Christmas time is a time of togetherness, and so is typically a time where a lot of marriage proposals are made.  If you’re thinking of asking the Big Question, then you might want to check out the gold engagement jewelry available over on jewelryvortex.com.  With free shipping, free engraving and a free gift box (+ a 30 days returns policy in case things don’t work out!) they are a great place to check out.

If you are simply looking for a special gift, then they also do a great range of 14k gold chains.

Anya Hindmarch a London based designer has created the perfect bag for those of you who are stylish yet environmentally aware.

Her ‘I am not a plastic bag’ canvas totes have been flying out of her Soho store since their launch in June, and have been seen on eBay with a asking price of $400 (though the highest bid received was $200).

The bags actually cost a much more reasonable £10 (c. $20) if you can find them for sale in the actual stores.

Whether more bags are in production, or Ms. Hindmarch intends to keep supply deliberately low, remains to be seen!

Canvas Tote Bag Central have found these funky little items for sale on the Sony Style website.

Made by Dooney & Bourke®, the bags have stylish little leather accents, in either sky blue, jade green or raspberry.  With a price tag of $150 they may be a little on the expensive side for a tote bag, but if you’re looking for something smart for that business meeting, then they could be just the ticket.   

Sony suggest them as great for holding your Vaio, but we’re pretty certain that they can be used for carrying your other generic laptops too (though they might not match as well!)
