Supermaggie is today’s ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’  featured shop and let me tell you that is just so super terrific.

Supermaggie is made up of Maggie Kleinpeter & Michael Pittard.  Maggie is the creative force and Michael does a little bit of everything. They are both super nice people as well. ;)

At Supermaggie you will find some of the coolest tees around…seriously cool.  Their tees are wearable works of art and there are styles for both men & women available. Maggie also makes the most stunning felted scarves.  I’ve seen them in person and they are truly amazing and surprisingly soft. There’s also tees for babies, felted flowers and vinyl wallets (which are a collaboration with Slaughterhead).

Cool gift ideas include: this tee for guys (love that cutie of a model too), this gorgeous tee for the ladies, the Jumbo Slaughterhead wallets, this beauty of a scarf & the organic baby onesies.

And as if all that is not enough, Maggie and Michael are offering 15% off to Indie Fixx readers until  the end of the year.  Use the code 08IFDEC at checkout and save 15%!

12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping 2008: Imogene

12_days_header_small.jpg

Today’s 12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ featured shop is  Imogene.

Annie Chau is the designer behind Imogene, which is a very lovely line of jewelry. Annie is really a superb metalsmith and is definitely one of my favorites.  In fact, one of my most prized possessions  (until I lost it) was my fox necklace from Imogene.

In a world that one can very clearly say is over-saturated with jewelry designers, Annie’s designs really stand out. Just when you think you have her work pegged, she comes up with something new, but that something new is stamped with the je ne sais quoi of the Imogene line.

Gift suggestions from Imogene include: the Holiday Collection, the whale hoops & this adorable Bunny Necklace. You can shop via the Imogene website and at the Imogene Etsy shop.  I suggest you visit both as there’s different stuff both places.

Plus, use the code HANDMADE2008 for 15% off your order. If using Etsy just type it in the “notes to seller” for a refund, and if you shop via the Imogene webstore, then type it at checkout for an immediate discount. The code expires December 5th.

Before you head off shopping though, make sure to enter to win a Carrot and  a Hare necklace from Imogene.

To win: Leave a comment on this post with your favorite Imogene designs.  Multiple entries will be accepted, but you must leave a separate comment for each entry. This will increase your chances for winning!

I will choose one random commenter to win the prize. This contest will end Wednesday, December 4th at 6pm EST.

There’s also home decor and art, but no mainstream cartoon characters in sight. There’s also stuff that even some grown-up kids might like too!

Robert from Mahar Dry Goods is generously offering 15% off to Indie Fixx readers until December 31st. Just use the code MAHARFIXX during checkout.

Plus, leave a comment below to win your choice of a stocking and ornament by My Perennial.  You can see the available options below.
