I have organized a "secular secret santa" at the fabulous coffee shop I work at. I decided I want to do mostly crafty stuff, because it's generally the best way to get the most out of the small budget we set. The problem is, the girl who I drew to "gift" is super crafty herself, so I have to make sure I kick ass. Thus far I have made a record bowl and coffee/orange scented soaps. My next project will be to etch a glass ashtray, problem is....


I have NO idea what to put on it! I need ideas! Obviously, I know that it should be personal and perfect strangers aren't necessarily the best people to ask, but everyone who DOES know her is involved in the exchange as well...I don't even know what would look good on an ashtray at this point.

Some hints:
She loves coffee, cigarettes, Elliot Smith, wearing black, clever turns of phrase, art, her two cats, and weed.

And just so it's not text-only, here's a horrible picture of a friend and I with bookmarks we made--we were working at a children's book reading. (I'm the scrubby-lookin' one on the left)
