Unusual & Unconventional Gift Ideas
Basic black and white tank tops are great to have around, especially the extra long kind. They’re plain, but they go under pretty much anything, and they’re especially awesome when paired with shirts that are otherwise too short to wear without exposing a bit of midriff/backside. Right now, Delia’s has extra long (27″) black and white tank tops for $14.50 OR $5.99 each when you buy more than 1. And seriously, who would buy just one when two tank tops are actually cheaper than one? I know the picture shows a teal top, but they don’t appear to have any of those left. In my mind, that’s not a huge deal, since black and white Solid Layering Tanks are most useful to me anyway.

I’ve been trying to get my significant other to upgrade to a cooler wallet for 6 years now. Completely immune to my charms, he continues to carry the same old boring black leather wallet. So unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that he wouldn’t go for this awesome Stainless Steel Wallet. I’m making this post for those of you who are more fortunate - those of you whose boyfriends are open to stylish changes in their lives, or those of you who want your own stainless steel wallet to carry in your purse.
Uncommon Goods has the one below for $75-85, depending on whether you want the wallet or the credit card holder. Take a look:
It may seem a little nerdy, but I think solar-powered bags are pretty cool. In fact, I would proudly carry this Solar Powered Messenger Bag, secure in the knowledge that my gadgets would be charged as long I had sunlight. I’m sure it’s a great conversation starter, too, since they’re still fairly rare.
If the Messenger Bag isn’t your style, they also have a Solar Powered Backpack, which is probably a little better on your back, especially if you carry heavy loads. The backpack is $230 and the messenger bag is $240.
I’m not exactly sure why I titled this blog “What I’m Not”, but I own the domain and it’s a little too late to think about that now. In the future, I’ll be discussing my favorite products of interest to women and possibly the occasional men who may drop by. I certainly won’t encourage THEIR presence, though.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to e-mail me or add them to the comments section. I’m always open to new ideas!
