Mella dresses up flip flops. No longer the shoe for lazy days, Mella wraps the flip flop in comfortable fabrics from terry cloth to velvet and even comes in a platform heeled version for the vertically challenged. It’s no wonder these things are flying off the shelves at Fred Segal and Kitson!
$42 at Mella USA.

It’s always hard to find something that everyone in the office will appreciate, but you really can’t go wrong with this gourmet combo of organic figs, organic dark chocolate and vintage port all in one bite. Mmm…Scrumptious!
$13 (for four) at Cocoa Vino.

I think this makes the perfect gift because it’s an item someone might not purchase but would love to receive. Not only is it ergonomic — it’s designed to be held with only one hand and can hold a pair of chopsticks — but its sleek design makes for great conversation.
$30 at Flavour Design.

Of course, for every person you connect with for the holidays, there’ll be one you’re missing far from home. Send your faraway girlfriends your best with one of these cards, and they’ll think it’s cute as a button that enclosed is a bubble of Cargo’s signature lipgloss.
$20 for 10 cards at Sephora.

What does one get the man who has Everything? Something extravagant, and something unique, to be sure. But where do you go? One of our readers, Julia, turned our attention to the Annelli Collection.
We love their custom made cufflinks, especially their Money Changers Guild Cufflinks (shown at left). This particular piece is shown in sterling silver and custom colored blue enamel. Each piece is individually handcrafted in Italy the original artisanal way with wax molds. Orders generally take 6-8 weeks, but they’re carrying limited stock on hand for the holiday season.
$400 at Annelli Collection.

One part functional, and one part cutting edge chic, these laptop cases are the coolest we’ve seen yet.
Maloo’s laptop cases are made of 100% wool felt (not the standard neoprene…or worse, nylon) and are multifunctional. Not only do they serve as laptop cases with their velcro straps, but they also serve as heat-absorbing mats on which to place your laptop while in use. And you can leave your mousepad at home, because they also double as a chic mousepad.
If you like what you see, snap it up fast–they’re for sale for the next Two Days Only at Charles and Marie. After that, check out Red Maloo’s site for these cases.
Thanks, Marcus, for bringing our attention to these laptop cases!
$75 at Charles and Marie.

Drifter tees are "best when worn." Indeed, the designers over at Drifter recreate the broken-in feel of your most comfy tee. Add the cool deconstruction and faux-layering, and you’ve got yourself your new favorite t-shirt!
$52 at Revolve Clothing.

Brought to our attention by a reader named Marcus with a particularly sharp eye…
If you’re looking for THE iPod nano wallet, look no further. Charles and Marie still have this adorable item in stock, unlike all of the other retailers who are currently on backorder.
The wallet, measuring 3.5" by 2.5", is constructed out of full grain leather (the good stuff) and holds your Nano along with the essentials—credit cards and cash.
But buy it NOW because it’s only going to be available until about 4pm PST today!
$25 at Charles and Marie.

New parents have already gotten all their basic baby needs (blankets, diapers, changing table, crib, etc. etc. etc.) taken care of in their many baby showers and you know how fast babies outgrow clothes. This gift is practical, sentimental and it lasts. It gives the new parents a place to collect their baby keepsakes; plus how many times have you heard parents coo over the teeny size of their baby’s feet?
$39.95 at Pearhead.
