Friday Find: Snap Scarves

How cute are these?! Aren’t you so glad I’m sharing them just in time for Christmas?

They’re made by Samoy Lenko and are sold on the designer’s Supermarket page.

Holiday Gift Ideas

Since it is the holidays and all, I thought I’d share some things I think are neato right now.  Some are pretty obvious (I mean, who doesn’t want an iPad?) and some are pretty me-specific (what, you don’t really really want a rolling computer bag?), but hopefully you’ll find a few that you think are pretty neato, too. Enjoy!

Brian doesn’t understand why I’m so obsessed with Apple’s iPad, but I think they’re super cool. I mean. Super usable. Practical, really.

Plus there are so many cute covers for them out there, like this one from Byrd & Belle:

Of course, having a great bag to carry your iPad around in would be nice, too.  I think Kate Spade has cornered the cute, yet professional bag market. Both of these would do the job quite well:

Did you know that Tartine Bakery, the maker of the tastiest bread ever made, came out with a cookbook? And it’s just about making bread?  This would be perfect for someone who loves to cook, but has yet to attempt bread.

I also think the River Cottage Meat Book would be a great gift for a chef who wants to grow their skill level and expand their repertoire. Or a man who just loves to look at raw meat {insert Tim “the Toolman” Taylor grunt here}.

Speaking of macho men, do you know someone who loves Top Gun, but you just can’t let them put a life-size poster of Tom Cruise up in their home? Perhaps this print from Moxy Creative House, nicely framed, would be a good solution:

I also really like their take on the Usual Suspects :

My mother in law has been looking for a new cutting board, and if Kentucky was a less awkward shape, I might think about getting her one of these state cutting boards from AHeirloom.

And I really believe that anyone would appreciate an amazing pair of slippers.  Maybe it’s just because my toes are a little chilly right now… For comfort + cuteness, I like these ballet slippers from Restoration Hardware.

For comfort + function, I like these ones from Minnetonka.

What are you craving for Christmas this year? What are you thinking about for your loved ones? I love hearing about fun new gift ideas, so please share!

Friday Finds: Doctor-y Wine Decanters

Know a doctor who loves wine? I do.  I know two: my father and my father in law. They would think these decanters are super cool.

However, my mother and mother-in-law might be totally creeped out. Maybe they’re better for vampires or those who are in love with vampires?

Friday Find: Sleek Spice Organizer

I am an organizational nut (remember that my parents stuffed my Christmas stocking with goodies from Staples when I was a child?) and when I saw this spice storage system from SpiceCare as part of Katie’s Mother’s Day Giveaway series I got a little weak in the knees.

Oooo… aren’t they pretty?  And they would work so well with the lazy susan cabinet I keep my spices in.  Sleek, functional, and oh so OCD.  Perfect.

Friday Find: Tea Submarine

Another cute AND functional Friday Find: the Tea Submarine

Perfect if you know a sailor who loves tea…

Friday Finds

I’ve been storing up some fun/interesting/cute things I’ve found out in the big internet world and am going to start sharing them in my new short and sweet “Friday Finds” series.  I hope you enjoy!

Today’s Find is the Puzzleboard from OOOMs:

I first saw it on Apartment Therapy’s post about Supermarket and then again on swissmiss.  How cute and functional is this little guy?  And pretty reasonably priced at $26 a pop.
