As my birthday is in November and coincides with the dreadfully busy holiday season, some of you have, in the past, had a difficult time finding the ultimate gift; with the added pressure of attempting to find something that meets my so-called "designy" standards, some of you may have run out of ideas by now. I figured that this year, I'd help you well ahead of time.

Not only can any of the above presents apply to my birthday or Christmas present, you may know someone else who has similar tastes & interests to myself, and I'm hoping this will help to inspire you to find their perfect gift, whatever the occasion.

For further ideas, I would highly recommend taking a look at:

• The creatives listed on The Finders Keepers markets
• Ikea
• Father Rabbit
• Kikki-K
• Notemaker
• I Need Nice Things
• Society 6

Happy shopping!
