All of you know my serious love of bags. Then you must know it's an equal obsession with all the little things you can put in your bag. Why wouldn't I fall in love with this polka-dotted loveliness? Besides, doesn't everyone need a coin purse? Ok, maybe not but that's my reason and I'm sticking with it.
Well maybe not. But, when I walked into Target over the weekend looking for essentials, I found myself in front of the Hayden-Harnett display and well, I fell in love with the Hobo Bag in Black. I did have the will power to walk away but let's see how long that last.
Leading up to the Holiday's many of my favorite blogs and designers revealed their calendars for 2009 and there were plenty I was in love with but this Swivel Calendar is also functional. Not only will it tell you the day of the week and month it also holds office supplies like push pins, paper clips and other little things that need storage on your desk. There are plenty of calendars out there and who says you have to reside yourself to just one. If you already have one for your wall, this one is perfect for your desk.
P.S. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I'll be posting sporadically this week.
No matter how good your list making skills are, someone is always bound to be left off the list. Don't worry, there's no need to scramble, there are plenty of goodies left to give to anyone on your list.
1. Edible Treats
Yes, plenty of stores have delectable treats perfect to give to co-workers, the hostess of your holiday soiree or anyone else who is swayed by all things sweet. Try these or these.
2.Keeping Warm
Who can turn down great clothing deals? Well tis the season for some great holiday deals. While it may be last minute, you'll definitely save plenty of money (maybe enough for you to find a few deals for your self--don't worry it will be our little secret.) Find something like this or this maybe even this for him.
3. For the Home
Sometimes the best gifts are ones that make the home lovely and if you ask me, they're always easy to find when your running around last minute. One pick is room diffusers like these. 
You really can't go wrong with a lovely vase, but instead of the traditional style look for one with texture like this one 
Whatever you choose your last minute gifts can look as if they've been on your list the whole time.
I must confess, these are really cool lunch bags. Even if it's halfway through the school year this would be a nice lunch bag upgrade.

Doesn't this cookie press make you want to tap that inner baker and get yourself knee deep in sugar, flower and sprinkles and make some cookies? If not get it for the person who loves baking and maybe they will get inspired and all you have to do is be the taste tester.
If you're thinking about how to step up your holiday breakfast this year, I think this Holiday Pancake Plate would be a fun way to change up the basic pancake. Add in the Gingerbread Pancake & Waffle Mix with Holiday Syrup Set and you could give this as a gift too {for yourself of course}.
If you're getting your house ready for holiday house guest and want to change up the look of your guest room, think about this lovely ribbon quilt from Brocade Home. I'm in love with the ruffles.
I wouldn't dare leave kids off the Gift Giver list. This Charley Harper memory game is one great gift both educational and entertaining. Plus the designs are so intoxicatingly lovely.
For smaller children these board books would be a perfect stocking stuffer.
I was in one of my favorite stores this weekend overwhelmed by all the holiday goodies and also trying to maximize my allotted holiday shopping budget and saw this doodlebook frame from umbra and thought this would be such a fun gift to give to the artist on your list. It's a frame with a pad of paper around it that allows you to create your own design. If you get tired of that design tear it off and you have a fresh piece of paper to create a new design (or doodle).
Wouldn't this be a wonderful weekend haven? I'd choose to read a bunch of my favorite magazines and play catch up with my blog reader. If you feel this is what your room should look like (I can't blame you) find all these lovely things here.
I love Marimekko so I have to admit I screeched with delight at the discovery of this Hedwig Sheet Set. If you need a little more color then think about adding in the bed linen sets.
