Fun and unique gifts for the cat lover in your life. I grew up having cats and loved each of them and their VERY different personalities! If it weren't for my husband's allergy (he and my son both love them, too), I know we'd have a couple today. Instead, I will "pet all the cats" when I visit someone's home, and when I'm in my own home, who says I can't have a few of these "hypoallergenic" options to remind me of my furry friends and bring me smiles?! :D

Readers and “book nerds” are as diverse as the innumerable books that they love. While you may not know someone’s favorite author or book, there are a few things that unite readers. Below is just the start of a growing list. Look for more ideas and entire sections coming soon!

Want your father or husband to geek out over the awesome gift you gave him for Father's Day this year? From the father whose interests date back to the '70s when the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons franchises first made their mark, to the dad who has enjoyed the renaissance of board games and the growth of anime in the mainstream here in the United States, you will find a variety of ideas to (maybe) even get your own inner geek going. (Preparing this list for you certainly had that effect on me!)

If jolly old St. Nick just doesn’t fit your style or his magic has “worn off,” let me introduce you to Santa Caws. This funny crow, along with his love for all things coffee and cards (he’s a FIERCE “crowker” player, I’ll have you know) may be the overlooked, unlikely Christmas hero you’ve been looking for to fill that rather large Santa-sized hole in your heart. Embrace some humor and some whimsy, and believe in Santa Caws this year as we celebrate a Merry Crowmas together! Please note: I am both a Zazzle creator and ambassador. This means I may receive some affiliate earnings in addition to my designer royalty for referring you to the site. This money comes out of Zazzle’s profits and in no way impacts the cost to you. Thank you so much for visiting my list and for your support.

Mother's Day isn't far away, so if you're looking for a unique gift for the holiday, I encourage you to check out this list! If you have a little bit of a “DIY” spirit, you will enjoy some customizable photo presents. Have someone who loves nature? You have come to the right place. IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the links in this list are affiliate links. If you visit the site and choose to purchase the item during your visit, I may receive a portion of the final sales amount. This impacts your cost in no way. :) I only include on this list items I've created (and obviously recommend!) as well as retailers I've researched and products I think your recipient may love.

Some may try to hide it. They may protest adopting that cute dog or cat, but once they cave and bring their new furry family member home, that tough facade falls away. Other fathers may announce their love freely and often. No matter the type of animal lover describes your father or grandfather best, you'll find something special for them on this list!

Bunny Bags are an eco-friendly, fun, and easy replacement for the traditional plastic Easter basket, and these bags are customizable! Below you'll find four different bunny bag options, one that comes in 9 additional color varieties, that are not only an alternative to a basket, but an Easter gift all on their own. Having an egg hunt as part of the festivities? Bunny bags are a lot easier for toddlers who tend to tip out more eggs than they manage to keep in the basket (though *that* scene is admittedly pretty cute!) In addition to bags, though, you'll find additional gift options below, from T-shirts for a matching family photo or massive egg hunt egg-stravaganza, to some fun and eco-friendly options to fill their new bag.IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the links in this list are affiliate links.

Going “greener” allows me to examine multiple aspects of my life where I can make better choices for our Earth. One change is better than none, so what follows is a menu of options to consider if you'd like to make meal times “lighter” when it comes to your daily diet. My goal is always better, not perfect. I hope you'll join me.

Summer is full of outdoor fun and adventures. Stay safe and celebrate while doing better for your health and the Earth! IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the links in this list are affiliate links.

Especially geared toward low buy and earth friendly shoppers who want to give something back through their purchases, I hope there's at least one great find on this list for each of you!

For me, the ultimate in cozy games is being able to curl up on the couch or in a recliner with a blanket on my legs and my dog right beside me as I play. Nintendo Switch is my favorite way to play cozy games.

This list is in progress! I love to find new resources to improve my small creative business. Whether we sell on Zazzle, Etsy, or another POD or creative marketplace, we are expected to wear so many different hats. No one can be an expert in them all! My journey has been so much easier because of many of the people and places I share with you below.

Planning for a short trip to Seattle, Washington? We are! Check out this list for some options based on several favorites for fun and food for families, especially those traveling with a teen.
