'10 More Days Left'

Only 10 more shopping days left! Not sure what to get for the holidays?

As promised, here is another list of gifts to satisfy even the pickiest on your list, and still leave some money over so you can splurge on yourself!

After all, you’ve earned it.

Save $30

Stay ahead of the fashion pack with this cheetah bed set ($119.99). Ever since faux fur ripped and clawed its way here several seasons ago, you’ve been struck with jungle fever. You’ve already stocked your wardrobe with zebra print sweaters, faux rabbit fur vests and leopard silk camis. Well, now it’s time to move on to the bedroom!

This is one gift idea I’d like to keep to myself, but a girlfriend or family member might like it just as much.

And it comes with the whole package. No need to buy the pieces separately because the set includes: a duvet cover, two sham covers and two pillow covers. The micro plush bed covers and spread is also machine washable, making cleaning inexpensive and hassle-free.

You might have already signed off on your fashion resolutions and are looking forward to tackling them come New Year.

But when it comes to the child in your family, have you ever thought what a new year might mean to him, or her?

It could mean plenty.

A mini room makeover is the first step in a getting your child about what the new year has in store. The room as a canvas, get your boy or girl excited about to shoot for the next level in football, or ballet. A new lamp, perhaps a set of new curtains with sports-themed curtain rods ($19.99) are all you need for your child to get the sense of a fresh start.

I don’t remember the last time my parents bought new curtains for the house. My girlfriend has confessed that finding curtains to fit her oversized windows is one of the biggest hassles. And I’m 99 percent sure that my one male coworkers still doesn’t have curtains hanging in his two-month old, new apartment.

It might not be the most immediate purchase that comes to mind when buying for the home. Which is one of the best reasons to offer a blackout tie up shade curtain ($34) as a gift – now available in either purples or green.

The curtain satisfies a modern décor with its clean and contemporary design, maintains privacy, blocks out light and traps the heat inside the house better than any plastic blind would. The ruching effect already on the silk shade gives the impression that this curtain has been custom ordered for the window.

It hasn’t, but we’d like others to think so.

More Deals, cont.

As promised this Thanksgiving holiday, some more deals and steals at Décor Innovation to come your way:

Save $35.00

Now this is something to sink your feet into. This grizzly bear accent rug is now $84.99 from its original price of $119.99. Made almost entirely of acrylic and unlike others, the rug has a polyester backing. My sister already has this rug on her wish list, which she says is not only fuzzy, but warm and cozier than the typical floor rug.

Personally, I like the polar bear version in white, just as inviting, but a bit more glam (stick with the grizzly if you have pets or small children). The rugs are a great addition to a room with hard wood floors, or a room with a décor so modern that an Oriental rug won’t do.

And if you’re like my sister, you’ll love the gift.



Save $5.00

Don’t be fooled. This gift comes in a set of two. You can choose from a range of pillow styles – from faux chinchilla and mink to faux leather and printed floral motifs.

There’s an 18-inch square pillows for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Try the animal cow print and zebra for the college-bound student and brighten up her dorm room. Or gift a set of the faux leather pillows to the businessman or woman in the family, perfect for an office or study. For those with small children and infants, the donkey print pillow could be mixed and matched in the nursery or playroom.

I already have a pair black mink pillows for my couch; there to keep my chinchilla faux throw some company. The trio seems to be getting along nicely.

For more gift ideas, visit each week for a new list of featured products. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
