Oh Santa! I almost forgive you for that flu you plagued YZ and I with this Xmas, what with all the juicy gifts you lugged down our chimney along with it. All in all, the 25th was a veritable indulge-fest, with everything on my list neatly wrapped in recycled paper under the tree... http://www.los-list.com/blog/top-ten-thank-you-santa/feed/ 78 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/#comments Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:48:46 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10350

The holidays are all about home, home-comings, and homeyness so why not give a gift that celebrates the abode? From the tiniest trinkets to the enormously extravagant to the quirky never-knew-I-needed-that shwag — the home is like one more child that can't stop asking for something new. Here's our 2010 gifting roundup — all in the spirit of adding a dose of whimsy and color to your home this season. http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/feed/ 89 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/#comments Tue, 07 Dec 2010 18:38:04 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10325

For some of us, the holiday season is about one thing and one thing only. Ok, two things. Ok, a bunch of things—all nicely wrapped and book-related. Because there is nothing more satisfying than winter reading, whether it’s the classic you know almost by heart, the novel everybody else already read six months ago, or the thriller you’ll never admit you couldn’t put down. http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/feed/ 12 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:57:39 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10261

Etsy has to be one of the coolest places for gift giving — simply because most of the offerings on the site are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. But, with this endless trove of offerings, a bushy-eyed shopper can quickly get dissuaded by too much good stuff... http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/feed/ 9 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:46:31 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9997

Hip hip hooray! 'Tis that time of year again: christmas trees, wreaths, family get togethers, snuggling up by the fireplace singing carols, oh, yes... and lots of gift giving! What better way to kick things off than with the wee ones!! http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/feed/ 13 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-poddities/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-poddities/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:53:34 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=2215

We've been waiting for these slick iPhone accessories for a good few months now and are thrilled that Poddities straps and loops have arrived just in time for us to crown them as THE perfect stocking stuffers this holiday. Available from always-reliable Amazon, the straps come in natural and black leather or red, orange, yellow, green, blue, gray, and white seatbelt-weave styles. Get rid of that nasty case and flaunt your newly pimped iPhone! http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-poddities/feed/ 18 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-do-goodism/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-do-goodism/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:18:20 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=2015
