liz of cozyblue writes with a sweet idea for a wedding or anniversary gift -- the screenprinted/custom-embroidered tree pillow ("also available as wall art, for those with juice-dribbling kiddos or animals who like to claw"). or, for your friends growing families, the adorable custom family tree. thanks for writing, liz!

something old! bakelite bracelets -- i had no idea they were collectibles. you could split up a set as fun bridal party gifts.

tortoiselovesdonkey: green (literally!) wedding favors

{ my little valentine terrarium }

good lord, would you look at the tiny plant. talk about a cool, interesting favor or placecard or whatnot. you can customize the tag and get an air or "dirt" plant in the teensy terrarium.

plus i'm in love with the other stylish options in test tubes and pyrex and concrete.
