Fabulous start to the gift guide. Just a note, Eleanor’s name is Grosch, not Grolsch:) Love that pillow!

Actually, UO’s website seems to be working fine for me. But the links are not. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks so much for this affordable yet stylish gift guide. I asked for the skull tea set for one from Urban Outfitters, and I was overjoyed to receive it for Christmas! I never would have known about it if it weren’t for your guide!!! Thanks.
I love your blog.
Wishing you all the best in 2008!
Megan
PS. I made your DIY paper ornaments too, they are a hit!
