It’s time again for our monthly shout out of gratitude to our sponsors for making the other 40+ posts possible and helping to keep food on the table (even if that table is covered with moving boxes at the moment). And in the spirit of the season, let’s focus on another kind of box – the gift box. Instead of just listing everyone, we’ve whipped up a little roundup of our favorite gift-worthy things. Not that we’ve been gifted any of these things ourselves (see our new no-swag policy here) but we did have some fun trolling around their sites on a virtual shopping spree of sorts. And as always, there’s something in it for you (you know we love to hook you guys up) so scroll down to the bottom for some wallet friendly discounts. Oh and stay tuned for some pretty crazy moving pics in a bit. Our house is actually starting to echo!
- A vintage atomic tree topper found in one of Ruby Lane‘s virtual antique shops.
- An unapologetically preppy set of recipe cards plus apron from Sarah Langley.
- Dolan Geiman‘s richly layered and textured mixed media art prints.
- Totally distinct and amazingly eco-friendly coconut tiles from Design for Less.
- Adding some sparkle with a mercury glass pendant from Shades of Light.
- The Z Gallerie color-coded gift guide, featuring some incredible icy blue gifts.
- A gift card to the The Tile Shop (for filling up on tile, tools, & free tips).
- Free downloadable holiday gift tags from the folks at WallQuotes (yay free!).
- Hoot Design Co’s print that brings fun & personalization to the ABCs.
- A virtual design consultation from one of My Design Guide‘s interior designers.
- Durock‘s Tile Membrane “Project In A Box” that’ll simplify your honey’s next project.
- Pretty and eco-friendly paper and other letterpress goodies from Smock Paper.
- A custom photo canvas from Trendy Peas. After all, it is Christmas, baby.
- A pop or three of color with this hand crafted Mexican pillow found on Ruby Plaza.
- To get you into the spirit, here’s Burger in his holiday best (it has a trap door).
- And we can’t forget the beanette with a festive reindeer on those buns of hers.
And now for the JUICY DISCOUNTS:

the winter-tastic silhouette print is actually very cool
Love the aprons!
hey there!
I’m trying to locate the “free downloadable” gift tags from WallQuotes… that link takes you to their site, but I’m not sure where to go from there? Do you have to order something first? thanks for any suggestions. And merry merry Christmas to all the Petersiks!
Hey Mollie,
If you click on the actual picture, it’ll take you right to their blog where you can download them. No purchase necessary!

hi again…
OK.. i figured it out! the link that you have just takes you to their site, but the if you click on the IMAGE of the red gift tag, that takes me to where I need to go. thanks; others might miss it, too?
We updated the text link too just to make it easier! Thanks for the suggestion.

Best part of your shoutouts is seeing your fave products that the company offers. Ruby Plaza’s pillow is something I don’t think I’d ever have found myself.
Burger in a sweater + Claire pictures = quality post.
And thank goodness it has a “trap door.” That might be awkward if it didn’t…….;-)
I just used the discount at the tile shop. Shower surround, here we come!
I bought one of the rhinos from Cardboard Safari, but I haven’t put it up yet…and now you are making me want the deer!
I love the rhino too! He could be friends with my ceramic rhino…

thanks sherry! I just printed out a bunch of the tags on cardstock.. I LOVE them!! Also left a thank you note on their blog… so kind of those folks over at Wall Quotes to share them! Happy Move, and Merry Christmas!
I know, they’re so cute, right?!

Lots of neat new places to check out…thanks!
Please tell me you’re using that awesome picture of Clara for your weekly photos?! She’s so photogenic!
Those pics of C & B were actually outtakes for our Christmas card which we’ll share on the 25th! Warning: it’s painfully cute.

Sherry…my rhino would be HONORED to be friends with the YHL rhino!
I recently bought a painting of a donkey and the artist referred to the donkey by name…I think I may have to name all the animals in my art and decor!
And FYI to anyone looking for a capiz treetopper (just noticed that out to the side)…they had some at my local WalMart, two different styles for only ten bucks and I just saw them this week (hadn’t seen them earlier and I SCOUR the decorations every time I am in there). They were quite nice, but didn’t match my tree decor.
Thank you for introducing me to shops I would have never found otherwise! I am in love with Dolman Geiman’s art! Cardboard safari is so fun – I can see spray painting one of the heads bright yellow or hot pink.
Merry Christmas!!!
Oh Z Gallerie… how I love you!
i just bought a cardboard safari deer for my secret santa exchange at work. it was *slightly* over the budget, but absolutely perfect for my co-worker who is very metrosexual and just went hunting for the first time last week!
Great Gift Ideas… for a procrastinator like me…THANKS!
Gosh, the beanette is adorbs :)
Clara’s reindeer bum makes me incredibly happy. What a big smile! She’s adorable.
That Shades of Light glass pendant just made my heart skip a beat!
So how do you get to the color-coded gift guide on zgallerie? It would be nice to search their stuff by color. That is what you meant, right?
Hey Tracy,
Here’s the link to sort through their holiday items by color: http://www.zgallerie.com/t-holiday.aspx

Thanks! Too bad though – I was hoping it was for the whole site and not just the holiday stuff.
I tried to used the YHL10 coupon code on the Freshline Etsy site to buy a pillow and it doesn’t work. Anyone else have any luck with it?
So sorry to hear that! Have you tried using lowercase letters if you’re using uppercase ones? Sometimes that works. We’ll also drop them an email to see if they have any ideas! Stay tuned…

Hi Kristin!
The coupon code is working now! I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Please try typing in the coupon code during checkout: YHL10 for the discount. If you have any problems feel free to email me directly at: freshlineillustration@hotmail.com
Thanks for your interest in my work!
-Colleen
Thanks so much for stopping in with that info Colleen!

Where is Clara’s reindeer sleeper from?
She looks so adorable :)
That was actually a gift from John’s sweet mom and the tag says Carter’s. Not sure if she got it at the Carter’s store or at a place like TJ Maxx (she’s a bargain shopper just like us).
