Personalized Happy Birthday plate: What a lovely – and useful – gift idea! For US$ 28 plus shipping you can get one of Claypotspottery’s microwave, dishwasher and oven-safe commemorative plates made especially for you or your loved ones! It also has a collecting and decorating feel to it! (please, ship internationally soon!)

Playtime sugar cookies in a jar: Roberta’s sugar cookies! That sounds perfect! For US$ 14 plus shipping you’ll get 6 handsewn cookies with felt and bead in an adorable personalized plastic jar! The yummiest play cookies around! (please, ship internationally soon!)

Poppy Rust Houndstooth Kimono Top: Puff sleeves constitute my greatest fashion weakness. So does houndstooth (which I might not confess that often…) and the clear chic factor that there is to it. This layering top is a very stylish piece in a timeless rust brown color. Definitely a wonderful addition to any girl’s wardrobe! Fits all sizes and ships worldwide!

Little Mermaid Print: Carla Sonheim, a mother of boys who never stopped being a girl, impresses me with her lovable art work. It is the perfect decoration for a baby girl’s nursery or a toddler’s princess room! This particular 5.5”x7” print stands out for me the most but there are loads more to be seen on Carla’s Etsy shop!

AquaFlower Bag: This handbag is simply gorgeous! An aqua with burgundy combination, it measures 11″x8.5″ and expands to about 4″ when full. Christina and Ronnie, the shop owners, ship their creations to a diversity of places, but maybe you can get them to send this made-to-order bag to your not-listed country if you nag them a little. Worth a try!

Tomoko Tahara – Original Design Hats and Accessories

I live in the tropics, which makes the use of knitted hats essentially a fashion statement. I always loved berets and bonnets, but wearing them in Brazil is not exactly the healthiest thing to do. But, seriously, who cares once you are faced with this level of cuteness?

Tomoko Tahara’s shop at Etsy has the most adorable hats I have ever come across in my entire life, from medieval to avant-garde creations. Absolutely worthy taking a good look, especially now that some of her handmade unique items are on sale!

Additional Info from Tomoko Tahara’s Etsy page:
. Ships worldwide from Canada! Could it be any better?

Child’s Apron and Baking Set: This is the right present for all those cute little cooking and baking enthusiasts who, from an early age, show their inclination to help mom and dad! This set comes with an apron, 5 wooden baking utensils, a tin of metal number cookie cutters and a small tote to carry it all around in (see photo)! You can also choose from a variety of lovely prints AND all shipping is free to anywhere in the world.

Crafty Fun Craft Goodie Pack: When I was younger the thing I would love the most about birthday parties was the small pack of surprise goodies that kids would get at the end. I could be entertained for ages while playing with my newly acquired Saquinho Surpresa, as we would say in Portuguese. This is pure nostalgia for me! Totinette will send you a packet of about 15 to 20+ vintage and new surprise goodies! Great for craft projects and collages!

Pretty Purple Flowers – 123 yards of Handspun Novelty Art Yarn: I am just starting to learn how to knit and am making my first scarf! As soon as I saw the lovely yarn made by inhope I could not believe my eyes (see photo). That is so me! I look at this yarn and immediately start daydreaming about baby blankets for my unborn children… Just perfect!

Medium Journal Distressed: I have a great love for stationary and sketchbooks and am always on the look for additions to my collection. I also cannot deny my love for vintage items… This leads us to conclude that this incredible 5”x7” journal is simply made for me!

Watermelon Ipod Cozy: These new technologic goodies are great but so fragile! Why not keep your Ipod or cell phone safe from harm inside this adorable watermelon cover? The combination of colors is absolutely delicious! (please, ship internationally soon!)

Mugwort Maggie – Specializing in Holistic Products for Natural Living

I have a trusty Dentist, Hairdresser and even Nail Specialist, but to this day I have not had an Apothecary! How did I ever make it without one! A Shakespearian girl such as myself! But I shall fret no more, because Mugwort Maggie has come along and she has Chocolate Scented Natural Laundry Soap (and tons of other adorable scents).

The feedbacks for her products are great, so as soon as Kerrin and I get a washing machine I’ll treat us with one of her magic packs made with petrochemical free, phosphate free, dye free, non-toxic, and completely biodegradable soap!

Additional Info from Mugwort Maggie’s Etsy page:
. Each 22.5-ounce moisture proof package contains enough concentrated powder to clean an average of 48 large loads (2 scoops) or 96 small loads (1 scoop). A natural wood, reusable, measuring scoop is included.

. She ships from the US and does ship internationally, which is undoubtedly a plus!
