Ho Ho Ho, we're climbing the gift guide charts here at DC headquarters: today we've made it to the under $500 category. I'm hoping and preying that any of you taking notes have me on your list. I mean, those $25 gifts were nice, but don't you really want to show me how much you care? As Erin says, recession-schmession. At least, I think she's said that.

You know I love gold. and black. and gold and black together. So, basically, I'll be happy when you hand me any of these:

Love / Hate Convertible Chain Shades, $252

Suspiciously similar to D & G DXG Camcorder, $150

Lowrider Headphones, $128 (keeping my fingers crossed that you can find them in black. or just all gold. yes, all gold sounds good)

Loop Candelabra, $123 (I've been dreaming of owning one of these ever since Erin did This post)

Right out of my personal wish list: Pantone Color Bridge Set, $119

Ceramic Bubbles Candle Holder by Jaime Hayon, 387..... Euros (whont, whont)

Life Size Grazing Sheep, $448 (totally, completely, 100% worth the price) (seriously)

Equus Pedestal Bowl, $450 I wanted it for my table last year and, yes, I want it for my table again this year.

Humbert Throw by Missoni Home, $375

Park Planters, $100 You really should go to their site to check these out... most of the sculptures depict things you don't want to see in the park. Think George Michael. Got it?

Copenhagen Terrariums, $145 - $195 Perhaps these come with a handy guide explaining how to keep plants alive inside a sealed container unlike my vintage terrarium with, ahem, dead plants nestled under the plastic.

Braided Mixed Metal Chain Necklace, $120

Paper Cut art, $300

So there you go. 500 gifts for 500 dollars. I mean, a few gifts for 500 dollars. Whateves. It really doesn't even matter at this point since tomorrow I'll be bringing you the ultimate, most mind blowing Christmas gift of your scene loving life. Buckle Up.
