For the Big Boss | Baby Keepsake Memory Box

New parents have already gotten all their basic baby needs (blankets, diapers, changing table, crib, etc. etc. etc.) taken care of in their many baby showers and you know how fast babies outgrow clothes.  This gift is practical, sentimental and it lasts. It gives the new parents a place to collect their baby keepsakes; plus how many times have you heard parents coo over the teeny size of their baby’s feet?

$39.95 at Pearhead.

For the College Roommate | Egg Rug

I’ll admit it: I’m planning on getting this for myself. That’s how cool it is. The egg is this great irregular shape, and the yolk is raised a few inches higher than the rest of the rug. Could one think of a better way to cover up spilled drinks from last night’s party?

$24 at Triple B Studio.

Anthropologie Ensembles

Just wanted to point out something cool that Anthropologie recently started doing: merchandising their clothes not only by item, but by outfit!

Under an "Ensembles" category, They’ve put together eighteen outfits in total, nine categorized under "High Art" and the other nine listed under "Contemporary Art.

We think it’s a cool idea at it’s core.  We’re very pro-ensembles, especially since we try not to buy garments without knowing they’ll work with at least three different outfit combos.  It’s this spirit that’s behind our Ready Made Outfits: Women | Men). 

 What do you think about Anthropologie’s ensemble feature?  What do you like?  What could they have done better?
