Because I’m such a sucker for Christmas, we’ve secretly had our christmas lights strung up since the beginning of October. I say secretly because we’ve only started turning them on now. It is November, after all.
Besides that, I’ve been working on my iTunes christmas playlist (“I love those J-I-N-G-L-E…”), reading up on caring for christmas trees, and thinking about starting my christmas shopping.

Seriously, there are so many gorgeous lamps available these days- even online!- that you no longer have an excuse for not beautifying your room (and home) with one.

Barbara Cosgrove lamps are available from Furniture of America.

But what if you’ve done all that (or, uh, haven’t gotten around to it), and you’re still stumped on what to get? Here, some stylish finds that should please any couple. And since they’re all available from Amazon (or through our Amazon-affiliated Store), buying them is just a click away:
