It’s Magic
I am a big fan of packaging in general but I especially love when it does all the work for you. As in, no extra wrapping required. Spotted this type-heavy, pine green packaging and couldn’t resist it for ye olde stocking. Just add twine.
Buy them online here. They come in all kinds of magical colors (the turquoise is my other fave).

“Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” – Joe Fox, You’ve Got Mail
There’s nothing more beautiful than New York in the fall. So beautiful!

Thank you, Steve.

Fouta Finds
Helloooo! Beautiful, awesome, water-absorbent, bright-colored linens that can be used as a towel, table-runner, shawl, beach blanket, throw to cover that ugly stain on your couch? Sign me up!

Here are a few of my favorites:
[Basic French], $40
The Kenza [Fouta Lifestyle], $40
[Neiman Marcus], $62-$72
[Scents and Feel], $51
[Indigo Traders], $35
PS: Makes a great housewarming gift. Just sayin’

Not so fast, Summer.
Still hanging on to those last days of warm weather? Me, too. Dip into Design*Sponge’s Summer newspaper—now available for download—for the perfect reminder of what it’s like to live in the land of surf and sand.
