wish and gift list: katie d
What’s on your list for Christmas? We’ll share what we’re wishing for and shopping for, starting with Katie D.
Wishing for:
Polished Stingray Cuff by Unearthed, $75
These cuffs are equal parts luxurious and tough, made by two LA sisters in their socially responsible shop. All the stingray skins used in their jewelry are a by-product of the local fishing industry, where the skins would otherwise be thrown away as waste.
Red Velvet Cake Lip Shine by Philosophy, $12
For a girl with a sweet tooth, this takes the cake (sorry). Another delectable option is Philosophy’s S’mores Lip Shine, on sale for $8.
I Heart Zombies Knee High Socks, $7
Nothing says “holidays” like fresh-baked cookies, snuggly accessories, and a zombie marathon. (Just me?) Zombie socks from Hot Topic (No direct link; please search the site) will keep me cozy while reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or World War Z, or watching Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later.
Upside Down Animal Mug from Fred Flare, $20
These are so sweet they’re giving me a toothache! Wrap them up with some Caramel Crème Brulee tea from Tealuxe, and I’ll be your best friend for life.
Shopping for:
You Bake ‘Em Cat Treats, $14
A fantastic gift for any feline fanatic. The kit comes with five adorable cookie cutters, recipe booklet, and gift bags.
Seed Bombs, $9
These are a great, affordable stocking stuffer. The real treat comes in the spring when your lucky recipient’s winter blues are cured with a burst of colorful wildflowers.
Laboratory Flower Vases, $14
A sweet, pretty present for everyone from hipsters to homemakers.
Travel Scrabble, $28
Perfect for anyone traveling this holiday season (especially coming through O’Hare airport) this portable edition of family favorite Scrabble comes with everything you need to kill time. — Katie D.
Maybe you can find some brain shaped cookie cutters so you can really be part of the zombie movie marathon?
You know, it just occurred to me — what is actually done with stingrays? Is there a market for them, or are they just accidentally caught while the fisheries are netting other fish?
There is a market for them (not sure where though, I never see any stingray meat at my local deli counter). According to Unearthered’s etsy profile:
“A Note from our distributor on our stingray: These skins are a by-product of the local fishing industry as Stingray is a food fish in that area. If it could not be used it would be discarded as waste. . . No rare or endangered species are involved.”
LOVE those lab flower vases!
