My Holiday Wish List: Pretty Paper

I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who collects holiday inspirations and ideas year-round. It's my favorite time of year (made more so by the fact that Vermont is absolutely idyllic in winter - unless you have to drive anywhere)...and I'm always delighted to find something unexpected and pretty, whether it's a gift idea or the perfect accoutrement for a party.

Here are a few things I found today that will be indispensable year-round and during the holidays alike!


This handy little gift list book by Russell + Hazel slips perfectly into a handbag, making it the ideal place to record inspirations and finds. Love that it also comes with removable page markers. Now you don't have to rip pages out of magazines! PS All of R+H's products start with 100% post-consumer recycled content.



Pink can often be a challenge to incorporate into the holiday pallette. These coasters by kate spade solve the problem stylishly. Part of kate spade's line for Crane & Co., this paper is tree-free, made from 100 percent cotton.


Wrapping paper...so beautiful, yet ruined in moments! I'll be trying to salvage bits and pieces of this pretty eco-friendly paper from Riffraff and Black Pearl Press (made using waterbased inks and 100% recycled paper from French Paper, a hydroelectric powered, family-owned paper mill in Michigan).

Expect to see many more additions to my wish list soon...
