No, We Are Not Above Shameless Self-Promotion and Bragging

We just won a Best of Atlanta 2007 for Best One Stop Gift Shop!

Not bad for a 1 year old, nes pas? Indeed, we are just getting warmed up. Just wait 'til you get a load of us in 2008. We will be focusing on offering more and more great things from independent American designers and right now we are working with design houses in the Netherlands, the UK, France, and Japan to bring you sublime and clever things not readily available in the US.

We want to wish you all the happiest of holidays...and a sincere thank you for your support in our freshman year.

Peace out. :)

The Hillary Nutcracker

Oh come on...no matter where you skew on the political spectrum, this is just plain funny. The Hillary Nutcracker.

We just got a new shipment of these in today.

Pictures of You

One thing we were keeping an eye out for during the summer trade fairs was a really great and thoughtfully designed digital photo frame. Every one we came across in the trade; however, was...well...you know...sorta boring and uninspired and devoid of any exceptional design. Oh well...maybe next year.

We do love this Digital Scrapbook by Rag & Bone Bindery. It's one of our favorite gift picks right now.




Like all of Rag & Bone's books and albums,the graphics are gorgeous and they are beautifully handbound. It comes with plenty of photography paper and access to their website for 50 templates.

Our favorite new wall display photo frame treatment this year is the Finette Frame.



We love the ironic design reference of the uber-traditional and baroque frames set against the modern clear surface. It comes with the ribbon and the jumbo bronzy push-pin style wall hook. It was designed by Michelle Ivankovic for Umbra.

We also are digging the mobile effect created by this Dangle Frame designed by Michelle.
