Nothing screams genius like taking something practical and making it pretty. This pocket calendar, by Japanese stationery brand Delfonics, is perfectly genius. Hang it up and stow your month’s receipts (or mementos) in it. I do believe your tax preparer will love you. (For those with more to “remember”, there’s a larger version, too.) Available [...]

I just adore this coaster. (The design, the colors, the crispness, the fact that it’s letterpress!) Printed by Kent Aldrich at Nomadic Press, it was created for an open house, which gets me thinking: Wouldn’t it be fun to have your signature drink letterpress printed onto a coaster for a wedding/party/or just part of your [...]
