows, fun socks for winter, and a cute selection of clothes (though many of them come with a price tag). They have tons of delicious smelling soaps, just perfect for gift giving. And a sweet selection of ornaments for the tree. I just knew I had found a gem the moment I stepped inside. Adorbs!

“Pod is a tiny neighborhood boutique offering inspired simplicity through contemporary home accessories, found object, fresh cut flowers, women’s apparel, and personal care items. Our thoughtfully edited collection of goods speaks to those looking for the quiet of Eastern design, but also the warmth and textural quality customary of European traditions. Opened in 1998, the shop is located in quaint Brookline Village, MA, but could easily fit right into the most creative quarters of Paris, Brooklyn, or San Francisco.”

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Necklaces for Her…

So I know I’ve already posted about a necklace idea a few days ago, but recently I’ve been browsing Etsy for more fun jewlery for holiday gift giving. There are sooo many fun and adorable necklaces out there how will I ever tell about them all. Obviously you can do your own searching, but here are some more necklaces I think are just peachy:

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: For HIM

What should you get that special guy in your life?

Here are just a few ideas for the men that you love…

I think they have some great dress shirts at Lands End this year. Having a boyfriend that doesn’t like to shop many places but the thrift store, I think one of these would be perfect for him this year- especially with his new job.

This pattern is my favorite, but there are many, many to choose from!


The Beer Book

Here is an original idea: A book all about good beer- from the history to popular brewing techniques. “An ultimate reference for beer lovers of all levels” – Wine Enthusiast.


Kiehl’s Men’s Refueling Set

This is a nice gift at a great price! Body scrub, facial moisturizer and shaving cream.


Who wouldn’t love a pair of slippers to keep their toes warm? These slippers are sweeeet from Lands’ End. You can also find great slipper options at L.L.Bean and Eddie Bauer.



And for those of you who live in Boston- a Phantom Gourmet gift card. He can pick from a long list of restaurants and you can have a great night out to dinner! Win, win!
