It's the thought that counts, right?

Like a lot of people this year, I won't be spending a lot of money on holiday gifts. Inspired by my friends over at Handmade Highway I decided to do a little window shopping of my own - the realistic/ non-millionaire if-money-were-no-object-this-is-what-I'd-get-you sense.  After all, it's the thought that counts, right?☻

Here are my Etsy and Zibbet picks with imaginary money / a window-shopping eye. I'll continue to add to this post as I come across fabulous finds and decide which of my friends/ family they'd suit.

When I saw this ruffle scarf from Artlab, I immediately thought of my best friend, Boo, whose style is minimalist and elegant. I love how versatile this scarf is – it’s like a necklace that keeps you warm!

Artlab - $55

Next up, my dog, Banjo, who has a sensitive belly and is allergic to grain - so I’d pick these yummy-looking (and wheat- and corn-free!) dog treats from LeoandCompany. I really like how they also encourage the adoption of shelter dogs – they’ll even send you a free bag of treats if you adopt a dog from any shelter in the U.S. Woof!

LeoandCompany - $8

Next on my list are my friends over at The Hole Bead Shop. I think inaBAG's wire sculpture would be perfect - the terrified expression on the Snake Harmer’s face would really make them laugh.... for days at a time.

inaBAG - $25

 I already have the stunning Pink Dichroic Glass Necklace from Jane Jewson, which a lot of my friends have admired, so I might pick up several pairs of her Dichroic Glass Earrings to gift to various friends.

Jane Jewson - $15
