## Bracelet Flask

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2015/11/braceletflask.jpg)

It's a bracelet! It's a flask! IT'S A BRACELET-FLASK! [It's brilliant, and it's $34.95 at CB2](https://www.cb2.com/bracelet-flask/s547803?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Boden Homewares: Aprons, Ornaments, Oven Mitts

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/boden-homewares-gift-guide.jpg)

Yes, BODEN HAS HOMEWARES. There are all sorts of good things there. [Like these aprons, for instance, which are $28](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-New-In/Christmas/AD219/Womens-Mini-Apron?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I couldn't decide which of those two patterns I love the most, so it's a good thing both come [in a $28 conjoined oven mitt thingy](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Christmas-Homeware/AD220-IVO/Christmas-London-Winter-Print-Oven-Glove.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) as well. And [the trio of ornaments, for $38](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-New-In/Christmas/AV108/Womens-Slogan-Ornament.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), would bring some very unexpected colors to your holiday shrubbery, if you employ one. Boden isn't always cheap, for sure, but the good news is that means the quality reflects that.

## Gold Shearling Slippers

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/goldslippers.jpg)

Gold slippers! These seem cozy AND glamorous, which is my own personal main aim when shuffling out to get the paper in the morning. Give someone warm, snazzy feet [thanks to J Crew, where these are $55](https://www.jcrew.com/gift-guide/Womens/PRDOVR~E4141/E4141.jsp?color%5Fname=dark-gold&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (And J Crew will totally have a sale post-Thanksgiving, if these aren't already on sale right now.)

## Goldbely.com Cards/Food Boxes: Prices Vary

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/primanti-brothers-goldbely.jpg)

[Goldbely](https://www.goldbely.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) is a site through which you can order delectable, regionally famous foodstuffs from across the U.S. Not just the famous New Yorkers, like Magnolia or Milk Bar; there's all KINDS of delicious stuff on here, from BBQ to specialty pickles and condiments to burgers to [a 24-pound three-layer cake where EACH LAYER IS ITSELF A CAKE WHAT IS THIS MADNESS](https://www.goldbely.com/3-brothers-bakery/15520-pumpecapple?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), to what you see on the left. This picture is of a Primanti Bros. sandwich, a.k.a. the edible gem of Pittsburgh. It's meat, french fries, tomato, and a no-mayo tangy coleslaw all piled together between slices of white bread. It began as practicality -- so that truckers could get a square meal that was easily edible with one hand on the wheel -- but continues as a delicious, delicious festival of yes. We ordered this last year -- my husband is from Pittsburgh, so along with Iron City Beer, this is his most-missed treat -- and the shipped version (with instructions) TOTALLY stands up to the ones you get at the restaurant or the ball park. I was happily surprised.

So, you can order someone a [Goldbely gift box](https://www.goldbely.com/goldbely-gift-cards?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) or [e-gift-card](https://www.goldbely.com/gift%5Fcards/new?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and let them pick what they want.

Or you can just pass Go and order them [the Primanti's sandwich pack. Yes, it's $99, but it comes with enough for four sandwiches AND one t-shirt](https://www.goldbely.com/primanti-bros/15428-pittsburgh-party-pack?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It is the best.

## Plaid Blanket Scarf

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/asosblanketscarf.jpg)

If you follow the same style bloggers I do, you have seen many of them wrapped up in a giant plaid blanket scarf, and the thing is: they are cute and also they are warm. [This one is $33 at Asos](https://us.asos.com/ASOS-Oversized-Square-Scarf-In-White-Based-Check/175egy/?iid=5267276&cid=6452&sh=0&pge=3&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=White&totalstyles=269&gridsize=3&utm%5Fsource=Affiliate&utm%5Fmedium=LinkShare&utm%5Fcontent=USNetwork.1&utm%5Fcampaign=QFGLnEolOWg&link=15&promo=307314&source=linkshare&MID=35719&affid=2135&channelref=Affiliate&pubref=QFGLnEolOWg&siteID=QFGLnEolOWg-S37VYYtJPxKdwB36SQeKdw&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1PdmVyc2l6ZWQtU3F1YXJlLVNjYXJmLUluLVdoaXRlLUJhc2VkLUNoZWNrL1Byb2Qv).

## Cities Coaster Set

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/cities-coaster-set-03.jpg)

I love Rifle Paper Co's aesthetic, and this is a lovely hostess gift/a good gift for that friend of yours who is lovably obsessed with protecting the finish on her tables. I own these and they're really charming in person. [Currently on sale for $13.60 for a set of eight at Rifle Paper Co](https://riflepaperco.com/cities-coaster-set/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but definitely look more spendy to me.

## Downton Abbey mugs on Etsy

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/downton-abbey-mugs-gift-guide.jpg)

I love a mug. I don't even drink coffee, or really tea. But I might start, because I have lots of mugs and I always want more, and I enjoy holding them while warm things are inside. (Part of the reason Fat November rolls so seamlessly into Obese December is that my fix comes almost solely from hot chocolate.)

ANYWAY. I got a kick out of these three offerings from Etsy, celebrating our beloved Dowager Countess. NEVER LEAVE US, VIOLET.

*\-Heather*

[**I'm A Woman. I Can Be As Contrary As I Choose**](https://www.etsy.com/listing/175757109/downton-abbey-dowager-countess-im-a?ga%5Forder=most%5Frelevant&ga%5Fsearch%5Ftype=all&ga%5Fview%5Ftype=gallery&ga%5Fsearch%5Fquery=downton%20abbey&ref=sr%5Fgallery%5F1): $15

[**Vulgarity Is No Substitute For Wit**](https://www.etsy.com/listing/238008222/new-downton-abbey-vulgarity?ga%5Forder=most%5Frelevant&ga%5Fsearch%5Ftype=all&ga%5Fview%5Ftype=gallery&ga%5Fsearch%5Fquery=downton%20abbey&ref=sr%5Fgallery%5F5): $14

## Awesome Corkscrew

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/corkscrew.jpg)

Wouldn't it be nice to give someone a fancy corkscrew, with or without an accompanying bottle of wine? Good for a hostess gift OR for the wino you love. This also comes in gold and silver, [and it's $28-$32 at Anthro, depending on which metal you choose](https://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopgifts-under-fifty/29419827.jsp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#/).

*\- Jessica*

## Bunny Slippers

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/bunnyslippers.jpg)

These velvet bunny slippers (!!) are for children, but the sizes go up through adult size 7, and they are so cute, I can barely stand it. [They also come in pink, baby blue, and red, and are $24 at Boden](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Girls-1H-12yrs-Nightwear/54013/Girls-1H-12yrs-Velvet-Bunny-Slippers.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They are going FAST, so do not tarry on this one.

*\- Jessica*

## Champagne Pendant

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/champerspendant.jpg)

OF COURSE Kate Spade would come out with a tiny pendant that looks like a champagne bottle. I can't believe it's taken this long! [Pop that cork for $58 at Kate Spade](https://www.katespade.com/products/fete-first-champagne-mini-pendant/WBRUB635.html?cgid=ks-novelty-pieces&dwvar%5FWBRUB635%5Fcolor=673&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#cm%5Fsp=home112315-%5F-home-%5F-noveltymonetate&start=12&cgid=ks-novelty-pieces).

*\- Jessica*

## Classic Plaid Thermos

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/classicthermos.jpg)

I am all about this classic plaid Thermos -- I think I've recommended it before, even. Not only is it delightfully retro, but a Thermos is a really nice thing to have around. You can bring soup to lunch! You can carry coffee EVERYWHERE. [It's $29.95 at Madewell](https://www.madewell.com/madewell%5Fcategory/HOMEGIFT/PRDOVR~E6771/E6771.jsp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

*\- Jessica*

## Harry Potter Wrapped Pencils

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/harrypotterpencils.jpg)

You OBVIOUSLY know someone who would be DELIGHTED to get a set of pencils that have been wrapped in pages from Harry Potter. [These are $10 for 5 pencils at Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/62845490/harry-potter-1-wrapped-pencil-set?ref=related-2), and the [shop in question, Bouncing Ball Creations](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bouncingballcreation?ref=l2-shopheader-name), offers them for a variety of different Harry Potter books, and does the same thing for other books as well (I noticed *Beezus and Ramona*, *Nancy Drew*, a variety of Shakespeare, and *Pride and Prejudice*).

*\- Jessica*

## Star Wars Light-Up Light Sabre Popsicle Maker: $34.50 on Amazon

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/star-wars-popsicle-maker-gift-guide.jpg)

HURRY, because [Amazon says there are only three left](https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Glowing-Lightsaber-Maker/dp/B00B3YJ6OI?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), although you might be able to find them elsewhere (ThinkGeek ALSO seemed to be sold out). My sister bought these for the beans for their birthday, and they are a HUGE HIT. It comes with two red Vader sabres and two green Luke sabres (the color of his new one in Return of the Jedi, dontcha know), and I advise using lemonade to make the pops so you get maximum light-enjoyment.

*\-Heather*

## Whimsical Fox Sweater

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/foxsweater.jpg)

Who doesn't like a whimsical fox sweater? It's on the pricier side for this guide, [at $138 at Boden, but you (or, you know, whoever) are worth it!](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Sweaters/WV057/Womens-Animal-Intarsia-Sweater.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It also comes in Grey Polar Bear and Navy Owl.

*\- Jessica*

## Faux Fur Throw

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/fauxfurthrow.jpg)

SOMEONE obviously needs a faux fur throw. It might be YOU, personally, which is none of my business. [As I type this, it's on sale at West Elm for $64](https://www.westelm.com/products/faux-fur-ombre-stripe-throw-redwood-t2166/?pkey=cgifts-100-under&&cgifts-100-under&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). So cozy! So Alexis Carrington.

## Bacon Jigsaw Puzzle: $17.95 from Serious Puzzles

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/bacon-puzzle-gift-guide.jpg)

I cannot resist a puzzle, and I rarely can resist bacon. [BEHOLD, THE UNION OF TWO PASSIONS](https://www.seriouspuzzles.com/bacon-101-1000pc-jigsaw-puzzle-by-white-mountain.html?utm%5Fsource=google%5Fshopping&gclid=CKqn7c3joMkCFZRefgod2%5FEBaQ).

*\- Heather*

## Pencil Jigsaw: $13.95 from Serious Puzzles

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/pencil-jigsaw-puzzle-gift-guide.jpg)

This says it's a difficult puzzle -- [and it does look it](https://www.seriouspuzzles.com/pencil-collage-1000pc-hard-jigsaw-puzzle-by-white-mountain.html?utm%5Fsource=google%5Fshopping&gclid=CIvW%5FL2zpckCFYZBfgodjfkFVQ) \-- so I probably need to have it immediately. I REALLY like puzzles, y'all. One of my sisters and I used to do them together ALL THE TIME when I was a kid, and she'd make up stories about all the pictures. I may have told you that before. Did I tell you one of the stories was about the Peanuts characters dissolving in acid rain? The best. With apologies to Schroder, who also once got eaten by a shark.

*\- Heather*

## Bicycle Puzzle: $25 from Pop Chart Lab

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/bicycles-jigsaw.jpeg)

I love Pop Chart Lab's stuff. I got Jessica their typewriter puzzle -- not this year, so that isn't a spoiler -- and I think [this one is extremely good-looking as well, whether or not Derek Zoolander would agree](https://popchartlab.com/collections/housewares-puzzles/products/the-evolution-of-bicycles-puzzle?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Oh, and also, if you still need a Jigboard, this company makes them in 500-piece, [1000-piece](https://www.amazon.com/JIGBOARD-1000-Jigsaw-puzzle-Jigthings/dp/B000LI8LXE/ref=sr%5F1%5F2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1448328242&sr=1-2&keywords=jigboard&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and 1500-piece versions; I got the big dog and I love it.)

## A Comprehensive Curtain Call of Broadway Costumes: $29 unframed, from Pop Chart Lab

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/broadway-poster-costumes-gift-guide.jpg)

The same company also has [this gorgeous ode to theatre costumes, and yes, the last ones on there are Hedwig and Alexander Hamilton](https://popchartlab.com/products/a-comprehensive-curtain-call-of-broadway-costumes?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Don't throw away your shot.

*\- Heather*

## Glamorous Stapler

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/Design_Darling_Acrylic_Stapler_bafec4c9-d43a-404a-ad1d-062384be3711.jpg)

So, I have an obsession with office supplies, even though I never work at my actual desk. Don't you know someone who needs a gold stapler? [You do, and this Kate Spade version is $28 at Design Darling](https://www.designdarling.com/collections/desktop/products/acrylic-stapler?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

*\- Jessica*

## Cute Polka Dot Jammies

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/jammies.jpg)

Old Navy is a great go-to for cute jammies for dudes and ladies alike, and EVERYONE enjoys getting more cute jammies. This polka dot set is [currently $29.94, and it also comes in a Breton stripe](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1043322&vid=1&pid=750055012&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)!

*\- Jessica*

## Lap Loom Kit

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/loomkit.jpg)

This is totally the sort of thing I really wanted as a nine year old girl who THOUGHT she was all crafty but who really just liked the IDEA of being a crafty person. Does that make sense? REGARDLESS: I would have loved this as a kid. [It's $44.95 at the Met Museum Store](https://store.metmuseum.org/creativity+play/lap-loom-kit/invt/13080999?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (They ALSO have [a REALLY AWESOME child's table loom that is $125](https://store.metmuseum.org/creativity+play/easy-weaver-loom-kit/invt/13045448?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), in case you are passionately committed to children's looms. Maybe get the cheaper one if you suspect your child, like me, just harbors FANTASIES of being a weaver and no actual interest in real weaving.)

*\- Jessica*

## Minimergency Kit: $16 at Pinch Provisions

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/minimergency-kit-gift-guide.jpg)

[These kits are full of odds and ends that can solve your on-the-fly problems](https://www.pinchprovisions.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), like two spare earrings backs (!!), breath spray, safety pins and a needle and thread, deodorant towelettes... and the case options are bright and vibrant. They come in three sizes: the regular Mini (17 items), a Skinny Minimergency with 22 items for $24, which is designed for clutches, and a larger $35 one for big bags and/or big emergencies that packs a whopping $40 things. There are gold cases, cute patterns, and some shiny solids that have cute zipper pulls. The red one with the fortune cookie is my personal favorite.

Oh, and also, these are sold a variety of places -- including Sephora -- if you want to Google and find a retailer that gels with your wallet's various rewards programs.

*\- Heather*

## Marvis Toothpaste Sampler Kit

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/marvis_gift_set_800.jpg)

I may be the only weirdo who really wants this, but on the off chance that you know another weirdo who is obsessed with fancy toothpaste -- and you might! -- [C.O. Bigelow has a sampler kit of Marvis Toothpaste (so fancy, so expensive) for $36](https://www.bigelowchemists.com/gifts/2015-holiday-season/marvis-flavor-collection-gift-set.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Also nice for anyone who travels a lot.

*\- Jessica*

## Mittens!

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/mittens.jpg)

This hat and mittens set is SO CUTE. You guys, the mittens have FINGER PUPPETS ON EACH FINGER. I have really small hands. This would fit me. Can a 40 year old woman...no, I can't. But your adorable daughter or niece or neighbor or goddaughter or granddaughter or special friend can totally get away with this. [The set is $34 at Boden](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Christmas-Gifts-under-$60/Girls/53007/Christmas-Novelty-Hat-and-Mittens-Set.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Be Kind, Rewind Thank You Notes

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/THANKYOUNOTES.jpg)

I LOVE getting thank you note sets, and they always make a good stocking stuffer, or hostess gift. I also tend to grab a few packs of particularly cute ones to keep on hand, in case I find myself in a situation where I've forgotten to get someone a gift, or need a last minute present. These notes, from La Familia Green, are SO CUTE. [$12 for a pack of 6, at Etsy.](https://www.etsy.com/listing/129545114/be-kind-vhs-thank-you-6pack?ref=shop%5Fhome%5Factive%5F20&ga%5Fsearch%5Fquery=thank) (This is the same Etsy shop that used to make those William Or Harry? notecards, which I think I bought out all over the Internet.)

*\- Jessica*

## Breton Stripe Tote

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/STRIPEDSHIRTTOTE.jpg)

Doesn't someone you know really love blue and white striped shirts? Wouldn't that someone love a tote covered in said shirts? I own this tote, and it's very good quality and really cute in person. [It's $48 at Crab & Cleek](https://www.crabandcleek.com/shop/french-sailor-shirt?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (They also have totes covered in tennis rackets, or snow shoes, or vintage thermoses, and all manner of other uber-preppy things.)

*\- Jessica*

## Striped Notebook

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/stripednotebook.jpg)

Despite how much we all do electronically, my personal experience is that everyone loves to get a pretty notebook. [This one is $10 at Sugar Paper (which has lovely lovely stationery in general)](https://sugarpaper.com/collections/notebooks-notepads/products/white-cabana-stripe-notebook?variant=4091412801&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

*\- Jessica*

## Commemorative Royal Mug

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/royalmug.jpg)

Every year, I recommend a VERY FANCY commemorative royal mug, for my fellow commemorative mug lovers. This one celebrates QE2's record as longest reigning British monarch and it is -- DO NOT DO THE EXCHANGE IN YOUR HEAD -- [39 pounds at the Royal Collection](https://www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/chinaware/mugs-and-tankards/longest-reigning-monarch-tankard.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They have more reasonable -- STILL DON'T DO THE EXCHANGE -- [mugs celebrating a variety of things](https://www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk/chinaware/mugs-and-tankards.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), in fact. As I've noted before, the Royal Collection's boxes and wrapping for these mugs/tankards is also very nice indeed.

*\- Jessica*

## Glamorous French Press

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/westelmfrenchpress.jpg)

For the stylish coffee drinker on your list, West Elm to the rescue! [The French Press sells for $60, the set of two mugs is $30, and the creamer/sugar set is also $30](https://www.westelm.com/products/bodum-copper-coffee-set-d3106/?pkey=cgifts-100-under&&cgifts-100-under&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You can really splash out and get the whole thing, of course, but I feel like that any of those on their own, or a combo of any of the three (mugs and press, press and creamer, etc), would be lovely.

*\- Jessica*

## Star Wars kitsch at ThinkGeek

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/1bfb_han_solo_carbonite_shower_curtain.jpg)

ThinkGeek has some good stuff this year for people like me, whose children will be getting Star Wars EVERYTHING. My eye went straight to this [Han Solo Frozen In Carbonite shower curtain ($24)](https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1bfb/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but there's also [a $29 candlestick shaped like a lightsabre](https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e9fe/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [some $11 glasses that, when cold liquid is poured into them, reveal the Hoth battle scene from Empire Strikes Back](https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/imnq/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I mean, there's more. So much more. Should I buy the Han Solo shower curtain and not TELL the boys and just put it up in their bathroom? Is that mean or awesome?

## Plaid Sleep Mask

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/plaidsleepmask.jpg)

Everyone can use a plaid sleep mask. [This is $19.50 at J Crew](https://www.jcrew.com/gift-guide/Womens/PRDOVR~C0707/C0707.jsp?color%5Fname=haven-blue-silver&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Nope Mug: $16 from Blue Ribbon General Store

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/12197.jpg)

I know I already put in a bunch of mugs, but sometimes, [this particular one represents best how I feel](https://blueribbongeneralstore.com/product/nope-mug/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Most times, even. I cannot even count the number of times I've said it TODAY to the beans, who just want to play the Wii all day. Say it with me: NOPE.

## GiGi NYC Zip Pouch

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/GiGi-NYC-Zip-Pouch.jpg)

I am really obsessed with keeping my carry-on bag organized with a bunch of classy leather zip pouches, and use one like this for my prescriptions, and one for my cords and whatnot. (That's on the way to wherever I am going. On the way home, I just throw everything in the bag and hope for the best.) [This one is currently $55 at GiGi New York](https://www.giginewyork.com/Poppy-Zip-Pouch-Embossed-Python-p/pc4-pyy-pop.htm?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) **BUT as I noted, we're getting a coupon code for them NEXT WEEK (or so -- we'll be posting about it when it's valid)**, so maybe put it into your shopping cart and see if you can wait it out?

## Wine Cardigan

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/winecardigan.jpg)

This looks like a VERY COZY Wine Cardigan, courtesy of those wine cardigan enthusiasts over at the Gap. As I type this, [it's $48.96, and selling FAST (comes in two other cozy colors).](https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8993&vid=1&pid=718322022&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Assorted Goods From Fishs Eddy

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/fishseddy-gift-guide-2.jpg)

This is a shop in Manhattan that has all kinds of quirky, gifty things for your kitchen-obsessed friends/self. Again, obviously, I had a hard time editing, which comes as no surprise to anyone who reads this site OR read "The Royal We" and/or heard our first draft was 800 pages.

Top left is [the "Under The Influence" set of four glasses](https://www.fishseddy.com/glassware/under-the-influence-gift-box.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that celebrate the inebriates among us ($31 for four, or $7.50 singly). There's also this ["Rest In Grease" spoon rest](https://www.fishseddy.com/catalog/product/view/id/38068/s/rest-in-grease-spoon-rest/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that keeps your kitchen tidier AND gives good wordplay.

In the middle: There's something sickly amusing to me about serving people food on [a tray that announces a sanitary grade of B](https://www.fishseddy.com/catalog/product/view/id/2365/s/health-grade--quot-b-quot--tray/category/222/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (it's $19.95), and next to it, [three plaid storage jars](https://www.fishseddy.com/glassware/plaid-storage-jars-set-of-3.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that I just thought were cuter than your average mason ($24 for three, or $8 singly).

On the bottom, we have [the Amy Sedaris "I Like You" platter](https://www.fishseddy.com/catalog/product/view/id/8199/s/amy-sedaris--quot-i-like-you-quot--oval-tray-in-gift-box/category/228/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), for $24.95\. And finally, if you are an Alan Cumming super fan -- and why NOT? -- [this last set of glasses is called Club Cumming](https://www.fishseddy.com/glassware/club-cumming-gift-box-set-of-4.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), designed as a tribute to his apparently legendary post-Cabaret parties at Studio 54\. A portion of every sale will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and also, you'll have a small if indirect piece of Alan Cumming in your house. WIN.

## Ukelele Making Kit

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/ukelelekit.jpg)

The reviews for this product indicate that perhaps it doesn't PLAY as well as a ukelele made by...you know, a professional ukelele maker, but that as a piece of art/craft-y project, it's a hoot. That seems about right. [It's $46 at Urban Outfitters](https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=32228983&category=GIFT-HIM-LASTMIN&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Ron Swanson Shirt: $20-30 based on choice of style, from Redbubble

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/ron-Swanson-t-shirt.jpg)

Speaking of people who would WHOLLY approve of you making your own musical instruments: Ron Swanson forever. [These are available in any color, and just about any cut](https://www.redbubble.com/people/zcrb/works/17542088-swanson?grid%5Fpos=4&p=t-shirt&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). And if you search "Lil Sebastian" on this same site, you'll also get the chance to own something with that tiny hero's face on it. There is, essentially, a shirt for everything on Redbubble. [Including Tom Hiddleston in a flower wreath](https://www.redbubble.com/people/songoftheriver/works/11975088-tom-hiddleston?grid%5Fpos=3&p=t-shirt&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). With this same bemused model.

## Rosebud Salve Set

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/rosesalve.jpg)

Can ANYONE have too much lip balm? The answer is NO. [This gift set is $16 at Urban Outfitters](https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=31790793&category=SHOP%5FSTOCKINGSTUFFERS&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Kitty Ring Dish

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/kittycatdish.jpg)

Surely there is someone on your list who needs a wee kitty cat dish in which to store rings. So cute on your dresser! [It's $22 at Catbird (where you might also fall into a hole and accidentally buy a bunch of jewelry).](https://www.catbirdnyc.com/home-gifts/perfect-gifts/kitten-keepy-ring-dish.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

## St. Jude Gold Heart Pillow: $49 at West Elm

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/st-jude-embellished-jingle-pillow-cover-heart-c.jpg)

[A lot for a throw pillow](https://www.westelm.com/products/st-judes-embellished-jingle-pillow-cover-heart-t2088/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-poufs%7C%7C&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but 50 percent of the purchase price goes to St. Jude Children's Hospital, and we love children, so.

## Bracelet

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/bracelet.jpg)

This bracelet is subtle and charming -- check out the pictures of it on the model at Asos -- [and it's only $26.87](https://www.asos.com/Selected-Femme/Selected-Femme-Bali-Bracelet/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5918369&cid=4175&Rf989=4913&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Gold&totalstyles=242&gridsize=3&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Champagne Water Bottle

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/champagnebottle.jpg)

I might drink more water if I had a glamorous gold stainless steel water bottle. (The appeal of matching my water bottle to my iPhone is so powerful that I can barely resist buying this for myself right now.) [Comes in three sizes (and various colors, actually, including a wood grain for the more rustic on your list), ranging from $25-$45, at Nordstrom](https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/swell-sparkling-champagne-stainless-steel-water-bottle/4048102?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=3675&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

## Carry On Cocktail Kit

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/carryoncocktailkit.jpg)

It's the holidays. You are traveling. It's highly possible you need a drink. BE CIVILIZED ABOUT IT. These totally freaking charming cocktail kits can be carried on the plane -- hence the name -- and you can be your own mixologist in the air. (You have to get the booze from the flight attendant.) [Each kit makes two drinks, and costs $24\. You can get kits for the Moscow Mule, the G&T, or the Old Fashioned.](https://wandpdesign.com/pages/carryoncocktailkit?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Cheers! (You can also really splash out and get The Travel Pack, which is all three kits in a leather/canvas dopp bag if you need to. No judgement.)

## Monthly Cocktail Kit: $49.99 from Instapour

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/instapour-giftguide.jpg)

And for home use... Seems pricey, until you consider what you'd spend on even TWO cocktails if you went out and bought them at a bar. [This kit comes with enough ingredients to make six specialty cocktails per month, I believe (the description says "6 -14," which seems... strange? Is it supposed to read "6 14-oz" cocktails?)](https://shop.instapour.com/collections/cocktail-delivery-subscription-and-on-demand/products/monthly-cocktail-kit-subscription?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which sounds like a great way to fill up your new bracelet flask. Or, for $48, [you can order six spicy cucumber margaritas made with Intern George's tequila](https://shop.instapour.com/collections/cocktail-delivery-subscription-and-on-demand/products/casamigos-margarita-cocktail-delivery-spicy-cucumber?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but personally we're waiting for him to make them for us HIS OWN DAMN SELF.

## Pleated Turban

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/turban.jpg)

EVERY year, I suggest a turban for your gift-giving needs, and this year is no different. [It's pleated! It's wacky! It's only $21.50! Turban it up!](https://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Pleated-Turban-Hat/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5712539&cid=6449&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi&totalstyles=217&gridsize=3&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Thanks, Asos!

## My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/ruthreichl.jpg)

Did you know that Ruth Reichl had a new book out? She does! It got great reviews, and [made the Kramerbooks Best Cookbooks list (I love Kramerbooks so much)](https://kramers.com/blog/kramerbooks%E2%80%99-holiday-gift-guide-cookbooks?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so I feel reasonable recommending it here without having read it yet. At bookstores everywhere, surely!

## Benihana Be The Chef: $140

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/benihana-gift-guide-2015.jpg)

I am mostly putting this in so we can discuss the fact that it even EXISTS, because $140 is a lot. But I don't know who you're shopping for, or what your budget is. I'm not judging. [Also, it's dinner for four, starring your recipient of choice AS THE CHEF (after a training course, obviously)](https://www.benihana.com/be-the-chef/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Think of the blackmail photos and/or video! Think of the ability to make a steaming onion tower for the rest of your life! Think of the chef's toque! The possibilities are expanding my universe right now, in part because my local Benihana is the same one where Tori Spelling fell on the Hibachi and burned herself -- a celebrity Mad Lib of a headline if ever I've heard one.

## Bamboo Board with Catch-All Drawer: $28.02 on Houzz

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/cutting-board-houzz.jpg)

[This just seemed useful?](https://www.houzz.com/photos/28699548/Bamboo-Cutting-Board-With-Tray-Green-contemporary-cutting-boards?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I don't know. Drawers! Cutting! Dishwasher-safe things! Happy holidays.

## The Obsessive Chef Cutting Board: $20 on Amazon

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/obsessive-chef-gift-guide.jpg)

[I DO have this cutting board](https://www.amazon.com/Fred-Friends-OBSESSIVE-Cutting-12-inch/dp/B004TEZD64/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1448326343&sr=1-1&keywords=obsessive+chef&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It's not enormous, but it's fun in case you ever overthink how big your dice, chop, or julienne is, or you're sick of approximating how much is an inch of ginger root.

## Hamilton by Ron Chernow

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/hamilton.jpg)

Don't you think your friend who is obsessed with *Hamilton* The Musical would like a copy of *Hamilton* The Book? The paperback is selling like mad -- Ron Chernow must want to kiss Lin-Manuel Miranda -- [and it's only $13.06 at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Hamilton-Ron-Chernow/dp/0143034758/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448140544&sr=8-1&keywords=hamilton&tag=rnwap-20&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and surely also sitting on a table right as you walk into your local bookstore, if you have one.

## Will It Waffle: $8.22 on Amazon

![gfy gift guide 2015](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/2014-09-08-Will-It-Waffle-1.jpg)

Kevin LOVES waffles, so I bought him this last year, thinking it was more of an experimental book where you try a bunch of crazy shit and see if it waffles. [It's actually a cookbook, though](https://www.amazon.com/Will-Waffle-Irresistible-Unexpected-Recipes/dp/0761176462/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448238058&sr=8-1&keywords=will+it+waffle&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), so it's more like... YES IT WILL WAFFLE. But it's good! For that absurd price (AND it's Prime eligible), it's worth it for the waffled fries alone, which are stupid-easy and rather buttery and delish. We once served them with chili instead of corn chips, and I'm not sorry, and nor was anyone else.

## The Royal We

![gfy-2015-gift-guide](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/11/Heather-Cocks-Jessica-Morgan-TheRoyalWe.jpeg)

Duh. Our publisher would be very peevish with us if we didn't also kindly suggest you purchase *The Royal We* for literally every human you know. Of course, we advise you pop into your local bookstore and buy it there -- the better to browse what other good stuff they've got -- but call to make sure they've got it, as it's been out a while.

And for your online ordering ease, [the book is currently $16.54 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Royal-We-Heather-Cocks/dp/1455557102/ref=tmm%5Fhrd%5Fswatch%5F0?%5Fencoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (and SHOULD be in stock; we've having issues with that for reasons that are inexplicable to me; if it's not in stock this sec, they swear it will be by Black Friday), and [about the same price at Barnes & Noble, who *definitely* have it](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-royal-we-heather-cocks/1120876934?ean=9781455557103&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

PS: On the Treat Yo Self Note, it's also [currently $3.99 for Kindle](https://www.amazon.com/Royal-We-Heather-Cocks-ebook/dp/B00MEMMWGM/ref=tmm%5Fkin%5Fswatch%5F0?%5Fencoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and Nook AND Kobo will be matching that price by the time Black Friday rolls around, so....a word to the wise.
