Kelly's Klicks: Holiday Gifts 2005:

Q. Help! I need some creative holiday gift ideas stat!

A. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukah, Chrismukah or something in between, the holiday season has arrived and is in full swing! But what's a gift connoisseur to give this season? Something special! Read on for some fantastic out-of-the-mall ideas. Plus, all items are available online, so you don't even have to brave the cold or the crowds to snag them– just grab your hot cocoa and start clickin'!

Presented By Our Haute Sponsor:


May the Jewels Be With You
What girl doesn’t love jewelry? Now imagine receiving it on a regular basis, delivered to you like flowers. TiltingSwiftly.com has created the Earring of the Month Club, where subscribers receive a new pair of earrings every other month for a whole year! Available in gold, silver or a mixture of both ($230, $180 and $205 respectively), the cost of the subscription includes gift packaging and a postcard notification of your gift.

Also lovely? The hand-drawn, hand-cut glass pendant necklaces at LaurelDenise.com. Each is a delicate piece of art that the designer creates using translucent glass, small drills, thin paper and her creativity. Pick from a variety of images and phrases or customize one to fit the special recipient you have in mind. Prices start at $35.

Get Framed
Rissylyn frames are a personal favorite of mine. Why? In addition to being beautiful, each one is handmade and fully customizable, making an extraordinary gift. Prices start at just $28 at rissylyn.com.

Spa and Sass
Fed up with the lack of corporate gifts for women (a muffin basket is NO way to say thanks after all), Corner Office Beauty creator Suzie Dingwall Williams decided to take matters into her own hands by creating premium quality lotions, soaps and fragrances that could be enjoyed or given as gifts, elegantly packaged to look equally at home on the desk as the vanity table. The result? Ballbuster Hand Cream, Transition Man Soap and Whistle Blower Lip Armor. Score the Desk Set of all three for $38 at cornerofficebeauty.com.

Equally hilarious and delicious? Not Soap, Radio's line of Cocktail Party Lip Glosses (have a cosmopolitan without the hangover!), bubble baths, moisturizers and lip slicks with names like 'Bathing with Sharks' and 'Bubbles, not carbs.' Prices start at $10 at notsoapradio.com.

For the Love of Men
Let’s not forget the fellas. Miabode.com has a sleek tie clip and cufflink set in brushed silver. The cufflinks are engraveable for that personal touch and the whole set is just $24. CalliopeBoutique.com has some great cufflinks too. The brown radius ones are a funky option, yet still tame enough for the office, and are just $30.

Prezzies for Pooches
For the pooch who truly has it all, spoil her (or him) rotten with a hand-woven Swarovski crystal collar from BarkandSparkle.com ($120+). For the canine with 'issues,' SpotOrganics.com comes to the rescue with The Pampered Pup Kit ($28), featuring five popular canine aromatherapy products: No More Itch Spray, Peppermint Breath Spray, Cleansing Ear, Orange Lavender shampoo and Chill Essential Oil. And for the pooch who is too loving, the Me So Horny essential oils are a must – and a riot ($12)!

Baby Love
Have a new addition you'll be shopping for this year? UncommonlyCute.com has the cheekiest onesies and tees for tots, including 'Elmo Is My Homeboy' and 'Future Mrs. Pitt' ($21+).

For the Person Who Has Everything
Sometimes, there are those who truly do have it all, but not to fret, there are great gifts for them, too. First up, Milkfed Press is a one-woman letterpress and bindery that can take special old books, love letters or loose art and turn them into treasured, beautifully bound works of art. Prices start around $375. Too much to swallow? Couture stationery is all the rage – have some made for your loved ones at MilkfedPress.com.

And last, she might have a closet full of designer shoes, but chances are she doesn’t have a custom-made pair. Beautiful-Shoes.com specializes in beautiful custom-made shoes for women with hard-to-fit feet. Choose from a variety of style and swatches, or even send in your sketches and photos – they will make your shoe dreams a reality. Prices are in the $300 range, which really is a bargain for a couture Christmas.
