Su Casa: A Christmas Mantel Shelf
Since we're not all fortunate enough to live in our dream houses, we have to be innovative with what we've got. Su Casa member JenLovesGreen certainly subscribes to this train of thought. As much as she would love to keep cozy by a warm fireplace in her own living room, her current digs are lacking in that department.
Nice and New: John Robshaw Christmas Stocking
Not to be a brat or anything, but my family has been using the same gigantic Christmas stockings for more than 20 years, always filled to the brim with lots of goodies. So, at 12" x 21", the John Robshaw Block Printed Holly Stockings ($70 each) won't do for me, but they're certainly stylish enough to hang on the mantel simply as décor in my home. Available with a mistletoe, candy cane, or peppermint pattern, they're quite festive and would also make a wonderful gift for anyone you know who's building up their collection of holiday décor.
On Our Radar: Christmas Stockings by Top Designers

BellaSugar's Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers for a Special Girl
The best part about buying beauty gifts as stocking stuffers is that most beauty items are small enough to fit inside. If you're willing to indulge, a stocking full of bath, body, hair, nail, fragrance and makeup items could be a product junkies dream gift come true! I bet you never thought that filling up stockings could be so much fun, but as the saying goes, good things come in small packages.

If you read FitSugar regularly, chances are high you are on a health and fitness kick, and to that I say "Right on!" Since Christmas is the time of giving why not give something healthy to your friends and family? Seriously, health is the gift that keeps on giving.
Another Cute Stocking-Worthy iPod Dock
I know, I know, it still might seem a bit early to be thinking about Christmas gifts, but after posting one cute iPod dock that would make a good stocking stuffer, I had to add this funky option to the list.
The Boombox Dock Speaker ($18) is compatible with most iPods and the iPhone, and is less than three inches long. It's totally retro and inexpensive — I love it!

Facebook Measures How Happy We Are
Apparently this is a real metric: Facebook recently announced it would begin to track our gross national happiness via status messages. The social networking company worked with a team of social psychologists to come up with lists of positive words ("yay," "happy," and "awesome," for example) and negative words ("sad," "doubt," "tragic.")
It then published an index of how we are collectively feeling day-to-day. Turns out we're happiest on national holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, and social holidays like Halloween.
New Product Alert! Juicy Couture Fall/Winter '09
Before you shake your head at this pooch ensemble, I'll speak up that my dog reacts towards rain something like the Wicked Witch — you'd think he would actually start melting. So if your pups wish for the rain to go, go away, peep this cute new coat from Juicy. Yeah, at $50, it may rival the price of your windbreaker but maybe for that holiday wish list?
