Doctor Who 27 Cross Stitch Pattern

Even better than a velvet Elvis!

For those who don't know Doctor Who is a British sci-fi show. My daughter Monkey is obsessed with Doctor Who (plus I think she has a wee little crush on actor David Tennant).  Pattern can be sent on cd or through email and through the end of this month patterns are buy one get one free! Sci-fi not your thing?  Well there is always Elvis ;) $4.49 at Crystalyte's Creations

Customized Gift Cards

If you read our blog then chances are that you are a pretty darn good gift giver.  However, even with a million gift ideas there are still those people that you just don't know well enough to confidently gift.  I always feel a twinge of guilt when I give a gift card.  Yes, everyone likes them but it still kinda seems to taunt "I forget to get you a present so here is a gift card I grabbed at the supermarket on the way over".

That's why I think Gift Card Lab is a cool idea.  You can customize a gift card to send.  You can either choose one of their templates or upload your own picture.  The service is $5.95 but that also includes packaging and shipping.

You'll have an easy gift you know they will love (because seriously, who doesn't love a gift card?) and you will have put thought into it!

Carve Your Own Postcard
