Small Gift Wrapping Idea

A week or so ago, reader Megan sent me an email asking me if I had any ideas for interesting ways to wrap a bunch of guitar picks she had purchased for her boyfriend's birthday (rather than, you know, just tossing them in a little box).

Scent Obsession / Clean Day Candle

It is not everyday that you walk into a bathroom and go "OOH! What is that fabulous scent? I would love to stay in here for HOURS."

And yet both times that I've been to Marlow & Sons, I've thought exactly that, and gone hunting for the source. And both times, it was this Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day candle.

It is delicious.

And cheapcheapcheap.

Camping On My Mind

I want to go camping SO. BAD.

I'm pretty sure that it's not a great idea - hard, flat surfaces aren't sitting well with me lately - but I may give it a shot anyway, because I love spending a couple of evenings eating hamburgers in the woods so much that it may be worth a little back pain.

Now, I'm quite specific about the kind of camping I like, and the kinds of stuff I like to bring. For example, I prefer the presence of a relatively nearby bathroom to the totally rural thing, and insist upon the close proximity of a water source that offers rafting and tubing (we like the Delaware Water Gap for these reasons).
