My eyes have been feasting on all the great gift guides around. Seriously, I need to remind myself that I don’t need ALL of it. I just want ALL of it. So, in classic mimic-style, I’m sharing too. I think it probably goes without saying, but I want to mention that I have no affiliations with the companies that have made these items.
1. Horror Novel We Have Always Lived In The Castle
It’s beautifully macabre. Once I began reading, I couldn’t stop. Sad, not in a crying way, but in that somehow beautiful melancholic way. It’s depiction of comfort coming from a routine of mundane things we do in life. At some points delving into great detail of setting the table for tea, making a list for the market, and gardening. All of which sound like they’d make for a dull read- they aren’t. If you’d like to read my full blog post about, see it here

2. Bloody Hand-print Shower Curtain
During a movie I was filming last Spring, I saw this shower curtain in the producer’s pathroom. It made me chuckle with the great nod tp Hitchcock. I found this on online at Flashwear.com But I am sure you could find it just about anywhere online if you search for it.
3. Brass Octopus Necklace via Etsy
Forget wearing it. I wanna hang it in my bathroom. I saw this hulking necklace while looking online at Canadian necklace maker Chrys Designs on the website Etsy.com. (For those that don’t know, Etsy’s a site where artists sell their trinkets & goods.) It’s a fun design, and there are a ton more than just the octopus necklace to choose from.

4. Blood Concept Cologne/Perfume
Independent Italian perfumery house created a line of scents based on blood type. They say “The human body is totally pervaded by a liquid vital rush that brings us what we are most fond of: Life. Filled with legends and meanings‚ blood is soaked with mystery, fascination and respect: it’s the most tested and studied part of the human body. Hiding the multitude of secrets that reveals our inner and unique way of being. BLOOD Concept is a ceremony devoted to the pulse of life and its visceral boost. It is actually the river of life.“
40ml dropper bottle $185 LuckyScent
5. Mother-In-Laws Tongue Plant (AKA Snake Plant)
Depending on size the price is usually $15-$45
6. Modern Alchemy Candles
Wonderfully dark and mysterious candles that seem to belong on the desk of a vampire. With names like Salem, Ex Libris, and Tincture of Winchester.
$45 Modern Alchemy sold at Candles off Main
