This time I decided to tackle a set of people that I find difficult to shop for- the male population! Lucky for me, Etsy doesn’t disappoint and I found several great gifts that a man would enjoy! How’s your holiday shopping going? I hope you’re getting some ideas :)
1. Hand-stitched iPad Case– This sleek leather case will protect that prized possession (the iPad) and can be monogrammed too!
2. Forest Green Skinny Necktie– A little twist on the traditional silk tie that still leaves him looking dapper.
3. Rustic Copper Money Clip– This rustic money clip looks cool and can carry a personal message of your choosing.
4. Plans for Global Domination Spiral Notebook- Who doesn’t secretly want to dominate the world?! Keep your top-secret plans in this nifty notebook ;)
5. Upcycled Dark Grey Briefcase– He can use this great bag for travel or for work and the printed stag adds a special touch.
6. Hand-printed Rocks Glasses– For the man who’s serious about his liquors!
7. Deep Brown Leather Watch– This watch is classic in the best way, yet still very modern.
8. Retro Leica Camera Skin for iPhone 4– Look again- that’s an iPhone skin! How cool is that?
I’ll be doing 1-2 more of these gift guides, so if you have any particular theme you like me to tackle for Handmade Holidays, just let me know in the comments below! :)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

VELVET MOON DIARIES
This is interesting list of splendid gift items. The brown leather watch caught my attention. It was because I am usually interested on time pieces. Perhaps I should visit etsy too for more items. Thanks for the great gift ideas.
