Union Square Excursion (part 3)

Union Square

The Union Square Christmas Market is in full swing. If you don’t know what to get that special someone as a gift, walk around the tents to get some ideas.

Hanami Real Flower Jewelry

Hanami Real Flower Jewelry

The first thing that caught my attention were these beautiful necklaces. They are real orchid flowers covered in resin from Hanami Real Flower Jewelry.  Not sure about the necklace? You can get earrings, broaches and hair clips too.

Sock Puppet Madness

I also came across these strange, yet adorable sock puppets at the Sock Puppet Madness booth. If you don’t want a Sock Puppet then you could get a Sock Puppet Portrait.

These pictures make me giggle.

Monkey Business

Seasonal Illuminations Gel Candles

Looking for a more traditional toy for a kid in your life? Then what could be more traditional than a marionette?  Monkey Business has quite a few to choose from. They even have unique hanging art and ornaments.

Need to get a white elephant gift for someone at work? Get them a Seasonal Illuminations Gel Candle. It’s not an ordinary candle; these come with fruit or flowers inside, plus they smell very good.

Tribal Home

This Holiday Season why not give a gift to your home? Beautiful lamps with colors to brighten up any home would make the perfect gift FOR your home. Check out the Tribal Home booth.

Looking for art that is fun, colorful and calls out to the kid in you? Edie Art has some great pieces that I would

love to have in my home. They are imaginative pieces that will make you smile.

The Secret Life of Toys

Not sure what to get the man in your life who loves movies and their corresponding action figures. Then you need to check out The Secret Life of Toys booth.  Where else can you see Buzz Lightyear drinking beer and getting buzz? Perfect artwork for the man who doesn’t want to grow up.

Now these are just a few of the booths they have available. So get out there and enjoy NYC by shopping at the Union Square Holiday Market.

While the market is fun and you may want to buy and buy. Beware. Check their return policy BEFORE purchasing. Yours truly did not and now I am stuck with something that doesn’t fit. I am looking into selling it on eBay or Craigslist.

Too…tired…to…write

Union Square Excursion (part 3) is postponed until tomorrow.

I’m not really sure why but I could not fall asleep last night until about 8:30 this morning.  I only let myself sleep for three hours this morning because I have tons of homework and a thesis paper.

Later this week I will blog about making my mom’s Dressing recipe. It’s a multi-step process and takes two days to make.

Depending on my back (which still hurts for some reason) I may make another excursion into an area of Manhattan. Still deciding on which area to visit.

Plus, I’m planning on going to my first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (if my back cooperates). Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am on the hunt for New York themed Christmas ornaments to give as gifts to little kids. Know a place? Let me know, please.
