A Snippet & Ink Christmas, #5

Here are some of my favorite things, most of which I've tried and love, the rest of which (1, 4, 6, 8) look too good to miss. They're all under $30, except for 6, 7 and 8, which are under $50.

1. How happy is this calendar by Magnolia Moonlight?! I'd love to have this hanging over my desk. $27 at Etsy. (I also really like this one-page wall calendar by Esta Sketch for $12.)
2. If I had to pick only two beauty tools, it would be these. Shu Uemura eyelash curler, $18 at Sephora and Chanel Inimitable mascara, $28 at Saks.
3. I could eat this burnt caramel sauce with a spoon. It's also good warm over high quality vanilla ice cream. $9 at Recchiuti.
4. Victoria at sfgirlbybay has these posters in a few different colors. $27 at Keep Calm & Carry On.5. I love The Silver Spoon. It's like Joy of Cooking, but with Italian food. Lots of simple recipes, organized by ingredient. $27 at Amazon.
6. Doesn't this Sun Jar make you think of fireflies in a jar? This little guy charges in the sun, and then lights up when it gets dark. $48 at Greener Grass Design.
7. These bowls by Bambu are not only made of sustainable bamboo, they're beautiful. Use them for fruit or salad. $48 at Branch Home.
8. Beautiful, simple stationery by Crown Mill makes a good gift for anyone. $38 at CS Post & Co.
9. I received this panforte last year, and I'm making it a tradition from now on. It's sort of like a grown up fruit roll up, made with apricots and almonds. Delicious. And it ships quickly. $15 at Panforte Company.
10. These candles by Archipelago not only smell incredible, they're made of clean-burning soy wax. And they're already monogrammed! $25 at Wrapables.
11. This butterfly kit would make a good gift for any budding scientists in your life. $30 at The Nature Store.
