Smorkin Labbit

We really just didn’t know what to say about this one.  The rabbit with the bad habit is the bunny who smells funny?

Anyhow, we do Not advocate smoking…for rabbits, or otherwise

For the ever-lender | Personal Library Kit

Ever lend out a book to a friend, only to have it disappear into a black hole, never to be seen again?

Knock Knock’s Personal Library Kit is the perfect antidote.  You can easily keep track of where each of your books is, and the handy-dandy "Return Date" is a polite reminder to the borrower to give you back your stuff.

Problem solved!

For your bookworm friend | Punctuation Pagemarks

Perfect for the friend who always has a book in her bag.

I love the retro-feeling colors and the cool punctuation marks.  Prettier than Post-its, AND it appeals to my obsessive-compulsive side!

$8 at Fred Flare.

For the Roommate | Golden Girls Second Season on DVD

You spend so much time with your roommate, hanging out, watching TV, you definitely know their favorite shows and because you live with them, you can definitely find out which DVDs they do and do not own, so you can easily fill in the season or seasons they are missing.

$37.99 at Amazon.

For the Aunt & Uncle | Udon Noodle Bowl

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.

For the College Roommate | Egg Rug

I’ll admit it: I’m planning on getting this for myself. That’s how cool it is. The egg is this great irregular shape, and the yolk is raised a few inches higher than the rest of the rug. Could one think of a better way to cover up spilled drinks from last night’s party?

$24 at Triple B Studio.
