There are some top stationery gift ideas for Christmas on Papermash. A one stop shop for cool stationery, cards, gift tape (and they also very generously do very nice free downloadble craft projects)...

...you can also check out the wonderful Tea for Joy blog, written by the lovely Lynne (owner of Papermash)

Mad Girls!

OK, I can't resist it anymore, I'm starting my Christmas gift-ideas count down. To start off with, how about these great Joan and Betty Mad Men paper dolls - a great stocking filler for a mere 7 quid! At Culture Label

Charming notebooks...

...from Katy and June! Take with you on eurobreaks and jot stuff down whilst looking cool in dark shades outside the Café de Flore!

Holly Fulton @ Smythson

Big thank you to those peeps who left really nice comments about the recent Holly Fulton post, and so here's a bit of a treat for you! Ms Fulton must be on quite a few radars at the moment as I spotted the below diary she designed for posh stationers Smythson at Grazia Daily. This range hasn't hit the shops as yet, but I've also added some pictures from the Smythson blog. It would seem that Sam Cam, who is Artistic Advisor for the brand, has been doing her job very well indeed!

Paperchase New Online Store

I've just been checking out the new Paperchase online shop and I have to say, I wish I'd left my credit card at home! Paperchase have some great new designs for the "Back to School" season and have great arty things like scrap books, glitter, crepe paper and (my own personal favourite - the Mag Bag) to store all your favourite read and unread magazines! For overseas readers, they now deliver to most countries. Here are some bits and bobs from the new Cupcake range as it's National Cupcake Week (Yes apparently it is, although not sure who decides all these things!)

It's Pop It's Art

Literally. These cards are a perfect gift choice for muso friends/ family members or typeface loonies. Get them from brilliant online stationary store 1973. Choose from such classics as "The Ace of Spades", "Last Night a DJ Saved my Life" and "YMCA", amongst others - It's Pop It's Art Yeah!

Stationery Help is at hand!

All my friends and family have known about my stationery problem for some time now. If you have a similar problem (ie, can't walk past Paperchase without having to spend at least 3 hours rummaging, or dedicate vasts amount of spare time glued to Print & Pattern), help is at hand. I have now decided to have a stationery tab, so I can bung in all my favourite finds. This Cute Pug Dog card is from Hannah Zakari and is quite quite apt!
