And now for one of many posts about fun & fabulous holiday gifts. Here’s what we got for our cousin who loves to camp: a ceramic campfire that you can really set ablaze with a tea-light. Bring on the mini-marshmallows!

Here’s some other fun stuff that we saw while admiring the campfire on Fred Flare:

IPod Boombox Tinsel Tape Bottle Menorah

Who doesn’t want a throwback boombox with an updated twist (it blasts tunes from your iPod), some fabulous garland in 2-D (it’s tape with a sparkly tinsel pattern) and a make-any-bottle-a-menorah (it’s a cork with the candles attached). Brilliant. And you gotta love how affordable stuff on that website is. If you haven’t been yet, check out all the after Christmas sale stuff, like, right now.

Without further ado, here’s the one item on this post that’s not from Fred Flare… a homemade starfish Santa. We made three for John’s parents’ new beach house. All ya need are some starfish (we got ours from Michael’s) and some acrylic paint. You can also make them ornaments by gluing ribbon to the back. Ho- ho-holy moley that’s easy.
