Around the Clock coin purse, $28 at Le Sportsac. Because, really, in today’s economy, do we need a place for actual paper money?

Sesame Street Old School, Volume 2, $26.99. Picture it: 1974-79. Mr. Hooper is still alive. Elmo has yet to be formed out of a devilish blaze of red felt. Richard Pryor reinterprets the alphabet. And Fonzie and Richie Cunningham brush their teeth.

Admittedly, the title of this post only works if you’re one of the 43% of people who pronounce “vase” with a short “a.”*

But you know what always works? A small, inexpensive bud vase like these cute lil’ glass pieces from CB2 ($1.95). Stick a flower or a piece of mistletoe or even a candy cane inside, and ta-da!

Sometimes you never know you need something that you didn’t realize ever existed until you figure out it was what you wanted all along. . . kind of like these lip balm key rings from Etsy artist lavenderlizard. Keep your lip balm snug as a bug and handily clipped to your key ring, significantly reducing the number of Chapsticks you’ll lose in the dark abyss that is your purse. The perfect size for stockings or to affix to a holiday card. Fill it with applesauce to make it a more complete gift. Wait, no. That’s not right. Fill it with LIP BALM to make it a more complete gift. Fill it with applesauce to make it bizarre and useless gift.
