Holiday Gift Ideas Gift Guide: For the arts lover
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Today's gift guide is for those cultural folks, the lover of the arts, put together by our listings editor and arts writer Anita Overcash.
• Tom Clarks’ gnome creations come in a variety of styles and sizes. His newest, annual Christmas statue, “Ike,” honors former President David Eisenhower and features a gnome teaching a snowman to play golf. How cute! To see it, and others, go here.
• Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s newest album, Night Castle, is a double-disc with 26 tracks. It’s only $9.99 on www.amazon.com.
• Jennifer Mecca’s whimsical pottery can be found at Wooden Stone in Davidson.
• Art, jewelry, pottery (they have works by potter Jennifer Mecca too), and other pieces of art, make up Lark & Key Gallery and Boutique. My number one recommendation would be a dreamy painting (large or small) by local artist Duy Huynh.
• You can find an assortment of items, including mugs, coasters, belt buckles, and jewelry, that pay homage to Frida Kahlo at Pura Vida Worldly Art. In addition, the store offers an assortment of art and home décor of all types.

Holiday Gift Ideas Gift Guide: For the Foodie
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 12:00 PM
Today's gift guide is for the resident foodie in your life. Like Priscilla Tsai, our online producer and food blogger for EatMyCharlotte.com, who can eat anything and everything and still look fab. Here are her top five choices for gifts this year.
• Vosges Red Fire Toffee: I LOVE THIS STUFF! This caramel toffee is like crack. Sweet, salty, and slightly spicy toffee spiked with ancho and chipotle chillis and cinnamon, drenched in dark chocolate and spicy chopped pecans. ($20)
• Onion Goggles: Because crying in the kitchen isn't cute ... especially when you are cooking in front of guests. ($22)
• Vietnamese Style Coffee Filter: Make your own Vietnamese coffee with this simple filter. Let the coffee drip over a few tablespoons of condensed milk, pour it all over ice, and you've got yourself a cheaper and better-than-Starbucks iced latte. ($3.25)
• Pizza Stone: Don't have a brick oven in your house? Neither do I. But a heavy-duty pizza stone will cook your homemade (and frozen) pizzas to perfection with a nicely browned crust – no more soggy pale crusts! ($42)
• MU Kitchen MUbamboo Dish Towels: These towels have got it going on. They are lint free and streak free, super absorbent (7x its weight in liquid), and fast drying (the 10x faster drying time cuts down on the growth of bacteria.) They come in candy colors too to brighten up the kitchen. ($28.05)

Holiday Gift Ideas Gift Guide: For the lover of comics
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 12:00 PM
So, I'm a bit freaked out. Christmas is only 14 days away, and I have YET to begin my holiday shopping. I'm sure you're not in the same boat as I am, you non-procrastinator, you.
Well, just in case you do need some help, I'm compiling a gift guide to make things a little easier on ya. Each day from now until Dec. 23 (because honestly, I'm just not going to be worrying about your gift-shopping on Christmas eve when I'm sure I'll be wrapping my own up then), check back to Klepto to see gift recommendations for that special someone in your life, whether they're music geeks, film fan boys or arts lovers. I'm sure you'll find something worthy to be wrapped.
Today, our resident comic book geek, CL Editor Carlton Hargro, takes a small break from blogging over at Comic Proportions to list for you, dear reader, gift ideas for the comic book geek in your life. You can buy most of these items at your local comic book shop; to find a store near you, visit: www.comicshoplocator.com. Anyway, here’s the list:
• The Starman Omnibus Vol. 4 hardcover: When writer James Robinson penned the monthly adventures of Starman, I was a regular reader. And this giant-sized collection of the comic — done in a deluxe format — is probably the best-looking way to take a walk down memory lane.
• Spawn: Endgame, Vol. 2 trade paperback: This collection reprints Todd McFarlane’s relaunch of the Spawn franchise, with pencilled art by Whilce Portacio and inks by McFarlane himself. I skipped the monthly issues when they came out, but I think this story will be a great read as one fat, juicy tale.
• Newwave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980’s: I missed out on many of these comics when they were originally published, but this collection — featuring work by R. Crumb and Art Spiegelman, among others — gives me a chance to see some comic greats early in their careers.
• The Original Johnson Vol. 1: I’m not usually a fan of comic book biographies, but I’ve always been fascinated by the life of Jack Johnson, so I gotta read this.
• The Goon Gelaskin: I love The Goon … and as a result, I’m ecstatic that the zombie-fighting character created by Eric Powell can now adorn my iPhone in the form of a handy-dandy gelaskin cover.
