My Super Hero?

Deb Savvy — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 03:12:51 +0000

Mix it Up

Deb Savvy — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:36:35 +0000

Mix it all up! At little miss matched it doesn’t match – and it never will. It’s not supposed to. From socks and gloves to bed linens, activewear and accessories. Socks and gloves are actually sold in sets of three coordinating yet non-matching pieces and are too fun for words.

I bought some gloves for Peanut not too long ago and much to my surprise when Little Guy saw them he went crazy. So I got him a set, too. About a month later he told me that he had lost of this ‘regular’ gloves. When I asked him what he did with the one remaining glove he said ‘it’s one of miss matches now. I wear it all the time!’ Mix it up at little miss matched where nothing matches and it’s not supposed to.

Bright colors, bold patterns and quality fabrics make for well coordinated and functional (and completely mismatched) gear for kids, teens, toddlers, babies and adults.

UPDATE AS OF 9/27/2008: This is hot off the presses! Our good friends at little miss matched have just added a brand new CLEARANCE OUTLET section to their site and they’re celebrating with a 50% off sale. Shop now because at these prices it’s all gonna be gone in a flash!

A Fun Baby Gift Idea

Deb Savvy — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 03:35:28 +0000

If you’re looking for a fun and memorable baby gift, I love the idea of teeny-tiny team jerseys and gear. A gift like this is especially perfect for a new addition a family of die hard fans, but it’s also a fun way to pay tribute to the new parents’ college days or home towns.

And for all those new grandparents, aunts and uncles – this is a great way to start the indoctrination early, especially if there’s a little intra-family fan rivalry to be nurtured!

A Fun Gift for Sushi Addicts

Deb Savvy — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 06:17:06 +0000

Got a sushi addict on your gift list this year? You know the type. Out for sushi at least once a week. Sushi delivery at least twice. Maybe even a quick pick up order on the way home from work or the gym.

Don’t fight their passion – indulge it. A saki set, perhaps some lacquered chop sticks or a bento box. Maybe a few small china dishes or a covered miso bowl. You’ll find all these and much more at KKDiscount: Oriental SuperStore. Loads of lovely and elegant gift ideas for far less than you’d pay elsewhere. You could easily but together a lovely gift for your sush loving friend for $40 or less. I bought a few things on my last trip to Hong Kong and I was quite disappointed to come home and discover the same items here at lower prices. And a much bigger selection, by the way. Live and learn. Orders over $50 ship free.

For Someone Who Really Does Have Everything…

Deb Savvy — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 08:19:56 +0000

If you’re shopping for one of those people who really does have everything, you know how hard it can be. Think outside the box year and inside the pages. Instead of adding to the ‘everything’ that he or she already has, pay tribute to it (or some part of it, anyway) with a beautiful book. Collectors always enjoy unusual books and catalogs featuring the objects of their desire – and a topical book always shows that you’ve put a lot of personal thought into your gift.

If there’s a brand new book that’s appropriate, that’s great. But if there isn’t – no worries. Find something unusual and out of print – your gift will have much more meaning. For some people, an older and more obscure book could be a better choice. A used book is just fine if it’s older and out of print and that’s all you can find. Again, sometimes even better. Be specific. Find something that pays homage to what the recipient loves most. Maybe that book from the Guggenheim exhibit The Art of the Motorcycle for a Harley Davidson enthusiast. Or the catalog from the Met’s Ferragamo show, The Art of the Shoe, for a Manolo addict. How about a book of historical photos of their home town or alma mater? Or a photo history of the die-hard fan’s beloved team. Get the idea?

Looking for Gifts for a Fashionista?

Deb Savvy — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 07:45:03 +0000

Look no further.

It’s a designer and luxury website like no other. You won’t find most of what they sell anywhere else on the web. Top notch personal customer service. Clothing, shoes, accessories and more for men, women, girls and boys. A well edited selection of elegant gifts for the home, books and one of a kind vintage pieces.

A Best Bet for Original Ornaments

Deb Savvy — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:16:16 +0000

Whether you’re looking for holiday decorations for your own home or shopping for stocking stuffers and fun little hostess gifts for the holidays, definitely take a moment to check out the ornaments and holiday decor at the Acacia Catalog. You’ll find handmade works from artisans around the world. I’m particularly fond of the hand knit ornaments below. Hand-knit in Nepal by women who work for a company committed to their welfare, each is 100% Himalayan wool with hand embroidery. Set of six includes a star, tree, stocking, hat, mitten, and roundel. Hang them on your tree, mantel, or wreath and know you’re helping others earn a decent wage, educate their children, and keep their families healthy.

Here’s a great idea for a holiday party: Attach name tags to artful ornaments and use them as both table decorations and party favors. You’ll add a festive splash of color to your holiday tabletop and your guests will have a lovely keepsake to remember all the fun. You can even attach decorative name tags and use the ornaments as place cards.

A Fun and Functional Gift for Under $50

Deb Savvy — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 23:44:47 +0000

I think this is just about one of the cutest and cleverest ideas I’ve seen in quite a while. A digital photo albumn keychain! Ingenious! We all carry keys, don’t we?

TAO 1.5-Inch Digital Photo Keychain (TM263)
$49.95 at The Sharper Image

What a terrific gift for just about anyone. And for just about any occasion. A great gift for proud grandparents, aunts and uncles and parents too. If you’re gifting someone who’s not all that tech savvy or you want to add a really personal touch – load it up with some special photos first. How much fun is that!

The Return of the Chile Party!

Deb Savvy — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 03:28:01 +0000

After a hiatus of what I think is more than 10 years, Sara is FINALLY bringing back her chili party. Woo Hoo! The infamous annual fete is a combination of a gourmet chili feast (as Sara is, among other things, a top notch chef) and a chile pepper themed drunken melee, with crazy themed decor, prize raffles and more. I had heard rumblings that she was resurrecting the tradition. The minute the invitation arrived I had a brainstorm. I’m going to send her a chile pepper pinata for the party. How perfect is that! My next thought was ‘where in the world will I find a chile pepper pinata?’.

Red Chile Pinata

Well I found one. At Pinatas.com – and best of all it was only $12.99! How often do you get to surprise someone with such a perfect little something for a party and get such a bargain at the same time? You might think it’s strange that I’m bragging about how I sent my friend such an inexpensive gift. It’s not strange at all. No one loves a bargain more than Sara. And she likes to know. Sara has been known to leave the price tag on a gift on purpose. Not because she wants you to now how much she spent – but because she wants you to KNOW how great a bargain she found. She’s a savvy shopper, what can I say.

Accessories that Affirm

Deb Savvy — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 06:45:39 +0000

There’s nothing like the power of positive thinking. Sometimes, it’s all about attitude, right? And sometimes we all need a little reminder. A simple piece of jewelry inscribed with an inspiring message, perhaps. Slip it on as a reminder to be all you can be. An excellent thing to buy for yourself and a wonderful gift for a sister or friend who needs a nudge of encouragement.

I like this Journey Necklace from Acacia Catalog, where they have some really nice pieces of inspirational and symbolic jewelry. Both a pendant and a touchstone (its texture invites the hand), the sterling silver disc features the Japanese Kanji character for “journey” on one side, the English word on the other. 18″ sterling chain closes with a front toggle.

May the Force be With You

Deb Savvy — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 19:24:42 +0000

It’s crazy how certain movies work their way into the fabric of our everyday lives. I was having dinner with friends recently and at one point in the conversation, Stacey asked the group ‘what was it that Yoda said?’. We all answered in unison ‘do or do not. there is no try.’ Wisdom often comes from unusual sources.

And so does fun, by the way. At their wedding last fall, Michael and Julia posed for pictures while dueling with Star Wars light sabers. It was really cute and the pictures turned out great. For the right people, light sabers could be a terrific gift. It’s just silly enough without being tasteless (to the right people) and certainly memorable.
