holiday shopping guide
not just for the holidays, but for any gift giving occasion.
edwardrhamiliton.com the place for books. some of the books are slightly damaged & if you don't mind that these are good bargains. i've bought from them for years and really like this company. most of their orders ship within 48 hours of them getting your order so i wouldn't do last-minute stuff with them. (it's been several years since i've bought from them.)
sock dreams the place for socks & stockings. i've never used them, but heard many good things. if you, or someone on your list, likes unique socks and/or stockings this is the place to shop. (have not bought from here)
humon on deviantart (i think she deleted her account) who does scandinavia and the world has some merchandise now. (never got anything from here.)
the guy who does rejected princesses has posters for sale, calendars & cards too (some from the blog, some from the books). and now he has a RP book with a bunch of new entries. (never bought from here.)
adagio tea sells loose-leaf teas & tea paraphernalia. they have all kinds; black, decaf, green, etc. & even fandom blends! (it's better to search for the one you're interested in, than to look through their list) there could be more than one for what you're interested in. for example; there are a couple for daniel jackson of SG-1, so read the flavor description to see if it's something you might like. they sell sample tins that make about 5 cups (except for some which are 10 or the ice tea, which is 6 pouches that make 40oz), so you can try it before committing to a larger amount.
they even tell you at what temperature & how long to steep the teas for.
make sure you read the whole page for the tea you're interested in, as some are higher in caffeine than others. (never got anything from them)
uncommon goods "If you're on the hunt for quirky, unusual gifts that are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, you've come to the right spot." gifts for men, women (both have subcategories like dad, mom, husband, wife & so on) geeks, the home & kids, plus many things can be personalized. (never ordered from them.)
snag tights similar to sock dreams, but 80% tights/pantyhose. the rest is leggings, shorts that prevent chafing, underwear, shirts, with some socks & clothes. for their tights/pantyhose they have 2 size guides; one for if you have a prominent stomach and/or butt & or for if you have a flat stomach and/or butt. they say they've tested their tights/pantyhose on sizes 1 to 34 and they show women of varrious body types, so you can get an idea of how things will look on.(never got anything from them)
thigh society anti-chafe shorts (not shapewear) that can be used for working out, sleepwear, under a dress/skirt for modesty or loungewear. they have sheer, semi-sheer & mostly opaque styles that can be worn as underwear or over it. they come in 3 leg lengths (5, 7 & 9 inch. 1 has 12, 17, & 21 inch options), sizes XS/S to 5/6XL & several colors. there's even a style that has a pocket. (never got from them)
