Gift Guide pick #9 - Young Adult son/daughter

This magnificent Unisex Flat Leather Messenger is a fine gift for the young person going out in the world.  The  well made bag is sleek enough for their brand new job or casual yet refined enough for the scholar.  Unfortunately the bag is made to order and will not be available for Christmas delivery now because such a well made item takes time to craft.  Keep this in your favorites or order it now for your son/daughters birthday or graduation.  Check out other accessories Urban Heirlooms has ready to ship for the holidays.

Gift Guide pick # 7 - Dad


You can only give so many ties and colognes to dad before his dresser becomes overrun with the gifts he doesn't use.  The Daddy or Mommy Ring is a nice ring to get your Dad or Grandfather (or even husband).  I like the satin finish for a man but the artist has several finishes including a shiny finish.  I also like the thick band.  Have his kids or grandkids names inscribed diagonally or straight across.  This is definitely a keepsake he will treasure that won't be buried in his dresser and instead worn all the time.
Available at Bddesigns.etsy.com.
Note: This artist isn't accepting anymore custom items to be ready in time for Christmas although this doesn't have to be a Christmas gift. She has many other ready to ship items.



Happy Thanksgiving!

Most of the year I'm a cynic but nothing has me looking forward to being with family and believing we will have an awesome time together than Thanksgiving.  My family is extremely small and any family gathering we can have I enjoy it.
  • I am thankful for my family and that they are healthy.
  • I am thankful that I still have a job and a business despite the economy.
  • I am thankful for living in a free country despite its flaws.  
  • I'm thankful for my friends.  
  • I am thankful for indoor plumbing and air freshener.  
  • I am thankful for the feast we will have today.
  • I am thankful for the internet.  
  • I am thankful for the ability to do what I love!

What are you thankful for?
