The Card Shop: Gift Givers
As facile and affordable as your pharmacy variety gift tag stickers may be, they're a little lacking in the humor department. That's why I'm refreshed — and your giftees will be, too — by the Shine Box Print Gift Givers Tag ($6.95). These gag gift tags come with the requisite "To" and "From" fields, but they're given a dose of light-hearted humor with wry one-liners like, "I made this myself, in China," and "No elves were harmed in the making of this gift."

Desire/Acquire: Rubie Green Tillinghast Fabric
Don't get me wrong: I absolutely adore Rubie Green textiles. But the label's stylish and eco-conscious fabrics are not exactly wallet-conscious. This cheerful, Chippendale-esque Tillinghast fabric goes for $90 a yard.

How Much Would You Spend on a Throw?
I'm not much of an animal-print person, but for some reason I'm really drawn to these Williams-Sonoma Home Safari Printed Cashmere Throws ($268, reduced from $368). While its luxurious cashmere and wool blend may be cause for its high price tag, that doesn't mean I'll actually be buying it. I think my max has to be $200 for a really, really lovely throw.
Desire/Acquire: Luna Chandelier
If you're into dark glamour, run, don't walk to the Luna Chandelier ($1200). With gothically elegant charm, this chandelier balances its dark exterior shade with a cluster of clear crystals. However, even if you absolutely adore this piece, your pace might be slowed down a bit thanks to the chandelier's tragic price tag.

Etsy Find: Paloma's Nest Holiday Christmas Text Tiles
This Paloma's Nest Holiday Christmas Text Tile Set ($8) is a set of four porcelain charms/tags which make perfect miniature surprises to tie onto a gift, around a bottle of wine, or to use as party favors. Each is handcrafted and the set comes with one each imprinted with the words "Happy Holidays," "Joy to the World," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "Happy New Year!" I love the sentiment behind them, and the extra thought that is put into using them with a holiday or hostess gift.
