Holstee Manifesto Cards by Yoko
There’s a good chance you’re among the tens of millions who crossed paths with Holstee’s Manifesto in the last year or two.
Maybe you read the poster or you watched this video. If it missed you, then lucky me to be the first to share this with you.
Our friends and good-life ambassadors at Holstee recently collaborated with designer Yoko Sakao Ohama to create a set of four greeting cards that capture treasured nuggets from the Manifesto.
If one thing is certain of such inspiration—it should be shared. Thanks, Holstee for another beautiful way to do so.

In addition to these new gems, the Manifesto is also available on a card in it’s entirety. All the cards are blank inside, “making them an open canvas for any occasion.” Especially fabulous as a New Year greeting, don’t you think?

And because we will never tire of videos about creativity, printing, and process, here’s a look at how the Manifesto cards and posters are printed:

I’ve been obsessed with idea since first seeing it. What a fun project to put a smile on the face of someone special.
Seen here as a fun decoration for a wedding reception. Brittany Watson Jepsen takes you through all the DIY steps to make Flying Wedding Couple Balloons over on Brooklyn Bride.

It’s such a whimsical idea for any celebration. So many adaptations come to mind. Birthdays—Flying High at 50! Over the Hill and Up in the Sky! And of course the younger kids would get a kick out of this too.
It’d be a sweet gesture on an anniversary too, don’t you think? Even more magical with plane tickets attached. (Wink-nudge)
I’d love to see this done other ways. What are your ideas?

Shot Glass Card by Fifty Five Hi’s
Birthdays and whiskey shots, they have a funny way of showing up on the same day don’t they?
Whether to toast another year or to forget just how old you really are, a shot of something strong usually does the trick. Fifty Five Hi’s has created a card to help you do both.
This birthday card has a pop-out origami shot glass in it. It really works. No, I’m not kidding. Watch the video:
It was a moment of genius the day Ross created this thing. Needless to say the first set sold out super quickly, but the second batch is set to ship next week.
Ross Moody is the one-man-band behind Fifty Five Hi’s, a design driven collection of greeting cards, art prints, desktop wallpapers, and more. Such greatness!

Happy birthday, Taurus, or Taureans, to be exact. Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by the bull, a symbol of strength, tenacity, virility, and power—all traits used to describe those born April 21 through May 21. But aside from their stubborn nature, Taureans have much more to them than just outward appearances.
They are patient, reliable, warm-hearted and enjoy the good things in life, whether earthly, financial, sensual or cultural. With such varied interests, spoiling your favorite Taurus on their birthday should really be quite simple. Here are 10 no-bull gifts to celebrate the special bull in your life!

Men’s Leather Aries Cuff from The Ravens Daughter
Independent, generous, optimistic, enthusiastic, courageous … these are all characteristics that have been used to describe Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, from March 21-April 19. Aries is symbolized by the ram, which has come to represent aggression and courage, making Aries an active, energetic sign. Arians are direct, straightforward, and uncomplicated and expect the same from others. Throughout history, rams were often symbols of leadership, and as such, Aries people are said to be natural-born leaders who venture out and approach life “head-on”.
Aries are complex. They have a combination of strong masculine and feminine expressions all jumbled up together. But don’t fret. If you have an Aries in your life, there are ways to show them you love and appreciate them and these gifts will do just that!
