2013 Holiday Gift Spectacular: For Her, Him & Fido Brandon gives us a few holiday gift suggestions for that special man, woman or puppy in your life…
By Brandon Smith, DCOOPMedia, #Designlux
For Her:
Zig Zag Eco Cotton Throw
We once went a year without cable. Just watched a bunch of NetFlix and old Seinfeld DVD’s. We have 2,300 channels now but you know, I kinda miss the static.
Love & Aesthetics
621 W. Fir Street, San Diego (Little Italy) www.loveandaesthetics.com
Brass Elephant Ring Box by Jonathan Adler
I am most particular about what goes on my night stand. Brass? Check. Elephant? Check. Holds my non-existent
jewelry? Check. We’re done here.
Bixby & Ball
214 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach www.bixbyandball.com
Vintage Mailbag Tote
The perfectly vintage way to deliver her yoga mat and lulu leggings to class.
Scout at Quarters D
2675 Rosecrans Street, San Diego (Liberty Station) Www.scout-home.com
Pragmatic Vase
Nothing says bourgeois like telling them they can have their cake and roses too. Just make sure it’s low-fat would you? No use losing our heads here.
Anthropologie
Fashion Valley Mall, 7007 Friars Road, San Diego www.anthropologie.com
Felted Wine Sleeve
I’m not always nice enough to bring the best bottle of wine to a party. But even when I don’t, I make sure it’s dressed well. There is no excuse for bad fashion.
Urban Kitchen Shop

For Him:
For The Skeptic
Ribbed Sake Set by Pigeon Toe Ceramics
They say it’s bad luck to pour your own sake. I say it’s bad luck to drink alone. Either way, win win.
From Haus Interiors
For The One With a Midas Touch
Goldies by Seletti
Be it a real a real King with the gift of gilt or just an Austin Powers lookalike, there is simply nothing with the power of gold. Even if it is in the shape of a rubber ducky. Bathtub not included.
From Love & Aesthetics
For The Inner Child
AJ’s Toy Boarders
Little green army… boarders? Could there be anything more love and less war? Hang Loose!
From Progress
2225 30th Street #1, San Diego (South Park) www.progresssouthpark.com
For the HOST with the Mostest
Opium Den Sign
It’s probably best not to say what can simply be pointed out. And I hate to imply anything. So we’ll let this speak for itself.
Scout at Quarters D
For Fido:
Reclaimed Wine Barrel Dog Bed by The Dusty Oak
There may or may not have been a time when I fell asleep in or on a wine barrel. Now my Belgian Malinois can do the same.
