![GIFTS IN GENERAL: Here are some holiday goodies for no one in particular. Just some funny / thoughtful / unique gift ideas I’ve rounded up as possibilities for family and friends. [Clockwise from top left:]
Fred Micro $12 [Cardboard Safari]: Give this recycled cardboard trophy to the college student or crazy uncle in the family (in my case, both). Heck, give it to a baby - I have it in my nursery.
Vintage Curio Pendants $8.50 [twostringjane]: Vintage pendants on a red string? Under ten bucks? Give one to everyone you know (including me).
Sleepy Dog Pillow $22 [robinandmould]: Kids and adults will cuddle up to this little guy.
Folding Salad Forks $38 [Jonathan’s Spoons]: For the cook in the family - these tongs fold up flat and only require one hand to serve - easy and beautiful.
Tiny Text Bowl $22 [Paloma’s Nest]: Give this handcrafted bowl to a loved one - it will surely become a favorite heirloom.
Whale Box $49 [Areaware]: Karl Zahn’s Animal Box series features carefully chosen animals made from new-growth wood. The whale, which represents power, will safely hide treasures.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbr90kf1BP1qcgciio1_500.jpg)

Hello there.
I am a pretty sarcastic, no-nonsense type of girl. But nothing puts a twinkle in my eye like good, honest, smart design. General Merriment is my happy place – where I share modern and sustainable design news.
Other things that make my happy, in no particular order:
- Cardigans. I tend to freak out when I’m too hot or cold. We’re all in better company when I dress in layers.
- Coffee. Particularly La Columbe - it’s local and delicious. And I feel smarter with a hot drink in my hand.
- Vases and vessels. I own more than I know what to do with, yet still accumulate more.
- Prep bowls. Everything is better mise en place.
- Rock concerts. Because nothing compares to the energy of a crowd belting out the lyrics together.
I currently live in New Jersey (thisclose to Philadelphia) with my husband, Tom, our daughter, Lucy, and our cats, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
