While paper gifts have been unfairly relegated to first year wedding anniversaries (and truth be told, how many of us will ever be married for that long?!), paper products deserve to be viewed as ideal gifts for any ideal situation. Let’s consider a few for the holiday season.
Communal Table: Something to Celebrate Cookbook by Caroline Hwang (price: $20* + shipping)
Previously featured as an artist worth collecting, Caroline Hwang has recently released the second book in her Communal Table cookbook series titled “Something to Celebrate.” Featuring the recipes of Tim Mazarek of Lottie + Doof, Amy Palanjian, and A Razor, A Shiny Knife, the first 100 orders will come with a 4 colour letter-pressed slipcover.
Paper Crafts by Essimar (price range: $6 to $86 + shipping)
Chicago-based Essimar (aka Esther Ramirez) creates the most luscious, inventive, and colourful paper crafts. I’ve been purchasing her hand-made gems for years and will only attach her cards or one of a kind prints to any and all gifts. Ditch Hallmark for something unique and inspiring.
Winter Bundle No.1 c/o It’s Nice That (price: $34.50 + shipping)
It’s Nice That is a blog I love to stalk. Always on the forefront of art, design, and inspiration, they’ve bundled copies of their printed publication for a discounted price. By treating others (or yourself) to Winter Bundle No.1, you will receive issues 5, 6, and 7 of their magazine + a copy of Future: Content.
Christian Jackson’s Children’s Story Posters (price range: starting at $25)
Hat tip to SusanBAwesome for previously sharing these wildly stunning and minimal Children’s Story Posters by Christian Jackson. Posters of various print sizes can be purchased via Imagekind.
