Elum Journals and Desk Sets

November 28, 2007 // kristen // 1 replies

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for your journal writing friends? Well, look no further than Elum’s gorgeous fabric covered offerings. I love the custom designs that grace the covers. $21.99 each.

Elum also has lovely desk sets — a complete collection of beautifully designed letterpress note cards and envelopes in a sophisticated storage box. Each set contains over 300 pieces and contains everything one will need (minus stamps and a pen) to keep up with correspondence. $150.00 per set.

Psst…you’ll want to check out their letterpress holiday cards while you’re there; however, many designs seem to already be sold out, so grab them up while you can!

Redbean Holiday Cards

November 27, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m digging these fresh, modern holiday card designs from Redbean. A must see collection for those with an eye for design. My favorites include (clockwise, from top left) Snowflakes, Robins, Reindeer, and Woods. $18.00 per set of 12 of a single design.

The cards are also printed using environmentally responsible inks, which makes them a great choice for those looking to shop “green” for the holidays.

Redbean also has an eye candy-licious collection of holiday gift tags. Alas, they’ve already sold out. But you can still look!

November 26, 2007 // kristen // 1 replies

Charming and oh so kawaii letterpress holiday cards from Fugu Fugu Press, a husband and wife team out of Pasadena, California. Alfie the snow dog looks quite content, and who can pass up friendly-faced chestnuts? Psst, even though Halloween has passed, you have to see their skeleton card. Brilliant design.

Clockwise, from top left: chestnuts, alfie, kobito elves, and happy hanukkah. $16.00 for a set of 8 of one design.
