The MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) Store always has many unique gift ideas for that person on your list who has everything. They even have a breakdown by gifts less than $50 and gifts $50 – $100.
The store also has a holiday section, including their fantastic holiday cards.

I was pretty excited this morning to visit Blik’s website and find snowflake wall decals.
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Put blik snowflakes on your wall or front window. Shovel not required.
I think they’ve had them in the past which would make these a reintroduction for the holiday season. They are $35 for 16 decals in your choice of white, white and blue or blue and gray. Of course, I ordered them immediately. Blik is a line of “self-adhesive wall decals” that you can affix to almost any flat, smooth surface.

I want to tell you about my most favorite Christmas album in the whole wide world. It is Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters
.
I have to thank my parents for this one, because I grew up listening to it, and I don’t think it would be Christmas without Karen Carpenter’s voice. The album runs the gamut of holiday sounds (classical, popular, even instrumental), and thus I often say it’s the only Christmas album you need. I consider it pretty timeless, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

RetailMeNot.com is a great site that collects online coupon codes for many popular websites. Users can submit codes and report successes or failures.

I’ve used codes from this site multiple times at American Eagle, and it’s always worked great for me. Another bonus is not having to leave the house to do your Christmas shopping!
