I love everything about these Alphabet Cards from CreativePlace's Etsy shop, especially those awesomely retro illustrations. I would probably have to buy two sets, one for the kid and one for me.
I'm a complete sucker for cute paper like these Walk Through the Woods Note Pad Sets from Cicada Studio at Supermarket HQ. I even have stacks of stationary that's too pretty to write on and mail to prove it. So I would love to get these to jot down quick notes or shopping lists, but we all know they would just end up lying nicely on top of my desk.
This Journey Journal from Cracked Designs at Supermarket HQ is such a great way to remember a road trip. It has just enough pages to quickly jot notes and thoughts, but not so many you feel like you have to write down every thing that happened just to fill it up. And the cover has pin holes over major cities and little pins and a string, so you can see exactly where you went.
I can't believe this Until Dawn Curtain from Dutch by Design is all paper. It's beautiful and intricate and I need to have them in my bedroom now. Just think of how nice it would be to wake up to the sun filtering in through all those pretty flowers.
These Les Moustaches Gift Tags from Fuzzy Grapefruit at Supermarket HQ don't really scream Christmas, but they would be hilarious on Christmas presents. Bonus points if you can match the facial hair on the card to the facial hair in reality!
I wish I had thought about Christmas cards earlier because I would have ordered a bunch of these Winter Wonderland Cards from SpringOlive's Etsy shop. I love the teal (one of my favorite colors lately) and the crazy illustration.
There are so many different things you could do with this Origami Kusudama from OrangeGuppy's Etsy Shop. If it were in white, it would look like a giant lit snowball. Or you could get them in reds and greens and hang them in a window instead of the usual Christmas lights.
I love the fall colors on this 8 Days-a-Week Planner from Bob's Your Uncle at Velocity. It has the regular Sunday through Saturday plus Someday which is great for people like me who have great intentions of getting things done, but always put it off until someday.
These little postcards from the MoMA Store actually make me want to start sending real mail again. They mail flat, but they give the person you send it to a little project to put it together and read your message. They would be great to use as an invitation or announcement.
I saw this Walls Notebook in Urban Outfitters, and I've been kicking myself for not getting it. Instead of blank pages for you to fill, it has photos of blank walls from NYC, so you can make your own graffiti, or just scrawl your notes across people's windows.
I don't know if I'd be able to use this notecube from the MoMA store. It's just too cool to start ripping pages off. And, since it's flexible, I'd probably spend a good deal of time just playing with the stack.
At work I use about a case of post its a day, but they just end up getting thrown out once the note is irrelevant. If I had these Origami Sticky Pads from Suck UK, I could both kill time, and make my desk a sculpture garden of yellow paper.
