Cheeseburger Wrapping Paper
Do you choose a wrapping theme for the gifts under your tree?
What’ll it be this year? Traditional hues and symbols, like holly or ho ho hos? Something shiny? A monochromatic palette? Perhaps something wild like Summer's theme this year—kraft paper and neon!
Here’s a new one for you—cheeseburger. With all the fixings. Oh yes.
Okay, okay before you get too carried away dreaming about a mountain of paper patties and sesame seed buns under your tree this year, this all-American wrap isn’t available just yet.
Designed by Sarah Fay & Justin Colt of NY, this cheeseburger paper is the first creation in a new gift wrap line called Gift Couture. The project is currently being funded on Kickstarter and they’re less than $300 from their goal to get this tasty looking paper into production and in stores by February.
In addition to being an instant smile maker, this paper has another inherent feature your recipient will love—six gifts!

Totem Stack for Your Kitchen and Your iPhone
In keeping with their playful sensibility, imm Living has launched a game for your iPhone. What’s this you say? Who? What game?
Imm Living makes charming gifts and objects for the home. Things like these Stacking Totem Cups and these Hidden Animal Teacups. I told you they were charming.
The game, called Totem Stack (based on the bestselling cups), is simply their effort to have and share more fun. It’s cute and it’s sort of driving me crazy. Turns out stacking cups is a bit harder than it sounds.
Grab the game for your iPhone or iPod Touch at the App Store—it’s free!

Learn Something Every Day
Back in the day, Snapple cap facts were my fave. I mean, how else would I know that the Statue of Liberty wears a size 879 sandal? Pretty positive that wisdom will come in handy someday.
Naturally, my eyes lit up when I stumbled upon Learn Something Every Day. It’s a simple illustration project started by Young, a creative agency in the UK, and it’s easy to get lost in these drawings for hours. For instance, did you know eating bananas attracts mosquitoes or that pogonophobia is the fear of beards? Cray cray for sure.

The Secret to the Perfect S’more
Click image to see it bigger
It’s National S’mores Day and we’d like to know, how do you take your marshmallow?
On the scale from rare to aflame, do you prefer yours barely browned and bouncy or blackened and oozy?
REI got me wondering about this and more with The Art and Science of S’mores. Did you know graham crackers were named after one Rev. Sylvester Graham? Yeah me neither.

I Spy Hipsters
Challenge your friends to a hipster-spotting contest. You already know how to play—snap a pic and be the first to fill your card. Who knows, you might win a fixie! (Not really, it’s just for fun. Unless the hipster fairy visits you in the middle of the night. Maybe put your iPhone under your pillow?)
If you find beards, bangs and Bill Murray endearing like I do, a game like this is icing on a delicious vegan cupcake. Betcha I could step outside and spot them all in a five minute walk to fetch a latte. (Man, I love Portland. And lattes.) Ready, go!
Cheese, Glorious Cheese
If Murray’s Cheese of the Month Club tops your wish list, then The Art and Science of Cheese will either fascinate you or make you a little squeamish.
