Gift Guide Number 2: Boys

I actually think my boyfriend is really easy to buy for, but it was harder for me to put together this little batch of gift ideas while avoiding what I actually got him (none of these things!) because I think he actually checks this once in a while. I did however include one thing I got for my brother (the Brooklyn cookbook), and something I got for Luke last year but I like everything else a lot and hopefully a boy you know will also!

1. Everything he needs to make his own beer in his kitchen - Beer Making Kit from the Brooklyn Brew Shop $40. 2. An awesome cookbook with recipes from tons of great brooklyn restaurants...Franny's...Dumont...Marlow and Sons etc etc. The New Brooklyn Cookbook via Amazon $26.40 new. 3. A cute minimalist japanese backpack by Nanamica via Trés Bien Shop $188. 4. I always want to surprise someone with perfect concert tickets, but my timing has always been off. The Get Up Kids anyone?? I am still super bummed about missing the Something to Write Home About tour last year....that would have been a nice present... 5. A fancy shave and haircut from Freeman's Sporting Club Barber with a bottle of D. R. Harris Aftershave Milk - $38. 6. A cute button up by Wood Wood from Creatures of Comfort $155

Xmas Gift Guide Pt. 1

Ohhhh the degree to how much I love Christmas shopping is kind of crazy. I'm excited that it's finally an appropriate time to have it on the brain, because I usually start my hunting around mid-October. Getting things for my family and boyfriend is (oh I am so virtuous!) definitely more enjoyable than the receiving end. Inspired by the lovely Joanna's yearly gift guide, I decided to take a stab at it too. Pt 1. - My sisters (and good for a girl-friend/girlfriend too)

1. Adorable calendar by The Wild Unkown $30, 2. A gorgeous, sculptural pinata by Confetti System $150. I would love this hanging in my room (they also have the most incredible garlands!) 3. And the woodsy prism (also The Wild Unknown) $60-$85 - haunt their website! the most perfect things, and they have holiday specials too. 4. A chubby alpaca&wool neck warmer by Greenpoint's Pipsqueak Chapeau $120. 5. Teeny vintage heart earrings from Day Lab $4. 6. A mix CD - this is one of the my favorite gifts to give and receive! 7. A customized bottle of Le Labo's most beautiful perfume. Their scents are mixed one at a time and they will (so amazing!) customize the bottle with the receivers name. 8. A cool knit headband by Hortensia from OAK. $122. I really want ones of theesssee

Okay, so I know its much easier as a girl to shop for a girl, but expect a couple more gift guides to come with ideas for the hardest people to shop for
