#1. SUCK UK Robot Nut Cracker ($20 @ Amazon.com)
Expect this reaction: “Oh, that’s soooooo cute.” It’s not too expensive and creative enough to look like there was effort behind it. Plus, depending on her personality, there’s always room for a nut cracker joke.
#2. Plumb Notebooks ($15 @ Amazon.com)
Created by artist Nathaniel Russell to fuel his creative process, this three-piece set of tiny notebooks containing 63 blank pages can serve countless functions — ideas, sketches, notes, dream journal, etc. The holder keeps them bunched, which means prevents them from looking sloppy on if they’re being stored on a desk, counter, or dresser.
