Buy…
… one of these adorable Momiji `creatures for your daughter. Or son, I suppose. There is even a space inside for you to slip a little note. I’m definitely getting one for Kitty’s stocking. I particularly like Miss Rainbow and Chicky.

Not sure whether you take requests, but would you consider posting on Christmas presents for husbands/boyfriends (new ones in particular arrrgh)? The kind that have lots of stuff and if they want something they just buy it for themselves? So stressful. I feel as though you would have something v valuable to contribute in this area.
Crumbs, L, this is an area fraught with difficulty. Gift guides are so hard to do and, I think, rarely work because the best gift is always individual and thoughtful and you can’t do that for someone you don’t know.
