Even if you aren't a huge animal lover you have to appreciate this picture from the wonderful blog, View from the Tundra (Minneapolis).
One of my favorite rituals is checking out the weekly updates on Sunday at a cool project website called Post Secret. Co-worker Abbie introduced me and I am pretty much addicted. People write in their secrets on postcards and I thought that this one was really profound. If you are looking for a cool holiday gift they have compiled books, too, and sell them on Amazon. I know I would be ok if Santa brought me one!
ZipHolder is here to save the day!
After visiting Sister over Thanksgiving I found out that she has a serious issue with a zipper on one of her pairs of jeans: it won't stay up. No matter what she does, the sucker slips down repeatedly throughout the day. Well never fear, Sister (and the rest of you who have this pesky problem), Now nifty is that?

A lovely lady I work with sent me this link. Click the box in the corner for an explanation and directions but lets just say that if you are ever stressed and need to space out for a bit, that is the website to check out.
What is one of the best parts of opening presents that come in the mail? BUBBLE WRAP! Well now you can buy a calendar that is made completely out of the fun, popping material. How cool is that?
Alright, last random gift idea: Shticks! Ever wish you could say something to the car next to you or the person at the other end of the subway? These nifty sayings on a stick are the way to go.
The Alpha Man website has tons of cool random things that would be great gifts for those people on your list who already have anything they want and claim they don't need anything more. (Image from www.alpha-man.com)
Last (but DEFINITELY not least) is a cool little story about Lilly's grandpa. He recently started using a wheelchair and thought up the brilliant idea of adding a snow plow to the front of it for clearing his driveway! Check out the video. I think I might invite him over to my house the next time it snows :)

Awesome post!!! I love the thisissand! I also LOVE View From the Tundra. I ordered one of his photos for my boyfriend for Christmas. Fun ideas :)
What Abbie said. I've just wasted ten glorious minutes with the most unlikely shade of pink sand... I'm going to have to take you off my reader.
Did you guys make sure your sound was turned on for thissand? It sounds like a rainstick. So great. So soothing. :)
