Well I might as well waste your time/Public Service Announcement

I thought you might be interested in my favourite on-line shops for Christmas Shopping. I like giving slightly...unusual... gifts, and below are two old favourites and one new discovery.

http://www.mezzo-mondo.com/

Posters and prints. Found it when I was looking for an attribution for the phrase "Et in arcadia ego" (there isn't one, beyond the paintings) and they have an amazing range of prints - I just wasted 15 minutes going through their vintage political posters range.

Think Geek - doubtless you all know about this site, but they have the cutest USB drives in the history of the world now.

http://www.hawkin.com/

Hawkins Bazaar - weird toys, cheap stocking fillers, and the best storm kettle in the world (espescially if you like burning old bird's nests).

Does anyone else have quirky favourites they can bear to share?

Lol - I was going to recommend hawkin. Firebox.com isn't bad.

Yes, I like Firebox and I Want One of Those.com for boys toys...

Two of my favs are www.silvercrowcreations.com and www.asianartmall.com... both are really cool... :-)

Oh, and I absolutely love hawkin.com... groovy! And those cute little USB drives... awesome!
