Dichotomy Greeting Cards by Up Up Creative

Some days you can’t figure out exactly what to say, if left is right or right is wrong. Some situations you find yourself right in the middle, seeing both sides of something or feeling pulled in two directions at once.

These dichotomy cards are for those moments. They help you find a way to say what’s on your mind with opposite concepts that overlap in interesting ways. Like, “I love you. I hate that you’re leaving.”

I’ve had these fun notes dog-eared for a little while. I love the concept and the style but didn’t realize until recently that Up Up Creative's Julie Green is transitioning away from printing greeting cards. Ready for a dichotomy double-wammy? To sell through the line, they’re 50% off! But once they’re gone, they’re gone. Happy / sad.

Wedding & Anniversary Gifts? Studiopatró’s Love Set Is All You Need

Love Set Tea Towels by Studiopatró

Simple expressions of love around the house are a surefire way to bump up the cheer-factor in a home. However it’s not always easy to find gifts that assert sweet somethings and are also well-suited to today’s modern newlyweds and classy couples.

But I’ve found one for you, and it’s exquisite. I was fortunate to catch a sneak peek of Studiopatró’s new Love set of linen tea towels at a local event a couple weeks ago. I’d admired their textiles from afar so it was a treat to see and touch the linens in person. And for the record Studiopatró creator, Christina, is just as chic and lovely as the the line itself.

So, the Love Set! This set of hand-printed towels was just added to their shop today. It’s the kind of gift you’ll find yourself buying three of—one for you, one for a lucky couple, and one for all the other fun things you can do with them. I’ll s’plain…

Scrabble Typography Edition

Scrabble Typography Edition, designed by Andrew Clifford Carpenter

Hey typography fans, here’s a gift for you!

Last year Andrew Capener had an idea. He wanted to revive an old, but loved game. The idea was to excite people about typography by giving them the ability to choose what font their Scrabble set would come in.

He created a prototype and won over the hearts of the people at Hasbro. After months in production, a limited edition set is now available for pre-order!

This is no ordinary Scrabble game. Oh no. It includes a beautiful solid walnut storage case with drawers and metal tile racks. The gameboard is made of six panels of solid walnut that are lined with cork and magnetized so that they snap together and create a smooth playing surface.

And the most exciting part of this luxury edition? The walnut game tiles feature a variety of beautiful fonts. Additional fonts are expected to be available for purchase after this initial release.

Time for a typography geek-out game night, friends!
