Mini Screwdriver Set
For the practical guy (or gal!), here's a practically perfect present that he'll use all the time ... probably even on Christmas morning itself, putting together one of the kids' new toys. You can't screw up with this gift!

Critter Collection Jumping Bugs
A sophisticated take on the standard jittery wind-up toys, these Critters, designed by Choco Bicalho, are sleek in both appearance and movement. After winding them up, they jump, spin or crawl much like the dragonflies or other bugs they resemble. (We'd like some for our desks, too, please, Santa!)

Monogrammed Note Cards
Posh personalized stationery fit for a queen ... for less than a coffee-and-donut combo from your local deli. Create a custom set for your mother-in-law, who'll be impressed with your high style and etiquette. (And she never needs to know you spent only $4 on her!)
Buy It: $4 for 20 cards at Vistaprint
R&M Black Pie Bird
For the gourmet baker or Food Network devotee, get this blackbird, which she can literally bake into her pie. (Just like in the nursery rhyme, "Sing a Song of Sixpence." Sorry, is that stuck in your head now, too!?) This ceramic doodad vents the steam out of double-crust pies so the top stays puffed and pretty.
Buy It: $4.75 at Amazon
It's frisky! It's feline! It's a flashlight! The glowing eyes make for a funky night-light for your kid's room (or pretend fort), as well as a smart backup light for any winter weather blackouts. And no batteries? Sign us up!

A tisket, a tasket ... a super-cheap and crazy cute basket! This adorable ceramic set is great for your kids, nieces and goddaughters. The price is so reasonable, you might wanna pick up several baskets to have on hand for back-up birthday party presents, too.
