HausInterior.com: For a shopping experience which relies on the out-of-the-ordinary gift choices, start with a blueprint pad for $11, resin antlers for $38.50 apiece,  and  a blue striped pillow for $58.00. A super-absorbent towel can be used as a beach towel or outdoor throw, measuring  78 x 38 inches (with different color combinations available) for  $74. Classic plaid and striped rugs are perfect for cottages, entries and bedrooms require a phone call to determine size and price. A canoe wire basket holds all those extras in the bathroom ($35.00) and wallpapers are subtle in color and tone but amusing for adults and children, featuring polar bears, cricket bats,  zebras and appropriately hued pink ostriches . For vintage Navy ribbon-award inspired pillows, pick a deserving recipient.
