The Ultimate Holiday Gift

I don't know about everyone else, but it's really starting to feel like the holidays around here! We just put up our huge holiday sale on Wednesday that has some amazing product in it, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.So, in the holiday spirit, I wanted to share some of these incredible gifts that Neiman Marcus has just released from their 2009 Christmas Book. For a mere $25,000 you can have your very own cupcake car, which can reach up to 7 miles per hour and is sure to make your morning commute a little sweeter. Just bring your own snacks because it's not edible (I double checked).

For $12,000 you can be stylish and eco-friendly with Michelle Brand's beautiful five foot long chandelier that is made out of the bottom of soda bottles. If you're super DIY-saavy, give it a shot yourself and let us know how it goes!

The crown jewel of the collection in my opinion is the Mission One - the fastest electric bike in the world. On top of having a drool-worthy sleekness, it can reach 150 miles per hour and has zero carbon emissions. At $73,000 you may need to go through your friend's couches for the spare change, but it promises to be worth the effort.

For the Birds

One of the many joys of spring is hearing the birds chirping first thing in the morning. I enjoy it so much that I hung a bird feeder just outside my bedroom window. Sometimes there are so many birds at my window, I can’t help but feel a little like Snow White in the forest…minus the dwarfs of course. A beautiful addition to any home or garden, bird feeders make a wonderful house-warming or wedding gift. Here are just a few stylish options, perfect for even the most minimalist of gardens!

Personalized Gifts: Custom Stampers and Stationery

I was looking for a great gift on einvite.com, something personal, thoughtful and that would definitely be used for a long time. I've found giving personalized items always puts a big smile on people's faces - seeing one's names or initial elegantly inscribed gives a nice feeling of being appreciated.

These custom stampers allow you to enter in a name and address and have the info perfectly arranged into the stylish layout instantly (it's fun to play around with the many styles and instant previews!) This is definitely a useful gift that will be loved by people who just moved or are getting married. In addition, personalized notecards would be a great accompanying gift, coordinate your custom stamper's ink choice with the card and you have a perfect present!
