4.  Snake ring:  this little guy is so detailed, he's even got etched-silver scales! Coil it up on your finger for an edgy look.  $29.99.

5. Roman Numeral Ring: I love how the numerals stand out against this ring's pewter-coloured background.  Plus, sometimes it's nice to switch up your dainty jewelry for something chunkier! It would also make a great gift for the Roman-history-buff on your list.  $29.99 

That's it, folks!  Stay tuned as the countdown continues!! 

Keep merry, and keep on decking those halls,

On the Seventh Day of Christmas...

Out of the Blue gave to you... 

Seven sweet little animals to delight you! 

I know, I know.  A WEEK left til Christmas?? Already?!?! Where does the time go? I hope you guys are more prepared than I am.  I personally still have quite a bit of baking / wrapping / shopping (eek!) still to do.

Well, here at Out of the Blue, we're visiting the animal kingdom to bring you some gift-giving inspiration.

(from left to right, top to bottom)

1. Ohh, the Gurgle Pot!  These fishes are so much fun.  Sure to delight at your next dinner party when you're refilling water glasses and your handy fish jug glug-glugs like a real-life guppy. Small gurgles are $19.99, large gurgles are $39.99; they also come in a variety of colours.

2. See/ Hear/ Speak No Evil Owls.  These darling little figurines will make you smile and remind you to be "nice" this holiday season :) $9.99 each

3.Gleeful Peacock bird necklace.  This unique hand-painted piece hangs on a long antique-gold chain and works with any neckline.  It is $39.99 and comes in mint (pictured above), red, and mustard. 

4.  Alligator sponge holder.  Don't worry, we've trained him not to chomp on your fingers when you reach for the sponge. $8.99

5. Leather elephant bank. The elephant is actually a feng shui symbol to bring good fortune.  It's supposed to work best when the elephant is placed high up on a mantel or shelf so it's easily seen.  Bring this lovely coin bank home and (we hope!) your fortune will grow!

6. Bird measuring cup set. Adorable, right?  Next time you're baking cookies, you can use your bird cups and pretend you've got little animal helpers, like you're in a Disney movie (....or is this just something I would do?)  $24.99 for the set.

7.  Horse pens!

Reign in a couple of these for the horse-lovers on your list who need some new writing tools.  $6.99 each!

Hope these fun (and furry) friends will help you find that special something for the animal-lover(s) on your gift-giving list. 

Peace!
