Christmas Gifts

Christmas, or Boże Narodzenie, is just over a week away.  I thought I would share an idea for Christmas gifts in case you are stumped and looking for something original.

Dom itp is a local Chicago based company that sells Christmas ornaments from Poland and other items, such as hats, sleds, etc.

You might have heard their commercial a few days ago on Polskieradio.com like I did.  In fact, when I sent a tweet out that I heard it, they replied that Dom itp has a "Best Decorated Christmas Tree" contest.  First prize wins a $50 gift certificate.


I just checked out their ornaments and have decided on three that I need to purchase for myself.  The "John Paul II and The Black Madonna" ornament and a Chicago ornament are absolutely necessary for my tree, I think.  I also love the Krakowianka figurine.  My older daughter personally wants the 3 piece set of Mushrooms.


Dom itp was also recently featured on Windy City Live:




Their prices are about what I paid while living in Maryland for ornaments made in Poland, so I found them to be reasonable considering they are much more intricate than the ornaments I have purchased thus far.
