Jonathan Adler Dolls

Gift Guide: For The Littles + Abode Home + Jonathan Adler

So, how is everyone doing with their Christmas shopping?  Are you doneskies, somewhat finished, or have you not even started? I picked up my first gift last night from Charlotte designer Mary Tobias Miller's fantastic interiors store, Abode Home.  If you are in Charlotte and love home interiors and design, you need to make a trip to the Abode retail showroom located in Dilworth on East Boulevard.  Abode Home is stocked full of amazing lamps, pillows, furniture and gifts, and another thing I always love, a fantastic selection of Jonathan Adler Home products. 

These Bel Air Mini Scoop Vases in a rainbow of colors make me so happy!

One of Abode's adorable associates previously worked at the Jonathan Adler store in Los Angeles.  We both agreed a fun albeit mildly out of place addition for Abode would be Adler's collection of zany canisters. Are you an Uppers guy or a Ganja Girl?  I'm grew up in Asheville, so well...

I have this cute little Dolls pill box. Do you know the story behind this?

All Jonathan Adler gifts are 25% off through December 13 with Code: MERRYMAKER

And since children's gifts are at a completely opposite end of the spectrum, HERE is my list of gift ideas for the littles... largely influenced by Precious Peanuts #1 and #2).

When Life Gets That Way, There's Always Style (Follow Your Arrow Wherever It Points)

,

Watch Kacey Musgraves tell it... 

If you save yourself for marriage you're a bore. If you don't save yourself for marriage you're a whore-able person.  If you won't have a drink then you're a prude but they'll call you a drunk as soon as you down the first one.  If you can't lose the weight then you're just fat.  But if you lose too much then you're on crack.  You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.  So you might as well just do whatever you want.  So, make lots of noise, kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls if that's something you're into.  When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight roll up a joint, or don't (I'm from Asheville, there's no secret what we'd do). Just follow your arrow wherever it points. Yeah, follow your arrow wherever it points.

If you don't go to church, you'll go to hell. If you're the first one on the front row, you're a self righteous son of a-can't win for losing, you'll just disappoint 'em. Just 'cause you can't beat 'em, don't mean you should join 'em....

Let The Shopping Begin!

This holiday season, I'm gonna hit you with the coolest stuff on the market.  I love, LOVE gift giving.  I love giving things I'd like to receive and things I think remind me of the recipient.  And when in doubt, giving dope gifts is always a winner.  How can you say no to any of those funsies up there?  Happy Shopping!  Gobble. Gobble.  Furbish Studio rocks!
