It’s that time of the year again: Nerd Valentine! YES!
hi. postcards. ok.
There are *a lot* of people that would have every reason to send me that first card, on the left, ‘hi. i sent you an email. ok‘.
(via found it loved it)
Magnatab
My kids are completely crazy over this Free Form Magnatab Toy. They draw and write with the magnetic stylus, which raises metal balls to the surface of the sealed Magnatab base. And erase their creation by pushing the magnets back down with the back of the stylus or their fingers.
To me, it feels like taking designing for screen, pixel constraints, to the analog world.
Corkers
Next time you’re invited for dinner at a friend’s house, don’t just bring a bottle of wine, bring Corkers as well. They are a pack of adorable animal parts that turn any cork into a bunny, buffalo, bear, monkey or deer.
Soft Maps
It always puts a smile on my face when I see friends featured on blogs that I love. My studio neighbor Emily Fisher is currently featured on Herman Miller’s blog.
Emily creates stunning Soft-Maps, quilted maps of cities and neighborhoods that represent someone’s unique place in the world. She recently added baby quilts to her collection, such a fantastic gift for (designy) parents.
Maps on Quilts, made in Brooklyn? Yes, please!
Hang it on Bondi
Bondi is a handy little holder with lots of personality. With its trendy, flexible and colorful design, Bondi has only one purpose – to hold things.
Hang your cellphone from your work out machine while at the gym, use it to prop a book open, attach it to your stroller or bicycle, or make it hold your iPhone while you follow the Google Maps directions when you drive. The possibilities are endless.
One things for sure, my kids would love this little guy.
Liz Openheim
What a beauty of a ring. Hat tip to the designer, Liz Openheim.
What Time Is It?
Apparently not everybody is always running late; with this in mind, Team Tattly asked Julia Rothman to put a positive spin on her bestselling You’re Late Tattly to make Love Watch.
Wear it on a date, wear it to remind yourself that everyone needs a little more love in their life, or give one to a special friend. (Valentines Day is february 14th!)
Yay for new Tattlys! Love Watch!
Double Dish
Finally, a unique solution to that age old problem of what to do with the pit after the olive has been consumed. Yay for the Double Dish.
WhimseyBox
With a crafty obsessed 5 year old girl at home, Whimseybox makes me go ‘YES, Please’!

Burning Man 2011 X Dr Seuss
In case you haven’t heard of the amazing kids book Oh, the Places You’ll Go Pop-Up. It’s a fantastic book.
And I admit, I am not the Burning Man Type. But this mashup-of-the-two moved me.

Heart
My guess is that this brand new Heart Links Tattly by Jennifer Daniel will make bike lovers smile. (Tattly Tuesday means new tattoos, see them here)
Ok, Let’s Do This!
We are all back at the studio and just launched 4 new Tattlys that will help you tackle the new year: Now Or Never by Christoph Niemann, Ok, Let’s Do This by Marc Johns, Oh, Hello There by Mike Lowery and Thinking of a Master Plan by Arianna Orland.
Boble Water Filter Jug
Wow, the Bobble Water Jug definitely takes the regular water-filter-jugs to the next level. Can’t speak for it’s usefulness but its a conversation starter.

Self Inking ID Stamp
How charming is this Self Inking ID Stamp by Mikey Burton? #wantwantwant
Too Late To Ship…
Most of us are starting to realize that whatever we order will not arrive in time for the holidays! (#freakout) But don’t worry, we here at Tattly have you covered.
Since we do not yet have Tattly gift certificates, we wanted to offer a last minute gifting option:
Starting today, anyone who orders a Tattly Subscription Box will get an email with a printable ‘promissory note’ to give to the recipient. Tattly will still send out the box as soon as we can but you will now have something to give right away. The recipient will also receive a monthly shipment of surprise Tattlys for the next 6 months.
So don’t worry if you forgot to order your gifts this year, Team Tattly is here to help!
Ludus Ludi
I find this Las Escaleras (Ladders) game simply beautiful. #wishlisted

Who can resist a product that has the word cloud and happy in it? I can’t: Happy Cloud Coasters.

Foodies, listen up, we just launched a brandnew Kitchen Tattly Set. Yay for Julia Rothmann and her mad illustrator skills.
Camera iPhone Case
My new Fred Retro iPhone Camera Case makes me happy. (And my kids smile when I take a photo of them)
Caran D’Ache Red Metal Pen
Oh, the (Swiss) memories that just flashed in front of my eyes upon discovering the Caran D’Ache Red Metal Pen over at Kaufmann Mercantile. Trust me, these pens are a pleasure to write with and last forever, as you can refill them easily. Two swissmiss thumbs up!
Here’s To The Crazy Ones
