Gift idea: Wallet
Makes a good gift for: Him – men, teens
You can shop for a wallet at any department store or men’s boutique, but Etsy also has tons of cute wallets and some very well-crafted leather wallets. A way to make the gift of a wallet a little more fun or personal is to put some gift-cards or cash in it!
I found some great wallets on etsy, but you can certainly find some nice ones at department stores or boutiques. Here are some nice ones I came across:

Leather wood-grain print:

This week's gift theme: Gifts for him.
For the next seven days I will post ideas for gifts that should please the man or men in your life.
Makes a good gift for: Dad, husband, teen, tv-lovers, techies
In a stroke of what I thought was genius, I decided to get Jonathon a Wii for Christmas a couple years ago. He ended up exchanging the Wii for a Play Station 3, and that PS3 has turned in to a glorified Netflix-watching machine. If only I had known that the video-game loving kid in him had grown up, I would have just gotten him an Apple TV or a Roku Box.
Apple TV
$49.00 - $99.00
You could also pair one of these tv-boxes with a subscription to Netflix or Hulu Plus. Both systems sync with both Netflix and Hulu Plus.
Netflix - $7.99 for one month - $95.88 for one year
Hulu Plus - $7.99 for one month - $95.88 for one year
Gift idea: L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag
Makes a good gift for: Her
My mom got me one of these Boat and Tote bags when I was in college, and I still use it all the time. These bags are well made and timelessly-stylish, which makes these bags appropriate for teens and women alike.
The classic Boat and Tote comes in lots of colors and four sizes:
L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag - $20.95 - $38.95
For something a little more personal, you can also have the bag customized with the recipients initials or monogram:
Gift idea: Coin-purse style purse
Makes a good gift for: Mom, grandma, wife, girlfriend, teen, girl
Lately I have been sporting a smaller purse, in a never-ending effort to carry less stuff with me. My purse is not quite this small, but a very efficient woman (or girl who has not much to carry) could carry this purse as her everyday purse, and any woman could use it as a purse for going out on the town. This purse would also be cute for a teen or younger girl.

Gift idea: Hand mirror
Makes a good gift for: mom, grandma, wife, girlfriend, teens, girls
From old-fashioned to modern, there is a hand mirror for every lady out there, and I think every lady should have a hand mirror. What a unique, feminine gift for a special lady or teen in your life. Here are some unique ones I have found:
This crystal mirror from Z Gallery is really modern yet still classic:
This faux-antique mermaid mirror available on Amazon is nautical yet feminine:
This butterfly mirror, also available on Amazon looks straight out of a fairy tale:
