Oh, you lucky Bostonians: tonight is the South End Holiday Night Out. Read more about it at All Stripes, and report in: I’ll be at home watching The Beekman Boys’ holiday special (have missed seeing Polka Spot).

Custom Thank You Notes: Page Stationery

darcy

Resolved for 2011: to write proper thank you’s. To that end, I’ve had my eye on Page Stationery’s line of custom stationery. The designs are consistently clean, and are set off by gorgeous typography. Treat yourself to a set + you’ll look forward to writing your holiday thank you’s too! (The Olivia design shown below is brand new from Page and is also available as a wedding invitation. I think it would be perfect for a spring wedding as it’s so fresh and cheery!)

Stroopwafels | The Good Batch

Love at first sight: I need to try stroopwafels, stat. Waffle cookies with caramel filling, sold in packages of twelve through The Good Batch, and also at Terrain, packaged or as a set with a hot chocolate stir stick and mug. Yumminess and the perfect winter pick-me-up. (This is the sort of gift I love to give and receive.)

striped sock set

Blodwen’s Christmas Gift Selector is packed with things I’d love to receive. Stripey socks, honey, chocolate …. what’s not to like? (The simple packaging is great, too: the HoHoHo tags are especially sweet.)
