That was quick. I just looked on the UO website and the letters are “back in stock!” I love them as is but they would be fun wrapped with fun textured yarns or even twine. Looking forward to your next guide!

Oh yes- we love spray painting old brass! We also plan to put together another gift guide this year so stay tuned after Thanksgiving!

Just saw this and realized it’s from last year. I LOVE your list! I especially love the UO wire letters! I hope they still have them. Are you guys putting together a list for this year? You might be a tad busy…

Can’t wait to spray paint some pinecones. I have been on a spay painting binge and couldn’t find anything else in my home to paint so pinecones it is! Have you used spray paint to paint old brass fixtures? My now “brushed nickle” chandelier looks brand new!

So I’m a year late to this post… (I decided to catch up from the beginning!) but I had to say that we have that furry wine cozy and probably bought it ironically on the date this list was posted, ha. Your blog is great and incredibly inspiring!

You guys rock my world!

I knocked out 4 gifts this weekend with your guide! FOUR!! I highly recommend pairing the book “The Wine Trials: 100 Everyday Wines Under $15 that Beat $50 to $150 Wines in Brown-Bag Blind Tastings ” with the wine glasses or the wine rack (we’re doing both! for two separate gifts)… if you’re working in “price ranges” for gift exchanges, this is a nice way to stretch a good gift to being the best gift! We also threw in a drip-less wine pouring spout (like $2) from C&B in the cocktail themed bins they had around that area! Thanks for doing my Christmas shopping for me!!

Here’s the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Wine-Trials-Everyday-Brown-Bag-Tastings/dp/0974014354

Hey Rebecca,

It’s possible that they’re on the site but if you can’t find ‘em we have heard if you call a store (even if it’s far away) they can ship them to you just like an online order. Hope it helps!

This is too funny-I was at Urban the other day and saw those cool cow banks for $20 and had to have it! I thought it would make such a cool book end on my shelf;)

By the way, that was “my mom” and I that went to the Michigan Ave store! Not “my my”…but I think you got the idea. I suppose in a big store like that you’ve got to have rules, we were just torked at the time. :) We are still planning on buying some stuff from C&B so never fear!
