The Unconventional Gift Guide

The holidays are finally over, and might I say - good golly!

While I can notoriously be a little Scrooge once the Motown Christmas songs hit the radio stations on Black Friday - I can usually bite the bullet around the 23rd, throw my hands up, and call it Holiday time.

Holiday traffic, completely desperate Bridge and Tunnel shoppers flocking the city, and that absolutely pressing little voice in your head that says BUY BUY BUY all just make me want to get that shot gun down off the ol’ shelf.

Thankfully we skirt most of the big stores for ourselves and hit the smaller spots for the more unusual. Our absolute joy in shopping for each other for Holidays is the chance to buy some really unique pieces we usually would not splurge on for ourselves.

Here is a taste of our 2011 completely unconventional holiday gift guide.
