Unique Christmas Gift Ideas
My return trip to the "Brooklyn Flea" temporary Christmas "pop up" location (4th & Lafeyette, for those of you in New York City) yielded a few more interesting findings. I thought I'd share them here for anyone looking for an unusual unique Christmas gift.
If you have other ideas, add them to this thread.

Customizable Quilts - Street Maps of Your City
Well, of your city if you are in one of their covered areas. Current locations are: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The map is stitched onto the quilt. Then they customize it by stitching the names of the places you specify onto the map. For example, if someone is getting married, you could stitch in where they met, where their first date was, where they will get married, live, etc... Or whatever you can think of. A very unique gift.
