thinking about christmas & the holidays & the shopping.... oh, the shopping....

in the interest of christmas, i thought i'd do some posts on some cool unusual things i've come across in my wanderings, whether on terra firma or cyberspace.  i do think i have an ability to find some unique & unusual ideas & gifts-  obviously a talent many others share.  but right now it's what i'm focusing on for this post.  which by the way, is being written as i listen to the sound of the waves outside our rental in rodanthe, north carolina- we've got the sliders open on the ocean-facing decks & it sounds heavenly.  so here's a couple of kind of cool things i've come across that i've not yet seen elsewhere- though they are probably elsewhere, also!

first up is the coffee mug-  now this is the part of the coffee mug that needs to be decorated, i think....







i came across this coffee mug at www.thorstenvanelton.com- there was lots of relatively cool stuff on the site- unfortunately, this is a british enterprise, so not so cost effective for the good ol' US of A.  but i think the mug would be a hit for lots of people.  

how about this for a very cool bathtub drain stopper- 
gives one the sense of being somewhere tropical....
