Nikki Makes Scents (sometimes)

The first day of Kwanzaa starts December 26th.  The Achi-An African Board Game (similar to tic-tac-toe) is a charming Kwanzaa gift or to play with family and friends each day as you celebrate the 7 principles of Kwanzaa.   Find this and other historic game reproductions from around the globe at Antiquity Gamecrafters.

For those sports fans who love their team and can't stand their rivals this Rival Team Sucks T-Shirt by Arch Rival Tees is the perfect in your face statement.

I use to be a gymnast and I would have loved to find a Gymnast Pendant such as this.  The Silver Diva has several hard to find sterling silver sports pendants and they also personalize it more with a name or saying!

The Dallas Cowboys of Old print is a great addition to someone's game/sports room or the "man cave" of the die-hard Cowboys fan.  Find more fantastic art at Essence of Us - Artwork by Bill Olivas.

The New Years resolutions to get in shape will start in only a couple of weeks.   Encourage them with this attractive Flower Power Yoga mat Bag by  Chella Bella Designs.

Keep your athlete hydrated through practices and the game.  I love these Custom Team Water Bottles by JJ's Pointworks.  You can get these personalized with your athlete's name or team or the even the team logo.  I like these as a gift for coaches as well. 

This is my absolute favorite.  I know they must have sold out the the Detroit Lion Dammit Dolls (just kidding...no I'm not...sorry Detroit.) :-)   Instead of punching holes in the upholstery of their couch you can give the Dammit Doll to that frustrated fan.  I can just see DH (dear husband) punching the face in of this doll when their favorite player fumbles the ball.  This is a fabulous idea brought to you by PGH Patchwork Gal.  It may not be available for Christmas delivery but give this to them after because the college bowls and playoffs are coming up and they there will be plenty of "Dammit's" going on on living room couches.

This is a beautiful 2010 Desk Calender by Amelia Kay Photography that is the solution for people you hardly know but you picked for the school/work Secret Santa. These are lovely photos by the shop owner to admire in the home or office all year long.

This snazzy le petit artiste Art Set by  Pink Lemonade Boutique come in several designs and includes a sketch pad, pencil case and a tote to hold them all in.  The linen covered designs on the set give it a cool artist vibe.  I love it!

Remember the lump of coal your mom threatened you with if you didn't do your chores or finish your homework?  You can either give this as a gag gift to your friend that has a sense of humor (afterward presenting your real gift ) or anonymously to that co-worker who keeps eating your lunch.   The Original Coal Gram comes in a elegant red ring box with actual coal in the transparent box!  Find it at Coal Gram!
