the pop out jewelry would be a great gift to give to my sister. i’ve never seen anything like that before!
Ainsley on 11.28.2011 at 09:41 AM
The crack-a-head trio is adorable! My mom loves growing her own herbs — it would be perfect for her!
Lizzy on 11.28.2011 at 09:41 AM
I’d probably give the “Endless City London” pack to my significant other. We’d have fun playing with it together and making art for our home!
tim r on 11.28.2011 at 09:44 AM
eggling mint to my girlfriend.
susan boyes on 11.28.2011 at 09:47 AM
I’d love to give the eggling basil to my daughter in law who lives in Brooklyn!)
JC on 11.28.2011 at 09:47 AM
Love the matucada necklace and the pop out jewelry – unique and fun! But the plethora of fun tabletop garden ideas, including the postcard garden and pulp fiction garden, I think will be my green inspired gifts this season.
Jamie G on 11.28.2011 at 09:49 AM
The crumple map of London for my friends going to the Olympics next year, and crumpled New York for my hubby who loves that city!
Sarah on 11.28.2011 at 09:58 AM
I’d like to give a Cochae Koten Origami Kit to my younger cousin. Last year he made us all origami presents. I think he’d really like this gift and he can improve on his origami skills!
Lissa Fairfield on 11.28.2011 at 10:02 AM
Oh man, My wallet did not need to know about this web site! Just bought the gloves for my sister and myself. I would buy the Batucada Jewels on the Skin: Bird Necklace or really any of the Batucada Jewels for my daughter.
Yuna on 11.28.2011 at 10:03 AM
I am going to get my younger brother the Hanitape wallet in green or blue. He loves music and has a passion for finding esoteric gems of all genres and I think he would like this unique twist to a wallet. Also, he leaves his current wallet lying around all the time but I think he’d take really good care of this one because of its design.
Ryan D on 11.28.2011 at 10:05 AM
I’d like to give a crumpled map of NYC to my Mother or the 10″ Pirate ship to my Brother!!!! Cyber Monday? Coincidence?
bonbon on 11.28.2011 at 10:14 AM
I am loving the “seedy novel” for my brother, the Eco EPs for my sis and the Gardener comic book for my dad :D
lorenzo c on 11.28.2011 at 10:15 AM
the modern pond yacht (pirate ship) for my girlfriend who has a pond by her house.
G Schopp on 11.28.2011 at 10:22 AM
Crumpled City Map of Chicago for my sister, to encourage her to visit more often. When she visits each year in November, our paper maps don’t seem to survive the Chicago weather more than half a day.
jackie wyant on 11.28.2011 at 10:26 AM
The crumpled city map of New York would be perfect! My husband surprised me with my first trip to NYC and a Broadway performance earlier this year, but he forgot to pick up a decent map! We had fun navigating the city with a hackneyed tourist map, but I would love to give him the NYC map for Christmas this year and say “Let’s do it again!”
Matthew on 11.28.2011 at 10:30 AM
I would give Batucada Sweet Flowers Necklace to my wife.
Becky on 11.28.2011 at 10:42 AM
I’d love to give my brother the New York crumpled city guide as he is about to move there in the new year!
Joanne on 11.28.2011 at 10:46 AM
I’d love to give Crumpled City Maps: Paris to my son, who is spending a term abroad in Mali, then flying back through Paris, where he will spend 5 days. He can crumple Paris with abandon during his 10 weeks in Mali and still find his way in Paris. Thanks!
James Sandquest on 11.28.2011 at 10:56 AM
Postcarden: A Mini Living Green City is so cool, my mum would love it!
Katia on 11.28.2011 at 11:05 AM
My nieces and nephew would love Nyokki Kitty
What a wonderful and cute way to display their “gardening skills” and encourage love for plants.
Kenny on 11.28.2011 at 11:05 AM
Eggling mint for my mom.
Sharon on 11.28.2011 at 11:28 AM
I’d be tempted to buy the tatebanko paper diorama kit for “The Great Wave Off Kanegawa” for my grandma . . . she’s had pen pals in Japan for the last thirty years, but has never gone there herself. She was probably my first source of information about places outside the Midwestern U.S., and I think now that she has great-grandchildren she could spend an afternoon constructing this with them.
Janneal on 11.28.2011 at 11:38 AM
I would love to give my brother the Recesky (Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit). He collects fun cameras, and this would be right up his alley!
Jeff on 11.28.2011 at 12:11 PM
I would get the London map for my wife. We have wanted to travel to Europe for a long while and are looking to get there next year!
Jenny on 11.28.2011 at 12:33 PM
i’d gift the eggling mint to my mom, who’s crazy about gardening (and loves mint too!).
Liz on 11.28.2011 at 12:48 PM
I would love to gift Bri, a close friend of mine, the Crumpled Map for San Francisco so it could be stashed in her pocket while she bikes around one of my favorite cities for the first time. Thank you so much for hosting this fun giveaway.
Ariel on 11.28.2011 at 13:21 PM
I’d like to give one of those maps to my dad, he is a truck driver and because of this he goes all around the country. I think he’d enjoy it.
Ben on 11.28.2011 at 13:57 PM
I’d probably get a postcarden for my girlfriend – it’d be a nice stocking filler, and I’m going to be away this Christmas.
Alyssa on 11.28.2011 at 14:46 PM
EGGLING HERBS! adorable for my bff Ariel.
Ryan on 11.28.2011 at 14:56 PM
I would give the eggling strawberry to my mom, she loves strawberries!
shayna on 11.28.2011 at 15:02 PM
The Paris map to my sister!
Matt Scribner on 11.28.2011 at 17:11 PM
The Nyokki Kitty Pet Plant would be an amazing gift for my girlfriend. She has a slight obsession with cats.
Mike N on 11.28.2011 at 17:15 PM
The mini postgarden looks delightful, perfect for my brother in law who would appreciate the garden in his uber-urban neighborhood.
Stephanie on 11.28.2011 at 17:18 PM
My father is a huge collector of maps. His collection solely reflects his love for New York. I could never count how many different kinds of maps he has for New York alone. I always thought this man’s need for NY maps was so silly considering he lived there for thirty+ years.(he now lives in Virginia)He is a human GPS system for NYC and its neighboring boroughs. But the man likes his maps.
I would love to see his face and one that doesn’t fol neatly.
natalya on 11.28.2011 at 17:22 PM
I would get the Crumple NYC map times 3 for my gal pals for our hopeful rendezvous in NYC in January!
David on 11.28.2011 at 17:24 PM
I would purchase the Golden Half Camera for my wife. Seems like a creative, yet economical product that we would could have a lot of fun with……not that kind of fun, keep it PG people.
Shegz Afolayan (@Shegz) on 11.28.2011 at 17:26 PM
I would give the Nippon Work Gloves – Pictogram to my dad. I think he would appreciate the design especially when working on one of his cars or even while driving one. :)
Tiffany Talato on 11.28.2011 at 17:29 PM
I would give a MicroGiardini Christmas Tree to my best friend. A little holiday cheer for her cozy apartment.
Alicia on 11.28.2011 at 17:43 PM
Would love to get a crumple map of New York for my husband. He’s been there for work trips but never for pleasure. This map is a perfect reminder that such a trip should be fun!
Aubrey on 11.28.2011 at 17:43 PM
I would like to give either the pop out jewelry or the crumpled city map to my sister. She is the coolest person I will ever know.
Thu on 11.28.2011 at 17:48 PM
The Sharan Wide-35 Panoramic Pinhole Camera Kit to my boyfriend.
Katie on 11.28.2011 at 17:58 PM
I LOVE the batavuda jewelry. Thanks for the giveaway!
word is bond on 11.28.2011 at 18:39 PM
I’d buy the pop out pendants for my mother, who was a former jewelry designer. They’re wonderfully simple and beautiful, while reminiscent of the Tord Boontje Garland Light, she loves so
Kel on 11.28.2011 at 18:40 PM
The Berlin map would be perfect for my partner who is perpetually disheveled, so he wouldn’t have to worry about keeping it neat.
Dan V on 11.28.2011 at 19:03 PM
I would (and might actually) get the KOLA Camera Accessory for my friend who’s recently started playing with different colored gels over his flash and lens. These would be a lot easier than flimsy cellophane.
Giselle on 11.28.2011 at 19:15 PM
I would give the origami kit to my 8 year old daughter. She loves origami and the frog kit is awesome!
Jolly on 11.28.2011 at 19:18 PM
I would probably give the crumple map of London to my boyfriend. He just moved there, and the plan was originally for me to join him next year, but I’m going there for the holidays and we are probably just going to call it quits at that point instead. I want him to enjoy his new city, though, even if I can’t be there to help.
Margaret on 11.28.2011 at 20:00 PM
This is pretty genius! I am also pretty intrigued by the Make City: New York Souvenir Postcards… I think I’d have a difficult time deciding whether to keep them or mail them. ;-)
Happy Holidays!
xo,
Margaret
Andrew on 11.28.2011 at 20:40 PM
I’d get a Crumpled City Map of Berlin for my parents who are going there this Spring
Candace on 11.28.2011 at 21:12 PM
I would give Artful Flyer – Night and Day to my son Andrew because he is just a big kid at heart and I can’t think of anything else to give him this year!
Maggie on 11.28.2011 at 21:25 PM
I would like to give the Crumpled City Map for New Zealand to my father. He is not the most careful of people, and he intends upon travelling to New Zealand, a favourite country, in the near future.
Shaun on 11.28.2011 at 22:51 PM
My best friend collects/plays/is obsessed with Ukuleles so I would give the DIY Ukulele kit to her for sure!
sp on 11.28.2011 at 23:39 PM
i would give MYSELF the youdoo pet (dog).
because it’s awesome.
Noah on 11.29.2011 at 12:32 PM
My brother is a photography fanatic. He’s been looking for a good toy camera to buy. I would love to give him the Recesky: Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit! He would just die!
Shari Bonnin on 11.29.2011 at 12:54 PM
Love the Egglings. I want them all!
Jess on 11.29.2011 at 13:17 PM
The egglings are so cute! I would get the mint for my girlfriend. She likes mojitos and she would kill any of the other herbs.
mary on 11.29.2011 at 13:24 PM
Would give The Golden Half to my dad who likes to take photographs.
Maria on 11.29.2011 at 13:29 PM
NO question: the “Make City: London, New York and Paris Set” to my 6 year old son is a spacial thinker like his mama!
Beth on 11.29.2011 at 13:45 PM
My Ukulele kit, to my husband.
Scott on 11.29.2011 at 13:54 PM
It would be fun to get the NY Crumpled Map for my little brother. He started his first year of college this year at a The King’s College located in NYC. It has been exciting for him to live in the Big Apple, but he doesn’t care for the school so will probably transfer to a school closer to home on the West Coast. I would want him to be able to use the map while he is still there, but have a great reminder of the fun times he had after he moves.
Romualdo A on 11.29.2011 at 14:03 PM
I would get a crumpled city map of Paris for my good friend that is traveling there next year!
Erika on 11.29.2011 at 17:10 PM
My step mom would love the tiny herb growing kit it a little blue boot :)
Diana on 11.29.2011 at 19:43 PM
The half pint garden herb growing kit would be perfect for my sister Laura! She would absolutely love it!
Quisicosa on 11.29.2011 at 20:54 PM
I would get the MicroGiardini—Kitchen Garden Set for my daughter. She loves to cook and would appreciate this kit.
Zac on 11.30.2011 at 09:23 AM
MicroGiardini Christmas Tree and I’d give it my dad, he always complains about paying silly money for a tree that dies every year. Top product!
Nate on 11.30.2011 at 16:06 PM
My brother would love the Recesky: Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit! It would be a great Christmas present for him!
Lakshmi on 12.01.2011 at 08:29 AM
My little godson and his sister would have so much fun with the Make City postcards!
Ethan on 12.01.2011 at 08:45 AM
My 3-year-old nephew loves airplanes- his dad flew planes when he was younger and I guess it’s in the genes. Unfortunately he’s a little young for model/RC planes, but I think the “Artful Flyer” would be a perfect starter for him.
Thanks,
Ethan
Chris on 12.01.2011 at 10:37 AM
Ooh, I’d give the Recesky: A DIY Plastic Toy Camera Kit to my eldest daughter. She’s photography mad (but needs to learn a bit more about the fundamentals). ;-)
Zdenek on 12.01.2011 at 14:27 PM
I would give the Berlin map to my boyfriend who already lives there ;)
Ashira on 12.01.2011 at 16:40 PM
The My Ukelele, for my friend who plays just about every other instrument
Lena on 12.02.2011 at 00:26 AM
I would send a Postcarden to my friend in New York!
Jeany on 12.02.2011 at 11:16 AM
I would give the Motif Cubes 01 to my boyfriend. He’s also a design enthusiast and a tinkerer by nature. I know he’d love the endless pattern combinations.
Erin Blight on 12.02.2011 at 16:21 PM
A NYC crumpled map would be awesome for my ocd friend who is going there for her 30th in February. She has to learn that things just can’t stay pristine forever and are sometimes better when they aren’t.
Jacqueline on 12.02.2011 at 16:25 PM
The postcarden is perfect for my best friends dorm!
Daniel Morel on 12.02.2011 at 16:35 PM
I wanna give my 5 years old, baby cousin a puzzle set of maybe 200 pieces. She’s obsessed with puzzle. She may take up to a day to complete one, then destroyed like all that work was nothing. Then she’ll do that same puzzle all over again. :/ she really needs a new one.
Alexis Y. on 12.02.2011 at 18:46 PM
I would get the Paris crumpled map for my roommate for when she studies abroad in January!
