I confess that in addition to my love of all things related to gifting, that I also have a secret love for browsing blogs for all things regarding home decorating...There's something about admiring perfectly designed on trend homes...I get lost in the "Oh yes I must do that in the living room!" or "That wallpaper needs to be mine!"...I've found that dreaming of decorating your home is much more fun (and much less expensive) than actually decorating and then yes re-decorating every time you discover a new trend or must have piece.
Years ago I discovered
Jonathan Adler.
His story is quite inspiring, you can read about him here, here and here. In short, he turned his lifelong obsession with pottery (discovered at a pottery summer camp as a child) into a thriving interior design business in 2002 and branched out with home accents soon after. A natural extension of the brand, the Jonathan Adler accessories collection echoes the artist's iconic pop art designs and promotes a "happy chic" aesthetic using bright colors and quirky patterns on umbrellas, laptop cases, and iPod, iPhone, and iPad covers. Each piece brings beauty and an unmistakable fun factor to things we use every day.
I tell you he had me at this Giraffe lamp:
And then at this Elephant lamp:
These are definitely gifts for those with deep pockets (these lamps are $395 each) but if you're looking for an original gift for an expectant couple who already have everything it may just be it! Who would not want this cuteness in their nursery?
Some items from Jonathan's accessory line are sold at Shopbop.com. Check these out, adorable, affordable and fun!
