Well aren’t you all wonderful! Thank you for all your encouragement<\/a> – a little pep talk goes a long way. I think if I told you what I have on my plate for the coming week, you would freak out and wonder why oh why I cram everything in – you’ll find out everything soon enough.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway without further delay, here is the 2009 holiday gift guide pour lui<\/em>.

Here are a couple of gender neutral gifts which I think are always handy to have for impromptu guests. I was going to include it in yesterday’s holiday gift guide for gals but well, you want the truth? It didn’t fit my colour scheme for the post. Today, it does. Left: travel organizer<\/a> from solo handmade<\/a> US$25.00 location: Utrecht, The Netherlands. Right: tweed camera cozy<\/a>, custom made by thistle down and finch<\/a> US$28.00 location: ontario.<\/p>\n

4. dunkerton’s organic cider<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a32.55each from natural collection<\/a> location: UK I love cider, and I was thinking what a great gift it would be to have a year supply sent to you – say, one 12-pack (or more if you love it love it) a month? And then I got thinking, what about the same for beer? Or wine? And then I got thinking, how cool would it be to have one of your local wineries\/breweries\/sellers send a mixed box of the stuff each month? Anyway, just a thought.<\/p>\n

5. woven picnic basket<\/a> from finding fabulous <\/a>US$28.00 location: chicago.<\/p>\n

………………………………………………………….<\/p>\n

To continue on the outdoorsy theme, but for the guy in your life who loves the idea of the outdoors but well, lets just say he’s the more leisurely type:<\/p>\n

\"PJB_giftideas09_boys_1\"<\/p>\n

How was that? I hope there are some ideas in there for the man in your life.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember,\u00c2\u00a0 if you love a bit of DIY, you could try making something inspired by what you see above, with materials you have on hand. Also, lots of these items are gender neutral, or at least I think they are because I dig all of them! And last but not least, be sure to check out each store link as there are so many goodies that I could pick from each, but I just select one or two for this post.<\/p>\n

Happy gifting! Gifts for the kids will be up next (later this afternoon)…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
