eBay Holiday Collective
I buy Christmas gifts all year 'round (literally, starting in January), because if I don't I get completely overwhelmed and crazy and very un-celebratory-like once the holidays officially arrive.
If you'd like to get started a little early as well, eBay's Holiday Collective - which has men's and women's apparel, jewelry, travel and electronics accessories and home décor from Billy Reid, Chris Benz, Jonathan Adler, Ruffian, and Tibi, among others - is a great place to start. All the items are under $100, and are available exclusively on ebay.com/fashionvault beginning Monday, November 12. (If you have an iPhone, you can pick up the items one day early - today, November 11 - using the eBay Fashion iPhone app.)
Affordable, unique, adorable, yes and yes and yes.
Two of my favorite collections:
Archipelago Botanicals Arugula
Delicious. (Buy it here.)

For Better Or For Worse
An email I recently received:
I randomly found your blog several weeks back and enjoyed it...well that's until I recently read that quote about voting for Romney. I am a 30-something mom voting for him and was quite insulted not only by the person who wrote it but by you posting it.
I am not going to go on about it - just know I think it is sad that you lost a reader by putting your politics on what I thought was a lifestyle blog. If I wanted to read a racist liberal blog I would've looked for one.
