Please enjoy this collection of eclectic gift ideas. These are my favorite shopping destinations from 2009. And feel free to add your favorites to the comments field. Happy mindful shopping!

	Crochet Totes...made with love by Well of Creations on Etsy I adore my beanie and large cranberry colored tote bag from Robin's collection. A day doesn't go by when someone doesn't remark on my fab tote.
	EarthLife Shop - Healing Jewelry from Sweden via Etsy Each handmade piece has a meaning...my gorgeous crimson necklace (similar to the one shown here) encourages authenticity and speaking your personal truth. Other inspired pieces promote fearlessness, rejuvenation, introspection and more. And no worries about the shipping from Sweden, my goodies arrived quickly and with cool stamps!
	Yoga and Spiritual Books My book recommendations for any new or seasoned yogi(ni).
	Unique Yoga Music Playlists For all types of yoga practices from gentle to vigorous vinyasa.
	Flutterbye Aromatics Simply the most amazing essential oil based, 100% natural products for face, body, and hair. Simone's soaps make perfect gifts for any occasion, especially stocking stuffers. Her products are remarkably inexpensive for the high quality and care she puts into preparing each order. Oh, yeah and did I mention the products (especially the light moisturizer) smell amazing!
	The 30 Day Yoga Journey Give the gift of yoga for 30 days. Appropriate for newcomers and long-term yoga practitioners. A yoga-email-a-day for 30 days, and they can begin anytime. Daily emails include Mp3 yoga/meditation downloads, mantras, yoga philosophy and lots more. Plus ALL gift certificate proceeds support Florian's Causes charitable work.
	Melange Boutique-Woman's clothing and yoga attire Simple, elegant, comfortable, tasteful - that's how I'd describe Melange's selection of clothing and accessories. I discovered the online shop while searching for Hard Tail yoga tanks. They have a great Hard Tail shop, but then as I began to browse, I discovered their gorgeous selection of casual-chic clothes. The best part is when they arrive at your door...each piece is hand wrapped and there is always a personal note from the owner.
