stuff designers like (or in some cases, love)

I love this sassy and stylish post about obsessive, compulsive gift wrapping! If that stresses you out, just click for more pretty pictures :)

12/21 Update! I went to urban outfitters in the midst of my holiday shopping and tried the Panasonic headphones. They were really great! These from Urbanears are super cool too. A snug fit and seal for quality sound. Definitely compare the two for yourself to see which is best for your very own little ears. Added designer-y bonus… the Urbanears have really cool packaging based on your color choice.

I just keep finding things I want for Christmas. How lucky for you, dear designer’s husband! I’m so excited about these finds, that I don’t have the desire for witty banter. So let’s get on with it, shall we?

Corked Necklace in Color Wheel, $43.99 from ModCloth
Love the colors, the long chain, the dainty-yet-whimsical color wheel, the sweet corked bottle packaging… love it all!

Such A Perfect Day Calendar, $21.99

I’m the sort of person who loves calendars and the idea of a schedule. Yet, I’m no good at remembering to “flip to the next month” on those sorts of calendars. This whole-year-in-one calendar is perfect. And I’m really digging birds right now, so win-win!

Japanese Masking Tape from $6.75/2-pack on Happy Tape
Yes, I’m the nerd that wants tape for Christmas. Something about my mother never letting me tape anything to the walls has created this tape-collecting-obsession inside me. And the prettier, the better!
