Wishlist: Part 2 (Geek Chic)
Since my birthday is now just 2 days away, I figured I'd better start to get this prezzie parade wrapped up. I had to break my home stuff wishlist into two parts, since apparently that's what I really, really want for my birthday this year. I used to think that getting stuff for my home was boring, but I guess a sign of growing up is being excited about things like cutting boards and salt shakers. I'm also pretty certain that no one could call these cutting boards and salt shakers boring, but that's just my own opinion.
1. Grand Taxonomy of Rap Names - I'm a sucker for two things: great prints and hip-hop, and this illustrated beauty from Brooklyn's Pop Chart Lab does a bang-up job of combining the two. You have to look at the zoomed-in photo to really grasp its greatness, but trust me, it's pretty spectacular. It would also look pretty spectacular hanging on one of our walls!
2. Travel French Press - OK, truth time: I already know I'm getting this for my birthday. Marcus isn't very good at hiding things (although when it gets left in my Amazon shopping cart, I don't know how I wasn't supposed to find it), but that's alright. I bugged him incessantly at the grocery store one day to buy me one of these, so the fact that he got me one really isn't shocking I'm just excited that I'll be enjoying delicious french press coffee on the go, instead of that horrible stuff they try to pass as coffee at work. Blecch.
3. Lunch Box with Water Bobble - I LOVE BOBBLE. Let me just get that out there. My 32 oz.-er has gotten me in the habit of drinking almost 8 cups per day, which is something I've struggled with for, oh, about 27 years. Knowing that I'll always have clean water at the ready is pretty important, and I'm not tossing out countless plastic bottles anymore (I recycled them, don't worry!). I love the idea of having a more travel-friendly size for when I take my lunch to work, which is happening more and more these days.
4. Mr. & Mrs. Muse Salt and Pepper Shaker - I'm pretty much in love with anything Jonathan Adler makes. A lot of it is a bit out of my price range (unless it's on pretty hefty clearance), but these quirky salt and pepper shakers aren't too unreasonable. Plus they'd keep with my current theme of all-white shakers (current collection count: 1 set).
5. Kansas Cutting Board - I don't think I really need to explain why I want this. I love my home state, and I love collecting fun things for my kitchen. This would also match nicely with my Truche I Heart Kansas necklace, which is obviously necessary. Oh, and doesn't Kansas make the perfect cutting board shape? Look at all that workspace!

I really need you to have that Kansas cutting board - somebody needs to! ANd yes, it does indeed make the perfect work space! I have a Kansas BFF necklace I bought my best friend for being my maid of honor. It's from Early jewelry and it is bad ass!
i wonder how they would configure a hawaii cutting board... haha ;)
i love the idea of making birthday wishlists!!
Hi Sara! I completely understand and relate to finding home goods boring at one point in my life when I was younger. Finding curtains and towels were brutal. Now I love it! And I also love Jonathan Adler. The other day I was going through his designs and I am so inspired to recreate something that he has designed. So I am making a list of some of the items he decorated with in rooms I love and hope to find similar ones at flea markets!
Take are and I hope you get all you wish for!

I want one of those water bottles! i never, ever, drink enough water
That Kansas cutting board is awesome...as is the rap name print. Love it! And, by the way, Hammerpress is awesome. You will have to check it out on a first friday!
