FPM Design - Gift Guide

As we're in full swing of the holidays I thought I'd share some great gifts I have come across in my browsing. These gifts are of all price ranges and the only thing they have in common is that they caught my eye for their look, their ingeniousness or simply because they made me smile and that is really the point behind a gift.

Creature Feature

Anyone out there need ideas for gifts? To me in particular? Then this is it. Andrew Zuckerman's amazing animal photographs in one swanky hardcover book.

The images in this book are out of this world. We have all seen the picture of an elephant right? Think again. Zuckerman will blow your mind.

These wallpapers make me want to turn my daughter's bedroom into a powder room just so I can cover every inch of it, including the ceiling, in them.

 and while on the topic of wallpaper I would like to give a shout out to my fellow mom, Katie, and her wonderfully addictive wallpaper found at www.growhousegrow.com. It is impossible to chose just one design, but my absolute favorite has to be Captain Smith.

Just read the inspiration story on her website. Believe me you'll find yourselves scrolling through each design just to discover what's behind them.
