The Perfect Gift :: Personalized Coasters
Just returned from a long weekend in the Hamptons. My brother + sister-in-law spend most of their summer weekends there + we love it when we can sneak out to visit them. This is our 4th year going + my favorite part is spending time together outside, catching up over fresh vegetables from the local farm stands + fresh lobster from their local seafood shop. Which is why I am so excited to send them bright, fresh personalized coasters by the talented Tracy Goodwin of Paper & Ink Designs as this year’s hostess gift. At only $35 for 25 personalized coasters, they are a total steal! Great for parties, weekend getaways, new home blessings + everything in between.

Assistant’s Day is April 22nd :: Top 5 Gifts
If you’ve ever had a great assistant, you know their ability to keep your work life in-check means you can keep your whole life in-check…kick you-know-what at the office and still get home in time to eat dinner /walk the dog /tuck the kids in / watch the Real Housewives of NYC.
Hopefully you tell him / her how fabulous they are on a daily basis, but regardless, once a year it’s time to set aside a whole day for them, gift included.
Here are our Top 5 Gifts that Assistant’s will LOVE ::
1. Anything Anne Taintor :: All you have to do is read the sentiment to see why any assistant would FLIP over these laugh-out-loud desk items + cards. Show that you can laugh at yourself {even just a little bit}. That’s the gift behind the gift.
2. Snow & Graham noteBLOCKs :: Like flowers on their desk all year long. So pretty, so practical. Want extra credit? Jot down 3 super adjectives that describe your assistant on the top piece. Thoughtful without being sappy.
3. Picture Frames by Thomas Paul :: Even if they are deep in cubicle-land, you can give them a window to their outside world with these bright paper-wrapped, glass-front picture frames. Stylish + sturdy, they are designed by well-known home designer Thomas Paul. {While you are looking, check out the coordinating desk items. Great design for great prices.}
4. Luxe File Folders :: Chances are, if your assistant is filing for you at the office, he/she is pretty tired of staring at the same old manilla file folders at home. Help spruce up their home office with some amazing file folders.
5. The Glamourous, Patent Leather Audrey Bag :: Leave it to Russell+Hazel to make you feel glamorous even when schlepping files. Five flexible sections for files + accessories wrapped up in shiny, patent leather + sports gold hardware. In white or black.
Our Very Honorable Mentions…Thank them year-round with two more of our favorite desk items. They require a little more planning, so it’ll be tough to pull them off by next Wednesday, but they always make a big impression!
A Pretty, Personalized Paperweight:: A little office bling that will help keep your handed-off paper trail under control. Great for taming expense report receipts + other loose pieces of paper that tend to flap around the desk.
A Personalized Stamp:: All you need is their name or initial{s} to create a personalized stamp that can be used to turn plain paper into stationery, an index card into a recipe card, a sticker into a book plate, a roll of kraft paper into gift wrap. The ideas are endless.
This Just In…Orla Kiely Paper @ RedStamp.com!
I fell in love with Orla Kiely the moment I saw her handbags in Paris back in the {gasp} 1990’s. Orla Kiely’s playful color + sophistication was just a sight for sore eyes among 6 months of Parisian black. So, when we were given the opportunity to bring her paper goods to RedStamp.com I said “mais oui!” And here they are…My favorites from the collection…
