Simple Gift Guide 2015

Here is a taxonomy of some simple, fairly priced, yet extremely pleasing gifts of my choosing and approving. Enjoy! -Laurel Shada

Candles

"BadAssCandles" on Etsy / Via etsy.com

You can either hunt for the perfect one in a store, or get super creative and make your own special personalized scent. Etsy has some fantastic candles made by independent artists.

$5.00 - $30.00

Writing or Drawing Supplies

Dearest Nature / Via dearestnature.com

Whenever I get notebooks I always fill them up. Moleskin has some great notebooks that come in bunches of sizes that are great for scrap-booking to simply jotting ideas. Book Binders also has a plethora of fanciful Decomposition Books with beautiful covers.

$7.00 - $25.00

Tea

Urban Outfitters / Via urbanoutfitters.com

Tazo has some fantastic tea bags in a variety of different flavors. On their website, they even offer a tea tasting guide to help you decide the perfect flavor. You could also pick them up a lovely mug for their tea. Urban Outfitters has a great variety of mugs, and you could find the perfect one for literally anyone.

Tea & mug around $20.00

Cheese

UrbanCheesecraft / Via etsy.com

UrbanCheesecraft offers a variety of kits to make all different kinds of DIY cheese. They even offer a mini kit! Each of their kits includes basically everything that a first-time-cheeser would need to make some fantastic cheese.

$12.00 - $50.00

Coloring Book

Laurel Shada / Via etsy.com

Try something completely out of the box and even nostalgic - get a coloring book . . but not a kids one! Try a sassy coloring book made especially for adults or teens. Laurel's Shop on Etsy has two fantastic snarky coloring books called 'Color this Shit' and 'Color this Shit Too'

$5.00

Museum Pass or Tickets

Observer / Via observer.com

Instead of giving something typical, think outside of the box. Give a set of passes to a museum, an art gallery, or even an upcoming concert.

No indicated price

Scent

Demeter / Via demeterfragrance.com

As perfume is a slightly cliché gift, Demeter has some very unique and special scents that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Perfect for someone who doesn't want to smell like everyone else.

$2.50 - $39.50

Music

RM / Via rappingmanual.com

Try making a special one - of - a - kind curated playlist of your favorite songs, their favorite songs, or songs that mean something to the both of you. You can burn the playlist on to a CD, or even send them the link to the playlist through YouTube.

Priceless ;)
