last minute gift ideas

this year we'll be traveling during christmas, which inevitably had me come across some epic travel-friendly gifts. need any last minute stocking stuffers? these should all fit nicely in your luggage. <from the top, left to right>

1. custom camera strap – some cool shops on etsy found here and here (pictured)

2. travel dominos – because you never know when you'll need to bust out a game

3. mini-sriracha – it's always smart to be packin'

4. opinel wine and cheese knife – cheese plates anywhere anytime

5. flavored toothpicks – my favorite are the cinnamon {they have these at the check-out counter at stag if you live in austin}

6. filson daypack – the perfect everyday travel bag

7. carry on cocktail kit – cheers!

8. travel scrabble – the same reason as #2 

happy holidays!

christmas wish list

december is flying by and i don't want it to end! here are a few things that have caught my eye recently. santa, if you're listening <from left to right>

1. a fancy fan– ours is from costco and while functional it's kind of an eye sore

2. leather dining chairs – we saw these in the flesh at el cosmico and i haven't stopped thinking about them since

3. a new robe – remember me at hotel havana? i'd like that to be my everyday life

4. real cheese supplies – we currently cut cheese with a butter knife and it's not cool

5. john derian tray – this would pair nicely with our recent piece from brian salvi

6. heath ceramics – i can afford about two bowls a month, but one day we'll have a kitchen full!

7. campfire candle + balsam fir incense – they make the house smell like christmas even when it's 75 degrees outside

gifts for him (or for her)

hello, december. it's finally time for holiday shopping and i've put together a little gift guide to get you started. i tend to gravitate towards men's products for myself (jack black just smells too good), and think each of these will work for the man or lady in your life. click the images above to shop online, or come join me with st. bernard and austin tidbits tomorrow night, 12/3, for a festive cocktail party from 6 – 8pm. there will be shopping {including all of the products above}, drinks, snacks, a photo booth (!!) and a coat drive to support keep austin warm. and ... if you bring a gently used coat you'll receive $20 off your purchase of $100 or more. more details for the event can be found here. hope to see you x cheers
