Dallas Holiday Gift Guide: An Under-$50 Stocking Stuffer for Chip Eaters and Vampire Lovers

I’m pretty much a fan of everything San Francisco-based Gama-Go makes. Their gadgets are kitschy but practical, and I dig adding a little fun to mundane tasks. Take using a coaster, for example. Boring. Instead, use a record coaster! Woo hoo! Finding flipping eggs boring? Use a guitar spatula! But those are last week’s under-$50 treats. Allow me to add two more of my fav Gama-Go trinkets: Bow Tie Bag Clips for protecting your most special munchies, $8, and Vampire Suckeys key toppers, $6. If these don’t make perfect stocking stuffers, I quit. Find them at Froggies 5 and 10.

Local designer Rory Ashton creates earrings that are a sure bet for earning you compliments. It doesn’t seem to matter what I look like or what I’m wearing–it could be a tracksuit and clown makeup–people always stop me to ask me about my Rory Ashton Cluster earrings. The “Candy Cane” set above is brand new and unnamed, but you can order them custom from Rory on her website, but I suggest you peruse all the other options, too, which can be found at Krimson & Klover, Melanie Gayle, Mal Malouf, Jenna B’s, and more.
