Did I Tell You How Divinely And Utterly Happy I Am?

Ok, if I had chosen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" as my wedding theme, and had the magical experience of having Martha Stewart design it, I'm pretty sure that my heart would explode with sheer joy.

Octopi And Politicians

Don't tell anyone, but I am totally sending these Barack Obama Valentines out for Valentine's Day.

And, for all the non-politically minded people on my list, they'll get these lovely Love Is For Suckers Valentines.

A Cook At Heart

Although I have a long standing tradition of ordering in Chinese food on Valentine's Day, I thought that I'd share this cast iron heart shaped casserole dish for any of you who might have the romantic tradition of making a casserole for your sweetie on that day.

Tuna casserole just screams true love, doesn't it?

Sucker For Your Love

I'm a sucker for novelty tape. I'm a sucker for Christmas. I'm also a sucker for nicely wrapped gifts.

Well, gosh, Atypyk, you sure know the way to my heart, don't you?

Pretty Paper Boxes

Ok, so you know how every Christmas you find a giant supply of those hideous gift tags from the dollar store, and you slap one of those puppies on top of every gift you're giving out and fill in the little To: and From:???

They're ugly and no one likes them.

This year, spend an extra dollar or two, and buy a set of these absolutely gorgeous patterned gift tags from Elfrida. They are so beautiful, no one will even notice that you just gave them a box full of newspaper.

Oh Christmas Tree

I have been wrestling with the whole Christmas Tree decision this year. Living on your own makes lugging a giant shedding tree into your house and decorating it seem kind of pointless. But really, how Scrooge is that to give up on a Christmas Tree?

I think Urban Outfitters may have just solved my problem with this simple and beautiful Ornament Tree.

Gift Economy

You don't even understand how into the "no more plastic bags!" mentality I've gotten. I've been refusing bags left, right and center. Which is why when I saw this Reusuable Gift Bag from Keep Calm Gallery, I literally squealed in delight at the thought of another type of bag that I could cut out the equation. What a fantastic idea!!!
