Around Thanksgiving, I wrote myself a list of all the gift guides I wanted to write. (Do you read Grace’s blog? It’s one of my favorites and I love love love all of her gift guides.) And then I wrote approximately none of them, and it’s 9 days until Christmas, and most of you have probably already finished your shopping and read a million other gift guides. I, of course, have not finished my shopping.
I’m pretty sure you won’t find this gift guide on any other blog.
Gifts for the Llama Lover
A few months ago, I participated in a hackathon at work. My group was going to build some crazy fancy photo booth, and my task included photo editing of some of the animals/“props” in our photo booth. Deliriously tired, I chose a llama and found it hilarious, starting this weird llama obsession of mine.
So whether you’re a weirdo like me who’s into llamas, or you have a llama lover in your life…
Fancy Llama Sweater — “Because llamas can be fancy too.” I’m sorry, can someone give J. Crew’s copywriter a promotion? A+++.
“Ugly” Llama Sweater — Aren’t all llamas so ugly they’re cute? True story: at my cookie swap last weekend, I started the day in the ugly sweater and moved on to the “fancy” sweater for nighttime.
Llama Journal Stickers — For the llama-obsessed bullet-journaler
Stuffed Alpaca — I have this guy’s cousin sitting on my desk at work, and he is the BEST conversation starter. “Is that a llama?” “NO, it’s an alpaca…made of alpaca.”
Is anyone still reading? What’s your weird obsession?
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…

This is the best gift guide I've seen so far.
i'm a sucker for any critter sweater, which jcrew does so well!
I just bought a "ugly" christmas sweater with a french bulldog in a santa hat
I buy pajamas for my whole family every year (and a pair for myself so we can wear them together on Christmas Eve/Day), and this year I got llama pajamas for both myself and my sister-in-law :) I bought them at Old Navy and it looks like they're sold out of them online now, but there were a TON in store and they are a super cute print! Navy background, white llamas, and pink bows around their necks.
Thank you for bringing all the smiles!
Llamas are definitely having a moment. My mom noticed it when we were shopping after Thanksgiving (a sweater in J Crew, socks in Old Navy) and now I can't stop pointing out ALL of the llama-themed items. I almost bought a set of holiday cards (caption: Fa-la-la-la-llama). And I finished my shopping before I spotted this snow globe, but it's pretty awesome: http://furbishstudio.com/collections/gifts/products/llama-snowglobe
I definitely read all the way through. This is possibly my favorite gift guide I've seen this year. And timely, because I also haven't finished shopping. Whoopsies. Llamas for everyone!
