Well Designed Gifts for a Tight Budget


Let’s be frank. Times are tight. I just listened to a radio news report detailing that American consumers have spent all they can spend on high end goods and are now sticking with the basics. But, nothing says I love you better than a well designed gift, right? You could make a gift yourself which is always a fabulous option, or you could go to check out a few of Design Public’s affordable gems. (Let’s not beat around the bush: they’re sponsors!

Lotta Jansdotter Redig Coasters in Aqua - Set of 2 ($18)Lotta Jansdotter Redig Coasters in Aqua - Set of 2As a child, Lotta Jansdotter divided her time between her grandmother’s island home on Aland Finland where Lotta was born and the city of Stockholm Sweden where she grew up. These early experiences of Lotta’s Scandinavian culture, however diverse in atmosphere, helped shape and inspire Lotta. Lotta has both a deep appreciation for nature’s limitless beauty and a love for modern urban style. The balance between these two worlds is unequivocally present in Lotta’s contemporary organic designs.She launched her company out of her small San Francisco apartment in 1996, quickly establishing a strong local following. Now she works from her studio in Brooklyn, New York.


Fauna Terrier Pillow ($28)Fauna Terrier Pillow

Rustic is the new black-leather-and-chrome! It’s true–the newest last word in modernism and best way to show that you’re on the cutting edge of design is with animal-printed pillows and T-shirts from Fauna. And by “animal-printed,” we don’t mean zebra-striped and leopard-spotted; we mean actually displaying zebras and leopards, among many other animals, in sepia-flavored prints. Everything’s printed by hand, the T-shirts are soft, and the pillows are interestingly shaped. Fauna: bringing the outside in in a brand-new way.Want to know more?

Lotta Jansdotter Tang Tote - Brown Lotta Jansdotter Tang Tote - Brown

‘It’ bags are so overrated. By the time you have scraped enough pennies together to actually buy one there’s another ‘It’ bag to be had.

Lets start carrying screen printed totes and whimsically embroidered makeup bags by Lotta Jansdotter instead. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors there’s destined to be a Lotta bag that speaks to you. And that will say loads more about your personality than some bag-of-the-month.

Do Baby by Gabriele Pezzini


Do Baby by Gabriele Pezzini

Within this past year several people I know including my wife had a baby. And for some strange reason 2 of the babies that I saw born this year (including my boy Lawrence) were photographed at one point in a tote bag. So it was some sort of fate that I was sent an email to this product which is a tote bag made for carrying a baby. The product is called Do Baby and it’s designed by Gabriele Pezzini. The reason we put our kid in a tote bag is because we thought it was cute. Do Baby, on the other hand feels somewhat different. The baby feels a bit more like a commodity as if you were able to pick one up at any grocery store. Still, it’s nice to have a carrier such as this available to give another option for carrying a baby. As any parent knows, carrying a child is never easy, and a variety of positions with which to hold the baby makes life just a little simpler.
