Happy Friday!  If you happen to be out this weekend doing a little retail exercising or with the wonders of technology shopping on-line I have gathered a selection of gift ideas for the home that are under $25.  First up from Restoration Hardware www.restorationhardware.com are the Cast Metal Letters.  Made of heavy cast aluminum in a choice of 2 finishes these letters are perfecting for adding to a bookshelf or hanging on a wall.  Everyone loves to see their own initial.

Next are West Elm Square Lacquer Trays. www.westelm.com .  These 12” trays in a choice of many bold colours are perfect for serving drinks to organizing a dresser.  I love the pop of colour on a coffee table too.

The Pottery Barn www.potterybarn.com 12” square pillow printed in metallic gold on natural linen/cotton is a wonderful addition to any room’s décor.  And who couldn’t use a little more peace in their life. 

You can never have too many décor books and who better than Jonathan Adler, potter, designer, television personality and author.  Known for his penchant for colour, Adler’s 132 page hardcover book Happy Chic Accessorizing details how “your home should make you happy”.  And one can never have too much ‘happy’ in their life.

No holiday is complete without the flicker of a candle.  The Brixton Hurricane from Crate and Barrel www.crateandbarrel.com is a colourful departure from the usual.  The golden-yellow base made of solid sustainable shesham wood with a handmade glass pillar stands 11” high and 7” wide. 

Enjoy your weekend!
