After more than a year of finding cool stuff every day for The Daily Find, we thought it would be a great idea to pull some of the best gift items for the holidays. Accordingly, I've put together three lists of thirty items: For Her, For Him and For Children, which I'm going to run over the next three days (the gendering of the lists is very loose and you'll find stuff you like on all three).
Got a great gift idea? Spread the love and put it and the link down below in the comments. Enjoy!

Nomade Express Slee...
Great gifts, as I am drinking green match out of a boring mug, wrapped up in an raggedy blanket and in desperate need of a bike, after my last green vintage schwinn was stolen!
LOVE that teapot. I wish I had room for a teapot collection.
Thanks for this list! Some of these items have been featured on www.orglamic.com and some were on our list for this year! I am happy to know that we have similar tastes, as you are a tastemaker like none other! orglamic is the online resource for "sustainable luxury living."
I browsed the ancient industries website (which features the brown betty teapot) and much of it is extremely affordable!
Love teapots - the original comfort shape!
I love the coverlet
The teapots and wool house shoes are awesome. In addition, orange is such a great color for a bicycle.
I need the orange bike for Christmas. Someone please tell my husband.
Guess I'm too old for this list -- not one thing on it I would want to get as a gift. (Quite the price range, though. $5 to $1100, I think.) I'm more at the low end of the gift giving budget, personally. The idea of an $1100 candlestick is just funny to me! (sorry)
Great gifts! I LOVE the Mexican embroidered coverlet! Beautiful. That orange bike is fabulous and little honey bear candles are adorable and within my price range. Will add to my growing list to Santa :D
@SherryBinNH we're laughing together!
And I don't think age is the issue here, I'm 32 and didn't drool over a single item. Ok, I paused at the coverlet, but at $275, I kept scrolling.
I think this necklace is to die for - definitely a statement piece - I've never seen anything quite like it. And, handmade, to boot! I'd like to find it in my stocking.....

Here are some completely frivolous items that I wouldn't mind having:
http://asequindressatbreakfast.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/7-under-77/
Mini Sequin Purse at GAP, $39.50 - These are so popular that they sold out on the GAP website, but I just saw it at the mall this past weekend.
http://www.westelm.com/products/origami-bank-a925/?pkey=cgarland
Origami Banks at West Elm, $12.99-$22 - These remind me of Jonathan Adler pottery at a fraction of the price. Great gift for new parents (for kids room.)
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3102219?origin=category&resultback=5256
Nordstrom 'Airy' Dip Dye Cashmere Wrap, $58 - Maybe you have to see these in person to appreciate the quality, but these scarves are really beautiful. I love how they fade from one color into another.
http://www.thymes.com/ProductDetail.aspx?nodeid=57576&parentnodeid=2037&productid=57550
Thymes Frasier Fir Candle, $26 - I will be the first one to tell you that candles are a waste of money - except for this one, which is out of this world. Smells like a room of Christmas trees. It's a very warm, welcoming, homey smell.
http://www.oliviersandco.com/
Balsamic Vinegar ($16 and up) or Lemon Specialty Olive Oil ($13 and up) or Organic Hand Lotion ($20) - The products from this company are outstanding. I have to mail order everything I get from them, and I ration them out like nobody's business. The 3 items above are my favorite of what they offer.
http://www.bellacucina.com/products.asp?cid=1
Serveware from Bella Cucina - In particular I am eyeing the Nested Mixing Bowls ($110) and the Antipasti Serving Trays ($22 and $33), but I'd take any of their serveware. I already have and love several of their Oval Condiment Dishes ($9) and their Spouted Pourers ($11).
For more holiday gift ideas, we've been adding daily to our list of favorite things for him, her & baby: http://www.urbansherp.com/green-holiday-gift-ideas-under-100
felt shoes..awesome.
66.98 euro + 16.75 euro VAT + 23.49 euro shipping to US = $141.85
yeah, but no.
SherryBinNH and Samanto - Yup, I'm 20 and that didn't make me like any of this stuff better. A couple of these things I wouldn't mind having - like the mugs or a simple throw - but I wouldn't really want em as gifts either. I also think giving home goods is sort of risky, because unless someone specifically asks for something, it's so unlikely to be to their tastes. If you gave me a bright pillow or a metallic pouf I would just be confused...
Like most things claiming to be design oriented, that flip clock is gloriously overpriced. It's really just a re-branded clock for older folks that you can get here for 75 dollars:

Of course you made the top picks for gift guides at EcoSalon:

Great finds.
