Christmas countdown, part two

Nine weeks to go until Christmas, time for part two of the Christmas countdown of print-related pressies.

This week, I give you Papernation, online purveyors of lovely stationery and sundry items. This is a timely mention, too, because the retailer has a free UK delivery offer on at the moment. It runs until next weekend, providing a perfect window of opportunity to do some pre-emptive stocking up on Christmas goodies, while at the same time saving on a bit of postage.

To that end, I must point you in the direction of their Cavallini Vintage Christmas rubber stamp set. I bought one of these sets last year and it's fab. Perhaps this falls into the category of 'gifts for self' but it's a very nice thing to have around the house in terms of unleashing one's personal creativity when the time comes to start sending cards and wrapping gifts.

As a gift for others that simultaneously provides a bit of subtle print indoctrination, the Cavallini range includes other beautiful stamping sets including square and retro alphabets.

Elsewhere on the Papernation site you'll find a host of desirable gift objects, from swanky notebooks to decorated sticky notes such as this charming songbird range. Oh, and quirky stocking fillers too, including Japanese paper balloons. I'm rather taken with the monkey.

Happy shopping! And don't forget, please do get in touch if you come across something that's a contender for the next update of the print gift list.
