Perhaps I was in a dark mood...or maybe it was the conversation I had with my boyfriend about his favorite Christmas movie, "Black Christmas" [a Christmas horror movie!?]... either way, as I began compiling my holiday gift guide, I quickly began to see a pattern -- you guessed it: black! Despite the slightly dark tone of the list, the gifts are actually all quite lovely, practical, and well-priced [all under $50!]:
Write a note for your sweetie or create a design of your own: Chalkboard Candle, $19.50. Delight.com.
So simple and versatile, but with an edge: Giles & Brother. 3mm Spike Bangle in matte hematite. $45. Gargyle.com.
If your loved one must have a vice, you can at least be sure they are warm and cozy while they indulge: Smoking Mittens, $25. Spoonsisters.com.
Slightly dark, but with a wink: Gothic Black Pom Pom Scarf, $36. Fredflare.com.
Gorgeous notebooks, almost too pretty to write in: Set of three Black Dahlia Notebooks, $18.95. Momastore.com.
A bit gothic Lolita, no?: Black Hard Candy Heart Sunnies, $11. Fredflare.com.
A great gift for guys or girls -- practical and stylish: Large charcoal natural deoderizer ball. $45. Fitzsu.com.

emily -- my sister has the ring in gold, and it is so lovely. Now they have started making it in different colored enamel.
Fun stuff! I totally have those sunglasses in purple.
brigid -- I have them in neon green! I really want the black though...I would just wear them out, as if they were completely normal sunglasses ;)
I don't smoke, but I love those smoking mittens. Every time I see them online or at a store, I always smile.
The smoker glove is HILARIOUS. Whoever thought of that is officially a genius in my book.

Love the chalkboard candle. That's totally me.
Hey, since you're so good at the internet thing, why don;t you see if you can track down these shoes for me? http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/shoes-swatches/#comments
The first ones, not the boots. I love them!
Emma -- I thought of you, actually, when I first saw the candle! I'll do a bit of research for you on the shoes...
