Sometimes What's on the Outside Really Matters
I love the great mix of unusual, organic, interesting accessories on the Jayson Home and Garden site. But after receiving this ceramic urchin box from my sister for Christmas, I’m even more smitten. The piece itself is really beautiful in person, but the gift packaging was the delightful surprise. It was wrapped up in thick gold tissue and tucked into a lovely chocolate brown box, circled with twine and topped with a little pinecone…and there was a bonus herbal travel candle cozied in there as well.
You gotta love it when the packaging is almost as good as the actual gift. My latest favorites on the site are these gorgeous little lotus flower bowls -- perfect for perching on top of a stack of coffee table books.
