Look no further! We here at Musely have compiled a short list of Top Ten gift suggestions for this holiday season.
Yes, you’re welcome.
ps. Jackie O’s three-strand pearls were fake and were auctioned off in 2010 for $211,000. So, I mean, really, this replica isn’t too far off.
6. President blocks – These are AMAZING. Wooden blocks with the faces of the US presidents, White House & presidential factoids AND the blocks make an American flag when all sorted in the right order. MAGICAL. Pure Magic. Now all I need is $89.95 and a baby who would appreciate this as much as I do.
7. Herb & Dorothy DVD – I’ve blogged about this film before (click HERE to read the review), so you should already know about its amazingness. The perfect gift for the art lover and film buff in your life. Because you don’t have to be a Rockefeller to collect art.
8. Dorothea Lange print – Dorothea Lange’s image of “Destitute Pea Pickers in Calfornia” (commonly called “Migrant Mother”) has become iconic. Factoid: “32 year old woman, Florence Owens Thompson, a Native American from Oklahoma, had already lived in California for a decade when Lange photographed her. The immediate popularity of the images in the press did nothing to alleviate the financial distress that had spurred the family to seek seasonal agricultural work. Contrary to the despairing immobility the famous image seems to embody however, Thompson was an active participant in farm labor struggles in the 1930s, occasionally serving as an organizer.”
Inspirational? Or slightly depressing…? Either way, for between $28 and $46 you can get this print & piece of American history.
9. Tiffany Stained Glass Magnets – Fancy magnets for the person on your list who loves fancy stuff. Because normal magnets aren’t good enough.
10. Leaf Book Marks – These leaf bookmarks/post-it notes are AWESOME! Perfect for the student or book worm on your list.
Inspired? Get shopping!
