Isn't the lemon cushion like the best thing in the world ever? She's made a whole variety of fruit and vegetables as well. Totally need to finally get round to learning to crochet so I can make this amazing shit myself!

So that's it. The end of gift guide week. I hope you found something that at least reminded you of a gift you should get if not a shop where to find it or a gift itself (preferably the iPad, for me yeah?). Or at least enjoyed all the lovely things laid out somewhat thoughtfully!

Where the man resides that this motely crue of things is for, who knows. But Harris Tweed/Comme/Bow Tie Wearing & bearded sounds alright to me. This was weirdly one of the easier lists to compile, mainly because I have a strange interest in high end male grooming products, all that badger hair brush shit fascinates me. In fact the boy got a little addicted to having a professional razor shave every day a few moons back, so maybe it's catching?

In the early hours of yesterday morning my friend Ella who I told you guys about last week sadly passed away. My thought are with her family & friends & all I can say is at least she's not in pain anymore. All my love.

Lots of etsy shops this year. It is nice to buy directly from the makers always, & I just couldn't find enough good stuff in the usual places. But I've trawled through listings just for you!

Clockwise from top left: Burt's Bees Head to Toe Starter Kit, £14.99, John Lewis, Fuck Off Heart Brass Necklace, $20.12/£12.57, Tevin Vincent, Tattoo Hands Glove Mitt, £16, Of Cabbages and Kings, Pacific Coat Fished Bandana, £15, Slow Down Joe, Deco Basil and Lime Soap, £12.95, Twenty Twenty One, Bear Head Wall Mount, £19.36, White Faux Taxidermy, Mighty Asterix Wooden Puzzle, £12.50, Siam Collection, Colour Wheel Wooden Puzzle, £19.36, Puzzled One, Dumb & Ugly T-shirt, £15.49, Burger and Friends, Cycle of Violence Comic Book By Grayson Perry, £16.50, Blackwell's, Owl and Zebra Illustrated Wooden Badges, £14.20, Depeape.

Feeling a bit dodgy about this one considering two of them (T-shirt & necklace) might be offensive if given to the wrong person but I think they're fucking awesome. In fact the boy gave me a "Fuck It" bracelet a month or so back which is so perfect in it's sweary loveliness. Hopefully we all have someone who *gets* the shit we give to them anyway huh. & sorry about the puzzles, the colour wheel was too good not to include & I think they'd both look good as decor sculptures not just puzzles!

It's back! Much more a mixed bag than last year I think but that wooden English Rose is the sweetest & actually I'm pretty stoked to have found some of the online shops these things are from. None Such Things & Of Cabbages and Kings are absolutely lovely. But I have to fess up I have cheated a little as I actually bought this Ron Swanson keyring for myself last week because they are perfect for my "Work Keys". Well I found it funny anyway. & if you don't know who Ron Swanson is, better add that Parks and Recreation Boxset to your Christmas List. Promise you it'll be worth it! (shit just looked & found out it's only available as a US Import, & since we haven't overcome that obstacle yet, have to stick to watching it online instead)
