I am wondering around the web late tonight and found
WANTIST. This site is so fun to browse...it spotlights super cool places, products, food, games, household things: basically - lots of things that could be gifted to well-deserving people in your life. Very hip, unique gift ideas for all. I love stumbling upon sites such as this. It makes the lost hours of sleep so worth it.
I'm sure that many of you are already hip and cool enough to have jumped on the Pinterest train... my friend Carly was appalled to learn that I had not even heard of it... Shame to me! It is my now my new favorite thing! Mainly because it's what I love to do anyway...find new, cool things and show people. It is a 'visual blog' if you will, and I am super excited that it exists (and a little bummed that I didn't come up with it). Have a blast. I am warning you, though - you will get sucked in and the time will fly!
And if you are so inclined - you may
ZuLily is a site that is similar to Hautelook, the site that I posted a couple weeks ago. It offers adorable clothes and such for babies, toddlers, children and women at a discount of 50% or more. It is a rotating gallery of online shops that have Super Cute Stuff so if you see something that you can't live without, you had better get it because it won't last. The shops rotate and change every few days. Everything usually sells out. I saw the most adorable little toddler swimsuits a couple of days ago. They are already gone. Look now and check back often!! You won't be disappointed. Use this link please:
zulily/cocomama's invitation and bookmark the site so that ZuLily will know that I sent you each time you visit! Thanks and Happy shopping!
I love to find that perfect gift.
Whether it is a hard to find quirky accessory or a silly reminder of a private joke. Or it could be that perfect piece of vintage memorabilia or sometimes a fabulous, unique gourmet food item. I find joy and satisfaction in the hunt. I love to browse sites that get my brain thinking of all the cool stuff out there waiting to make someone's day.
Here are some groovy sites, each with plenty of inspiration on your quest of
The Perfect Gift:
kaboodle,
spoonsisters,
hip and humble,
museum of modern art store (MoMA),
think geek,
curiosity shoppe,
etsy,
the cocoa room,
see jane work,
farmhouse wares
HauteLook is a really cool shopping forum that gives members access to INCREDIBLE savings from 8 or so 'top of the line' merchants for 2 or 3 days at a time. Most of these e-shops are high-end but with the savings offered here you can actually afford most of the items offered. I have purchased from them several times and have not ever been disappointed or felt like I was mislead. Things go fast so check every day. The site offers cash for referrals so enter
here and fill in your name and email to start saving! Then you can refer as many friends as you wish and earn cash for yourself! It's a genius little system. Happy shopping!
WELCOME!
Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
