Holiday Gifts for the High Brows, HEivas, and Homebodies!

Holiday Pollyanna dead-line closing in on your calendar? Got a "difficult to shop for person" on your gift list? Plagued by the the person who has everything, needs nothing, the scrooge, or just plain running out of inspiration for gift ideas this Holiday?

Well, we feel ya. So, we came up with a few cool gift ideas that you can shop for online on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or any time your heart desires. If these gifts don't work for you, then they will certainly inspire new ideas that will make your Holiday shopping a huge success this year!

The Imelda Marcos Wannabe

Zappos - Just say the word "Zappos" to me and I get that warm fuzzy feeling all over! Why not give the gift of Zappos in the form of warm and fuzzy slippers to your favorite guy or gal on your Holiday gift list? Here are two slippers under $50 but there are many under $30. The Zappos return policy is the best, too!

The Acorn Slipper Sock

The Acorn Polar Moc

The Drinker

Silicon Ice Cube Trays- This is a fantastic idea for the Cocktail Mixologist on your Holiday gift list. Silicon ice trays make fabulous ice cubes for the perfect drink. They come in all shapes and sizes. Many of these trays are  under $14.00. Here are a few I love.

Williams Sonoma
Cocktail Kingdom

The High Brow

Monogrammed Stuff - Try His and Hers bath towels or a monogramed pillow. Nothing says "I bought this just for you" quite like a monogrammed gift. West Elm has a monogram shop that is really convenient and offers a variety of gifts and prices.

The Locavore

Farmers Market Baskets - These are the coolest containers ever. In Philadelphia we have several great Farmer's Markets like Headhouse Square and the Rittenhouse Square Farmers Market. I am sure there is a market junkie on your holiday shopping list that will absolutely flip over this gift. Check them out at Jayson Home. They range from $20-$38 each.

The Old Schooler

The 7 Year Pen - Who even writes any more these days? These cute and anything but old-fashioned pens will inspire you to go back to the old days and write a note by hand! This is a great non-tech gift perfect for stocking stuffing or to give alone in a set of 3! At $7.50 each, you can buy a set for all of the people on you Holiday Gift List!

The Diva or The HEiva (we don't discriminate)

Handbag Flat Iron - For the vain and beautiful I have found one of the smallest flat irons sure to keep your fringe, waves and your straight locks looking perfect all of the time, $35.

The Desk Diva

Aphrodite USB Dock - This is the gift I want this holiday season. A fun USB dock, $46.

The Homebody

House Numbers - Ever drive by a house with really cool looking house numbers and wonder where they got them? Well, Chiasso has a few different styles on sale right now! What an awesome gift idea for an apartment or a house, or even as an interior decorative item. Buy them now at Chiasso for only $14.

The Nice Sado-Masochist

HIMALAYA Mat - This is NOT your girlfriend's YOGA mat, boys. This is literally a "Bed of Nails" and perfect gift for the one on your gift list that may be, shall we say difficult to shop for or just plain difficult! But seriously, this mat when used frequently is known to give relief of pain in the body as well as promote overall health. For under $30 on Amazon, it will make an interesting conversation piece and I will bet everyone at the party will want to try it. Namaste, my friends!

Tell us what the coolest gift idea on your shopping list is this year.
