Robyn Klauer from Georgie Designs contacted us about a great gift idea her site offers.
We all know about fruit of the month, wine of the month and book of the month clubs…but how about a Ring of the Month club!? |
Available in 3, 6 and 12 month options, this is a great idea for someone who is into jewelry (or even better, order it for yourself and give away the ones you don’t want!).
Each ring is handcrafted and sent in a beautiful package featuring the ring of your choice. Not sure of the recipients ring size? Georgie Designs will send a gift card notification beforehand along with a ring sizer for them to email or call back with. Then they will have their ring in 1-2 weeks. Perfect!
The prices are reasonable for handcrafted jewelry with the 3-month club at $128, 6-months for $256 and 12-months ranging from $498-$558 (choice of silver or gold).
Go visit the site today and sign-up for the ring of the month club…remember, jewelry is always a great gift!
(Maybe a cool gift for Mother’s Day?)

Friday Finds from the Gift World
Jun 6th
I am feeling lazy today so I thought I would point you toward some great gifts other people are talking about:
- Art lovers take notice. Shawn at Everything and Nothing has the ‘Most Beautiful Book in the World‘. This $150,000 book titled Michelangelo: La Dotta Mano features photos of Michelangelo’s works.
- Kristin at Cool Mom Picks has a really cool ‘Baby Makes Three Necklace‘. The necklace contains three rings held together on a cable chain. This would make a great gift for the expecting mother!
- Know someone in your life who is just a little TOO paranoid? The Hidden Camera Detector they have over at Kaboodle would be a good solution. For $25 you can put someone’s mind at ease that there are no hidden cameras in their house.
- Violet has these Wobbly Cognac Glasses that would make a great gift for the alcohol aficionado in your life. They look fun and I bet I could spend hours watching it wobble around.
- Someone Spoil Me has The Rolling Stone Holiday Etched Wine Gift containing “two beautifully etched wines and a branded wooden gift box”. Of course the famous tongues make it.
All right that’s the round-up. Have a great weekend fellow gift givers!
It’s Not Too Late To Get Mom a Wearable Piece of Art!
Apr 30th
We were recently contacted by Dee Boswell of DeeBozzz, who creates unique, one-of-a-kind silk scarves. (she used our Suggest a Gift contact form)
Dee suggested we take a look at her scarves to see if we wanted to review them.
Honestly, my first thought was “do I want to review scarves?” Interesting enough? Unique enough?
But, after taking a look, I:
- Saw how beautiful the scarves are
- Realized how unique they really are
- Thought that they would make lovely gifts for women & women who are art lovers
- Noticed that Dee can make custom pieces for you
- Decided that I was late in getting a Mother’s Day gift idea post out (although we do have a nice list of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas on the site)
Here are some of the scarves that jumped out at me:

|
| Magenta Silk Scarf | Mauve Check Silk Jacquard Scarf | |
| $56.00 small or $70.00 large |
$66.00 small or$70 large |
$55.00 small or$70.00 large |
Dee let us know the following about her products and company:
[Dee creates] silk scarves, silk shawls, and silk apparel. They are all hand-painted, and one-of-a-kind.
The mission of this fiber art company is to “create beautiful and unique designs through the art of silk hand painting and dyeing”.
What makes these accessories so different is that they are so unique. Every scarf and wrap is fashioned by hand from beginning to end. Patterns may be similar, but every scarf is one of a kind! They have a luxurious feel, yet they are easy to care for.
I create my wearable works of art in my Toronto-based studio.
Dee also has a nice blog and videos of how to wear your scarf. Small business owner, great products, blog, how-to videos… you can see why I decided to write about this.
If you do purchase something from Dee for this Mother’s Day, you will also have a nice story to tell Mom about how you found a cute site called GiftStumped and found unique, hand-painted scarves created by an artist in Toronto. She just doesn’t need to know you almost waited until the last minute!
Hand Painted Martini Glasses at The Merry Martini
Apr 30th
A few things you need to know about MsGift are that 1. I wear flip-flops pretty much year round and 2. I enjoy a cold beverage every once in a while (…or every couple days).
Apparently Kelly Owens must have known that already when she contacted us about her site The Merry Martini. Not only is the site adorable but it has some REALLY great stuff, including this Lolita Flip Flops Martini Glass.
I have seen hand-painted glasses before but what makes this one unique is that it comes in it’s own box with a special recipe. I love the flip flops painted on the glass but I also think the recipe sounds delicious:
- 1 1/2 Parts Mandarin Vodka
- 1 Part Grand Marnier
- 3/4 Part Cream
- 3/4 Part Milk
- 1/4 Part Sugar
- Strawberry Syrup Garnish
It sounds great to me but if flip flops aren’t your thing, they also have a number of other designs (with recipes) for shopaholics, chocolate lovers and of course birthday girls. Pair this with the ingredients required and you have a great birthday gift, housewarming gift or just a fun night ahead of you!
Discount Alert!!!
Kelly has been kind enough to offer GiftStumped readers a discount code for her site. If you want to get 10% off your Merry Martini purchase, enter the code FASHIONISTA. It is good through 12/31/08.
Give Foodies Recipes They Can Share
Jan 17th
Here is a nice idea for epicureans you know – give them recipe note cards that they can use as stationery.
| We are a fan of products produced by Galison, in NYC. Galison combines beautiful pictures of well-known artist’s paintings with gourmet recipes, and puts them in a note card portfolio that makes a nice gift. |
| I’m a particular fan of their Chocolate on the Brain note cards… |
Yum!
