Happy Thanksgiving!

We're celebrating Thanksgiving today in the States by eating lots of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie!  As a result of the food hangover we're going to have, we won't be posting today or tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you want to get your "shop" on, here are some shops offering coupon codes and/or holiday discounts:

Guitar Hero/Rock Star Necklace

If he’d rather cuddle with his guitar than with you than this might be the perfect necklace for him, even if his rock star tendencies lean more towards the video game than real life. Resin pendant with your choice of guitars on a silicone cord shows that you’re not jealous of “her” at all. $24 at underglass on etsy.

Write-on Mug

If you are like me, your mind finally starts to start working once the caffeine starts flowing.  With this cool write on mug you can start to plan your day as the ideas flow.  $9.95 at Extreme Geek

Be Picky - Guitar Pick 3 Tier Chandelier

Rock star meets chandelier.  Love this funky take on a traditional chandelier.  $125 at Be Picky

The Pirate Cupcake T-Shirt

Ooohh! My favorite - pirate!
On choosing cupcakes, when in doubt - always choose pirate. Okay, I admit "always choose pirate" is what I would say regardless of any choice. Choose your Pirate Cupcake shirt from a variety of sizes at Dogbone Art - $20.

Octopus Lamp

He’s cute. He’s really cute. But this octopus lamp is just strange enough that I think he would appeal to guys just as much as girls, which makes for a great meeting in the middle, right? Besides, a little octopus night light is probably more agreeable on all accounts that that Lightning McQueen Cars nightlight he’s been using, right? $58 at Patina.

Gratitude Perfume

It must be something if it's a fragrance you're thankful for! The product literature states that "studies show that Grapefruit essential oil reduces appetite. Also, women wearing Grapefruit essential oil are perceived younger by men" - I'm not so sure about all that, but the combination of grapefruit essential oil and vanilla perfume oil does sound delicious. $50 by Zorica of Malibu at b-glowing.

Pocket Corkscrew

Are you a wine connoisseur or want to pretend to be one?  This pocket corkscrew folds to fit on your key chain or in your purse.  Sadly, I have gone out more than once and brought a bottle of wine to a friend's house or to a bonfire, just to notice when I get there that I forgot a wine opener, and not being able to drink that wine!  $24 at A+R store.

Etched Copper Journal

Goodness, this etched copper journal is so gorgeous that I would be afraid to write in it!  Perfect keepsake and a beautiful gift.  Made to order.  $65 at Moon 23.  Be sure to check out all of the shop's journals (I'm also partial to the x-ray ones!)

Treasure Bird Wooden Cameo Earrings

Utterly adorable birdie earrings!  $30 at Geneieve Gail

Gothic Greeting Cards

These gothic greeting cards remind me of the works of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton.  Love the sense of humor!  $2 each or $19.99 for a pack of 20 at Amaltheas Attic

Shrimp Catnip Toy(s)

Catnip intrigues me. Is there a Doggy equivalent to catnip?  These adorable little shrimps are shaped like.. well, shrimp and are stuffed full of catnip that will certainly bring hours of joy to your cat. $14.95 at Wrapables.com

New Wave Chess Set

The New Wave chess and checkers set is perfect for that jet-setting chess player on the go! Well, actually, the chess pieces slot into the laser-cut corrugated board and the company even claims that it can be played in a windstorm (but they also point out that it is not waterproof or fireproof). What I find most intriguing is that you can stop the game and know that your pieces will remain in the same place…unless someone is cheating. $12 at Paradoxy Products.

Tuberose Diabolique Eau de Parfum

Tuberose has always been one of my favourite scents. This exotic interpretation is a bewitching combination of tuberose, gardenia, amber and dark spices. It contains notes of Indian tuberose, Wild gardenia, Egyptian tuberose, Amber, Exotic spice, White carnation, Bitter orange. $45 for 30ml Eau de Parfum at Ava Luxe.
