Vol 135: Texas icons, Dr. Color, Santa cups + 4 more recommendations

1. Texas Icons Tote

Loving this embroidered tote adorned with Texas icons: longhorns, armadillos, even queso! An excellent $55 gift for the Texan in your life. There’s a California, New York and a few others too!

2. Ichendorf Milano Santa Tumbler

Drinks are 100% going to taste better when consumed using this glass. Pair two with the host’s favorite beverage for a last minute holiday gift. It doesn’t even have to be alcohol - my son would lose his mind to drink apple juice out of these. They also have penguins and snowmen for festive but not so Christmas-y feeling ones.

3. Dr. Color: Bob Buckter

Enjoyed this article on Bob Buckter, otherwise known as Dr. Color, the man responsible for so many of the ornately painted homes throughout San Francisco.

4. A.L.C. Ella Sweater

I gravitate towards a fair isle sweater + jeans this time of year for an easy way to get dressed in the mornings and I really like this one from A.L.C.

5. Framebridge The Ornament

Every year I purchase a Framebridge picture ornament and every year I’m so thrilled to pull it out of the box and reflect back on years past. They’re always slightly different so you never get the same thing and it makes an excellent gift for yourself or a loved one.

6. Printworks Photo Album

A photo album that looks like a high end coffee table, this is such a genius way to store and display photos.

7. Christmas Bath Bombs

My son Otto is obsessed with Christmas AND bath bombs, so these have been a real hit in the evenings.
