Here are my favorite things of 2009. Most are items I have tested and approved (love). Check out my thoughts on each gift idea below.

1. Blu Bijoux Mixed Media Cuff – Max & Chloe $19.00 : I love this cuff. I picked up one for myself and one for my BFF at the Max & Chloe Cyber Monday sale. I can’t wait for it to come in. It is made of denim, stone, and metal and is also available in gold.
2. Urban Expressions Zeppelin Studded Clutch – BagHaus.com $45.00 : Studs are super hot this season and I love the high shine on these metal embellishments. A wristlet is a must for going out with friends when you don’t want to have a handful of clutch all night. Yes, please!
3. Peppermint Bark Soap – Etsy.com $5.50 : How adorable is this Peppermint Bark Shea Butter soap by Etsy.com designer sherrisscentsandsoys. This would make for a great stocking stuffer for all of the ladies on your holiday shopping list. Thanks to @designsvanessa for this fab find!
4. Angel Wing Necklace – Bijoule.com $20.00 : Love the idea of this stylish angel wing necklace for the holidays. This would look effortlessly chic with any outfit, especially when combined with other necklaces of varying lengths.
5. Tazo Tea Tea Sampler Gift Box – Starbucks.com $19.95 : This is the perfect gift for the tea lover on your list, which would be me! I LOVE Tazo Tea – the Chai and Awake Tea are what I order most from Starbucks. The box is beautiful and I love the assortment. I have a cup a day as my mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
6. Ornoir Earrings – Bijoule.com $15.00 : Another fab find from Bijoule.com. I want these so bad. I am addicted to black and gold and these would go with everything in my closet, dressy or casual.
7. Flip Ultra Camcorder – Amazon.com $89.99 : I can’t believe I found a Flip Camcorder for under $100. My husbad doesn’t leave home without his! They are so fun and come complete with a flip-out usb drive for easily uploading videos to your computer. This is perfect for anyone that wants to share videos on their blog or youtube and would go great with gift number 16 on this list.
8. Mermaid Wine Holder – Sundog Co. $56.00 : I got this for my good friend and then had to have one for myself too, haha. I call her my drunken mermaid and she holds a bottle of champagne at all times. My house has a beach theme (vases full of large white starfish, my beach painting above the couch) and my mermaid fits right in.
9. Black Charging Valet – Target.com $27.99 : Picked this up for my husband and it is the perfect organizer for holding all of those electronics that need charging. The best part is that it hides all of your cords because there is a hidden power strip on the inside. Love it!
10. 6 Chocolate Covered Holiday Berries – Shari's Berries $29.99 : Check out my review of Shari’s Berries… I’m addicted. Perfect last minute, or anytime gift. Their big, red, and juicy and the chocolate is so yummy. This gift will get the creativity award from your girlfriends.
11. Golden Ocean Peacock Cuff – Etsy.com $38.00 – I have two cuffs already from Etsy designer DirtyStory and I love them both (seen here and here). I hope to add more to my collection over time. I prefer beautiful bold cuffs vs. noisy bangles that I end up taking off when I get to work.
12. Goldfinger-less Gloves – ModCloth.com $29.99 : I love anything and everything from ModCloth.com and these fingerless gloves are no exception. Knit from a cozy yarn woven into a decorative pattern on top, these accessories work great solo over bare forearms, or layered with a long sleeve tee.
13. Single Bottle Club – CellarsWineClub.com starting at $19.95 : This is perfect for the aunt, uncle, mom, dad, grandma, wife, girlfriend, bff or any wine lover on your list. It’s the gift that keeps giving throughout the year. Select from single or multiple bottles per month, in addition to the duration of the gift membership.
14. Tassi Head Wrap – BeautyNeeds.com $13.95 : Check out my glowing, gushing review of my Tassi head wrap. I wear it daily and I hope Santa puts another one in my stocking this year (in white, hint hint) :) A fun gift for any of your girlfriends and comes in a wide array of colors.
15. Electronic Catch Phrase – Target.com $26.99 : This gift is an instant party straight out of the box and is such a great gift for any guy or gal on your list. Prepare to get loud and rowdy straight away. There is also a music edition that is out of control fun!
16. Western Digital HD Media Player for USB Storage Devices – BestBuy.com $99.99 : I got this gift for my husband’s birthday and he loves it! Plug your flash drive (movies, TV shows, pics, and music that you have downloaded from your computer) into the player and view the media on your TV. The Flip Camcorder, gift number 7, also hooks up to the media player’s USB drive and plays your videos on the big screen. So easy!
17. Lucky Brand Snowflake Scarf – JBAndMe.com $69.00 : This scarf may be Merry Christmas from me to me, haha. The color and the eclectic style are so on trend right now. I’d love to wear this with wide leg jeans, a long tank, and a cropped jacket. LOVE!
