With everyone looking for gifts, I thought I’d shout out some pretty things from a few of my advertisers in this post that you may enjoy. Please note, this is not a sponsored or paid-for post (I am not interested in doing posts like that, ever) and none of my advertisers requested that I write about them. It’s just a little shout out to them as a way of saying thanks for their support of decor8 for 2011. Their support allows me to blog daily and connect with all of you so I’m grateful. It was quite a challenge to go through all of the shops though and find things that fit together but I think I did a good job :) and hope that you enjoy seeing a few things that I think would be lovely to give (or receive!).

For the cozy home, here are some things that are a bit natural and Scandinavian-inspired: 1. Vintage black metal chair from Relique, 2. Greenlandic boy cushion from Story North, 3. Birch tray from Story North, 4. Vitra chair in mauve gray from Story North, 5. Black and white floral cupcake holders from Meri Meri and 6. Accordion book in pewter crosshatch by Rag & Bone.

Any of the gorgeous photographs from the Eye Poetry shop. Amazing. I see so many that I want for my home!

For those who like a more traveled vibe: A. Sequin pillow from Aura Home, B. Inka napkins from Aura Home, C. Vintage Moroccan rug from Nazmiyal and D. An adorable dress for the little one from Tea Collection.

For city girls (or boys!): 1. Thomaspaul birdcages pillow from 2Modern (love the front and the stripey back), 2. Paintings by Michael Naples from Daily Paintworks, 3. Set of 4 Byzantine blue dots plate chargers at Burke Decor and 4. Typewriter placemats from Burke Decor.

For those who appreciate the little details: A. Gorgeous jewelry from DeJarnette Nola, B. An inspiring art print by lovely Amy Rice, C. Quack wooden tape dispenser from NoteMaker and D. Kate Spade yellow flat notes from NoteMaker.

For the classy lady or gent: a. Sofa from Carolina Rustica b. Pillows from Designer Fluff, c. jewelry by Lisa Hopkins Design, d. Vintage illustrated guide to birds from Ruby Lane for the coffee table and e. an oil painting (vintage) from Ruby Lane.

If crafting and sewing is their favorite hobby, these flirty fabrics from Contemporary Cloth would be a lovely gift!

For animal lovers: 1. Art print by Laura Mae, 2. 2012 calendar from ecojot, 3. dog sweaters notebook from ecojot, 4. vintage cat notebook from ecojot and 5. Red robin cards from ecojot.

For those who love to work with special products designed with love, the rubber stamps and lots of paper goods along with a bear pencil holder are all at the fresh and inspiring INK + WIT shop.

You can also look for some unique and sweet presents from these additional decor8 advertisers:

Ruby Plaza
Fabulous Stationery – Cards and other paper goods that you customize.

Great list, Holly!

Story North steals product photos from other retailers and passes them off as their own (ie: the Dala horse photo), it’s a shame to see them get this kind of publicity when they clearly have no respect for other shops and designers.
