Okay, so it's 2009 and I need to buy a gift for someone who loves Chanel!  Well... although it's a nice idea to drop all sorts of cash at your local Chanel boutique- think of something new and different- support an ARTIST!  I've never been one to buy boring gifts like a gift certificate, especially when we have the whole world at our fingertips.  Do we really need another Chanel lipstick, when you can buy something unique and hand made?

That was my thought when I went to ETSY to find something gorgeous.  And I did!  Maria Gil Ulldemolins is an artist based in Barcelona who has created this shop as a way to sell her many creations, at her Etsy shop, nosideup.

This is the perfect gift as it's a bit tongue-in-cheek yet it's practical!!  Use it as your grocery bag and still look like you're loving your Chanel!  While you're at the site, check out her other work, as well.
