perfect gift, japanese do it better. a&s by pp.
perfect gift
classically belgian
neuhaus and tintin were destined to cross paths at some point. three diffrent boxes of delectable chocolate, adorned with the quaint characters of the infamous comic strip. i would take this over a feature film any day of the week. get your own here. by dd
tabula rasa: gentelmens grey cashmere and then some
got our lovely thick tabula rasa cashmere scarf just at the right time, but months went by before we could get to posting the pix. luckily the weather has proven charmingly unreliable. find more lucious blankets and travel items here. by ts
Paper passion: Wallpapers perfume book by Karl Lagerfeld
paper passion perfume by steidelpurchased at liberty of london
well this looks very familiar! i think pp and kl may remember that…. i was in london few weeks ago and ran into this little lovely. i haven’t even smelled it yet but i guess i am the book lover they were after. the secret cut out book with hidden perfume bottle is beautifully produced by book publisher steidel. karl lagerfeld added a bit of cred but wall paper ruined the party a bit for me. nice still. by uh

Tabula Rasa: Let’s clear our minds a bit
hermes, missoni, burberry, and loro piana may have been your go to places for such gifts but generally speaking you’d have to bring along your first born child as down payment. well there’s a new kid in town and shes got some goods. made with the finest italian yarn, consisting of fine wools gently infused with elastane for a bit of comfort, these travel-size and full-size blankets, pillows and wraps are hand-crafted by british born emily diamandis (the master mind at rag and bone where she founded and still runs the mens and womens sweater department). if you are the cheerful type, the chroma-colors pass even my test, however if you are like me and an enthusiastic fan of gloom and doom then tabula rasa can supply you with a fine share of grey soft as a darkish cloud. can’t wait to get mine. by dd
Rani Arabella Cashmere Horse Pillow

campfire for dd
it looks like painted wood, but it’s porcelain. ‘still life with wood’ by klein reid studios is my kind of faux fireplace. the perfect post-holiday-still-winter-gift, and you can get one for me or for yourself here. by kl

to have and have another
now although the cover leaves something to be desired, i am hoping the content makes up for it in this case. a companion discussing the works of hemingway, and what drinks to pair when reading various novels, stories and anecdotes. this is a perfect gift for any hemingway fan or alcohol enthusiast. if you are looking to get me a gift this holiday season, i will take this and a nice bottle of scotch. cheers! by sv
