I love to give gifts that are hidden gems- something your gift getter never knew they were missing all their life. For the quirky and big imaginations on your list…
The perfect gift for everyone you know 
Paint with water onto Japanese paper, let it slowly fade away, and start again. The mini Buddha Board is a smaller version of the original (both would make excellent gifts for all ages this year!) The “magic” Buddha Board painting surface folds backward onto its own easel stand and includes a bamboo paint brush. So zen and so many possibilities. Live in the present, $1o.95, buddhaboard.com.
Plate of goodies
For the hostess with the most-ess or anyone who likes pretty things. Gorgeous colorful Kate Spade Pear Tree Plates are made of fine porcelain and accented with gold. Classy and elegant, yet very unique, $50 for a set of 4, lenox.com.
For the nonsensical scholar
The wide stainless steel Lorem Ipsum Cuff is laser-etched with classic lorem ipsum scribed in Grad font. For the smarty-pants on your list, or the designer in your life. They’ll think of you fontly, $59, veer.com.
For the sleepy music lover
Never miss a beat- the comfy Sound Asleep Pillow is super soft with a built-in speaker that offers a wall of sound while you fall asleep. Just plug in any MP3-player and you can drift off to the tunes of your choice. Nighty night, $29.99, bedbathandbeyond.com.
The writing’s on the wall 
A Chalkboard wall decal is a gift that will be loved by teens, tweens, little kids, and even busy Moms who need to write stuff down! It’s one big sticker- a breeze to apply to the surface of your choice. Chalk is even included, $24.99, amazon.com.
very neat gift ideas!
For the chalkboard wall decal you can make something very similar more inexpensively by purchasing a table top picture frame, cutting a piece of wrapping paper and place it where you would place a picture. Buy some dri erase pens and write your messages on the glass. When finished simply wipe the message off and write a new one. Frequently you have an extra picture frame somewhere in your house so you don’t have the expense of buying one.
