Hey, Big Spender! Here’s some stuff we’d love stuffed in our stockings: front tents to trapper hats to teen dramas to travel accessories, and beyond.

Make this your weekend date, before it’s too late. The Beehive Bazaar will feature crafts and homemade goods by some of our favorite local artisans, like Armelle and Vinylicious. The show is today from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Provo’s Covey Center for the Arts (425 W. Center Street).

Bee there or bee square.

Check out all the $10-dollar sale tees at Threadless. You might track-down the ideal gift for your ironic-and-in-college little bro or leading lady with a hip sense of humor. Right now, we’re diggin’ on Big Cats (cute under a graphic cardi) and Alphabet Zoo (cute for lil’ kids).

Start your shopping right here.

Here are some items we wouldn’t mind finding under the tree. Your giftee can snuggle up with a cotton plush pig with lambswool lining, or a bright silk sating clutch. Or feel free to add one of the classiest cake stands we’ve seen around and a Canvas tri-fold Kate Spade calendar to your wishlist. We know we are.

Go Sale-ing: Sale’s on at Utah County’s Kaleidoscope Boutique. Head to the Riverwoods to enjoy the sweet shop’s Pre-Christmas Sale, where you’ll get 50 to 75-percent off clothes, shoes, handbags and more. (All a girl could ask for.)

Totally Bazaar: It’s finally arrived. Almost. Scoot on down to the Covey Center for the Arts (425 W. Center Street, Provo) tomorrow and Saturday to get a head-start on scouting-out one-of-a-kind gifts at the Beehive Bazaar. More details here.

Ira’s In Town: Last month it was Sarah Vowell, this time it’s the genius behind This American Life, himself. Head to Kingsbury Hall on Sunday to see on-air essayist-and-so-much-more Ira Glass at his best. Info here.

On the Big Screen (And the Little): Movies “August Rush,” “Love in the Time of Cholera” and “I’m Not There” are now playing. We’ll be opting for “The Waitress,” now on DVD. (“Atonement” and “Juno” are up next for debut.)

In Mmmusic: It’s a good week. Songsters up for your live listening pleasure include legends like Billy Joel (today) and Tori Amos as well as sooo-good Iron & Wine (can you imagine hearing ‘em in person?), once-local Joshua James, and former Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan. More details via Lacey’s Music Guide. (Head to Velour Live and Energy Solutions Arena to catch up on Joshua James and Billy Joel, respectively.)

Other up-and-comers? Ballet West’s Nutcracker begins next Friday, along with the December Gallery Stroll—featuring the highly-anticipated Fashion Stroll. More holiday events on the horizon….

Spotted: Cool limited-edition poster commemorating the release of the Utah quarter, designed by Zach Jones

Good For: Marrying your mother’s design sense and your father’s history buff-ishness.

Where: The Mandate Press (aka Seraph Stationery)

How Much: $75, printed on Cranes Lettra 100 percent cotton paper (now available for pre-order)

We’re taking things up a notch. Our collection for the quarter- to half-hunsky range includes everything from the luxurious (Hermes shampoo) to the delicious (frozen hot chocolate) for less than $50. We love Bloomies’ Eyeshadow Beauty Book—there’s also lipgloss—and we were sucked in by the lure of a poppy passport cover with silk-tie lining. And who could turn down that coinpurse? Or that red puffer vest?

Ideas galore, ladies….

Spotted: His-and-hers flannel patchwork PJs for kids

Good For: Cuddling and snuggling and staying warm and looking cute at all times

Where: ONEiTY (4010 S. 2700 East, Holladay)

How Much: $16 includes jammies and matching overnight bag, plus a flannel bunny for ages five-and-under

It could be for your little bro, your little niece or the little one of your very own. And you have to admit, these gifts are so fun/cute you wouldn’t mind picking up one for yourself (think Build Your Own Volcano and Lotta Jansdotter Soft Toys, as pictured below). Here are twenty or so that we think could raise you to Favorite Sister, Favorite Aunt, or Favorite Mom status.

We love online boutique and gift emporium Darlybird for three semi-obvious reasons:

1. The gal behind the online shop, Rachel Schutz, is one of our beloved Hatched ladies. (See here.)
2. Darlybird sponsored one of YHO’s very first giveaways. (Which means you should love her, too.)
3. Gift ideas galore. Seriously. From stocking stuffers to full-blown presents, the Darlybird selection is unrivaled.

Perhaps your mom-in-law would swoon over these Red Bubble Glass Bud Vases. Or your sister might go gaga for this Passion Pansy Pillow Cover. A Stationery Folio is sure to please, or try simple-and-uber-affordable options like lip balm or cute bobby pins for your besties.

Just head to the store to see what we mean: Gift shopping + Darlybird = TLA. There’s something for everybody. And don’t miss the new holiday collection. We love the Jingle All The Way bells garland.

{Doorprize!} Rachel still loves you, and wants to treat one YHO reader to a gift package that weighs in at over $100. The loot includes (prepare yourselves) a set of super-classy Freshwater Pearl Cluster Earrings ($18), a sweet and colorful Vera Wristlet Clutch ($24), graphic Mod Tulip Pillow Cover ($32), pretty and handy Alphabetique Rubber Stamps ($25) AND refreshing Perfumeria Peach Lip Balm ($5). Perfect timing for getting your shopping done in one swoop … or you could always keep the bundle for yourself. To win, leave just one comment on this post by 10 p.m. on Monday, December 3.

p.s. Stop by later today to see the second part of our gift guide!

10 p.m. has come and gone and the winners of the Just Be… giveaway have been determined, courtesy of Random.org’s integer generator. Congratulations to Elizabeth D., Marci Joy and Monica J., the lalalalucky winners of $50 gift certificates to Just Be.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting, ladies! Can’t wait to see what you get your hands on.

And thanks, again, Just Be…!

It’s open! Head to Trolley Square’s east entrance (just south of Banana Republic) to snatch up a few more of your favorite American Apparel everyday T-shirt. Or hoodie. Or tights. Or leotard, for that matter.

Store details here.

With Thanksgiving out of the way, it’s time to start those shopping engines. Last year we gave you 30 Gifts Under $30. This year, we’re offering (spectacular! spectacular!) YHO Gift Guide Week. You can stop by every day for categorized, easy-to-shop, gift-giving roadmaps—compiled with links to our favorite products from online retailers. We’ll also be popping in from time to time with gift ideas from our favorite local shops.

We’re kicking it off with a batch of $25-and-under trinkets, doodads and goodies for the ladies in your life. Follow the image links when you see an item that you—or that gal whose name you drew—might appreciate.

From how-to books to sleeping masks to paper products and plush booties, these are certain to warm her heart, or maybe her feet. And P.S., the monogrammed umbrella from Neiman Marcus reads $28 online, but in the catalog, we spied them for $19.99. Be sure to question the representative and get the right price!

Enjoy the holiday, friends. As we count our many thankful-fors this season, YOU, dear readers, have a place near the top of our list—besting goodies like hot water (or was it hot chocolate?) and liquid eyeliner. Yes, liquid. Have you tried it lately?

We’ll see you Monday, if not sooner. And THANK YOU SO MUCH for reading.

We know, we know. We’re confusing you. But seeing as tomorrow’s a holiday and all, we thought it was only fair to publish the shortlist a day early. Next week, we’ll be back on track with our new Thursday slot. (Thanks so much for the feedback!) Here goes:

City Goes Pop: Head to downtown Salt Lake on Friday afternoon to be the first to partake in the illumination of the city. The city-wide shindig kicks off at 4 p.m. Lights On! features shopping and light displays on 300 South; ice skating, Santa and carolers at the Gallivan Rink; a whole lotta lights at Temple Square; and a Jon Schmidt concert at the Gateway … and probably handfuls of shoppers. Get the details (including parking tips) here.

Sales!: Perhaps you’re into pulling 4 a.m.-ers at places like Kohl’s and Mervyns and Old Navy, or having what’s practically a sleepover at Fashion Place Mall. There are probably quite a few more, but two local sales we’d like to mention include the Day After Thanksgiving Extravaganza at Real Deals, where the first 50 shoppers get free gifts, hot chocolate, or better, Diet Coke. Also pop into Soel Boutique on Saturday for all sorts of discounts, like 20-50 percent off select women’s items, as well as a $75 raffle. Details here.

In Cinema: Head over to the Broadway to see “I’m Not There,” (hello, Dylan fans), “Love in the Time of Cholera,” “My Kid Could Paint That,” or “The Darjeeling Limited.” Or, turn to Fandango to see what’s new in your hood: “Atonement” or “August Rush”? Or maybe just another go-round with “The Bee Movie” or “Dan in Real Life.”

In Mmmusic: Take your pick: Silverchair, Manheim Steamroller or Tori Amos (next Thursday). How’s that for variety? More via Lacey’s guide.

Pencil It In: The Beehive Bazaar homespun goods extravaganza takes place at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo next Friday, November 30 and December 1. Wanna scope out the scene? Check the blog, and save the date.

Check out the letterpress goods of local lady Karisa Winkel. Though each has no-doubt been tailored to her clients’ wants and needs, we love that her designs are colorful and classy with a nice tough of unexpected fashion-forwardness.

Commissioned invitations like “Emily” from her wedding collection are case-in-point. Also check out the unusual and artsy appeal of “Andolyn.” Another great example? Be sure to check out the “Kerilyn.”

Karisa Winkel Designs also do personal stationery, die-cutting, corner-rounding and other fancy things. Check out the list of services here.

Hmmm. What’ll it be: Hand-sewn, hand-embellished skirt for your kiddo? Or personally-adorned, super-cute purse for you? It’s a tough choice, and it’s difficult to abstain from selfishness. Luckily, with the handiwork of Utah-based duo Just Be, you can have whichever you please … for you, or your little one.

Based out of Hyrum, Suzi Bates, with the help of her partner Jeni Carlson, whips up some of the most unique purses and kid-size skirts around. Bates graduated from Singer’s Sewing School at the wee age of 12, and has been stitchin’ up a storm ever since.

With Just Be, you might fall for the eggplant-colored flower stitched atop a bold, brocade-patterned purse (like this) or the ring of fuschia tulle that brightens the hem of a twirly skirt (like this). Or maybe it’ll just be a cute fabric applied to a great shapes, heavy on intricate details (like this, this or this.)

And on a side note, it’s also cool that Suzi and Just Be are big on giving back, whether it’s fabric scraps that make gloves for the homeless or gathering shoes to share with villagers in Africa.

{Darling Doorprize:} You can see Just Be’s items in boutiques from Illinois to Texas to France, but right now they’re focused on YHO readers. They’re going to gift THREE different winners with $50 gift certificates to the online shop, where new items are added all the time. Wanna win one of these beauties? Leave just one comment on this post by 10 p.m. on Monday, November 26. Good luck!

In the meantime, start your shopping. (‘Tis the season, after all. One of these wonders has your mother-in-law’s name on it.)

Let’s hear a hip hip for Laura C. M., winner of the grandiose prize package from Cecily Ink.

Remember, friends, you can still get your stylish gift wrap, gift tags and more right here. And don’t forget about that $14 calendar. Laura, we’ll get in touch with you soon.

Thanks again, Cecily! We’ve loved having your pretties on our page.

Spotted: Fun-size preppitty-prep-preppy gift cards

Good For: Dressing up gift certificates, dressing up gift wrapping, dressing up your paper stash

Where: New in the Mini Mart

How Much: $9 for six (three in preppy green stripes, three in Norwegian sweater red)

What’s that you say? You’ve procrastinated and now Tom Turkey is coming your way? Have no fear. YHO is here with tips, tricks, recipes and more to make your Thanksgiving anything but an icky bore.

Cooking for a crowd? Don’t hesitate to ask guests to bring side dishes and desserts that complement the main attraction. Or pretty please your favorite local bakery into preparing some rolls, cakes or pies that you can pick up the day before. (You can always turn to Marie Callender’s for pies—but order in advance, and perhaps Great Harvest for rolls.)

Throwing in the Towel? There’s still time to have the whole shebang catered: a sometimes-pricey-but-oh-so-attractive option for those who want to be thankful for a day of good food coupled with relaxation. Check out Wild Oats and Pinon Market and Cafe, along with any of these others in a fabulous list compiled by the Tribbies. See here.

Wanna Eat Out? Rumor has it that Little America, Creekside Restaurant at Solitude, and The Paris are ready and willing to serve up your Thanksgiving feast. (Anyone else have any other favorites?)

Still Stumped? Check out Real Simple’s life-saving Thanksgiving Cheat Sheet. It’s loaded with time-savers, make-ahead suggestions, opinions on the best boxed recipes, 60-second centerpieces and other ways to simplify the ordeal.

Or get thee hence to Williams-Sonoma, where loads of Thanksgiving foods, decor and bakeware are already on sale (we especially love the pumpkin bakeware and turkey tureens.)

Good luck, turkeys lurkeys. If we can do it, you can do it.
