Emergency Gift Giving Guide!

No, whatever junk you can pick up at the airport during the two thiry-minute layovers (the $54.00 you saved on that double-connecting fare wasn't really worth it in the end, was it?) does not constitute a real gift. But don't fret, we're here to save your holly jolly. Now, find a seat nearest to your gate, open that laptop and start shopping our online store. Ready, set...go!

Mom: A hand-blown glass vase from Michael Ruh, and how about some flowers to go in it. (And yes, you should have called more often.)

Dad: Schleeh's Bachelor Pad No. 3, because even though he is no longer a bachelor, he still loves to leave sticky notes for himself all over the house (not to mention walk around in his underwear in front of your friends).

Big 'Sis: A hot pink mini address book from Graphic Image for her to store all the latest info on that boyfriend of the week.

Little 'Sis: Tigo colored pencil sets in a suede travel pouch. Hey, the need to color can hit you any time, anywhere.

Brother: A boxed set of 3 x 2 inch cards that say just one simple phrase: STOP TALKING. They're so genius he'll wish he thought of them himself. Perfect for handing out at dinner parties, work Christmas parties, or to your sisters. This is one gift that keeps on giving!

Aunt Betty in NYC: A white earthenware bird feeder from Perch! Fits perfectly in her fire escape, which the neighbors downstairs appreciate, too.

Aunt Betti in SC: A handy tool-belt style canvas apron from Hable Construction—those award-winning tea roses don't just prune themselves, you know...or so you've heard at length every time you visit.

Your boss: Well now, we don't see why those STOP TALKING cards wouldn't fit in this category as well...
