gift ideas

I have a "gift ideas" folder in my favorites that is full of items I come across that would make good gifts. There are so many birthdays and weddings coming up and lets not forget about Christmas (::gasp:: already! Don't hate me for saying the "C" word so soon....) that I need to start planning for. Here are some things that I think would make good gifts AND are affordable. {I love these Ivana Helsinki coin purses. A great girl gift for sure!}
{These glass water bottles would make a good wedding present}

{Simple and classic. These small notebooks are perfect for the writer in your life}

{OK, I might want this one for myself. These 1960s pendents can hold up to $2 in quarters. Great for plugging meters and laundry mat visits (and only $25!).

What is the best gift your ever received?

I don't know if I could pick just one, but I love this antique wood box Ben gave me last year for our three year anniversary. Its so beautiful and it looks like someone spent a long time creating it. I'll try to remember to take a picture of it soon.

Happy Earth Day!

We all Know that Earth Day should be everyday so why not start incorporating small things in our life that can add up and make a big difference. Besides recycling your soda bottles, using all natural detergent, and wiping with recycled toilet paper you can also spend your money wisely on things that are not only stylish but also on stuff that won't leave such a large footprint. In honor of Earth Day, I put together some items I've been eyeing...

Office life doesn't have to be boring with these pretty folders printed on recycled stock paper.

Out with your rubber maids and plastic bags! Cloth Buckets can be used for a multitude of things.

Glass is the new plastic according to Swissmiss and I think she's right. I love these baby bottles and look how easy they are to grip! I have a baby shower idea for Grace now...

Cuddle up with this chic pillow made with a vintage chenille blanket. How sweet.

Feel good about wearing these red vino vintage wedges. And why not wear them with this reconstructed vintage blouse? Red looks good with stripes ya know.
