Circle Back Vol. 19
Ten gifts for the love of printed & paper goods.
Neptune Papers Subscription For the person who coveted Kinfolk, this is the new cool kid magazine for conversations and photos from fascinating people around the globe — “great interiors and great conversations.”
Suggested pairing: Keap Candle in Wood Cabin, because whoever wants a Neptune Papers sub will recognize this scent from every of-the-moment NYC restaurant bathroom.
Camila Gaza Manly Paper Lamps A hand-drawn, hand-folded, and hand-sewn paper lamp for the person trying to up their apartment/home style.
Suggested pairing: Complete the set with another paper lamp handmade in Gifu, Japan.
Alissa Bell This custom stationery is the equivalent of having a set of white and red wine glasses — not at all necessary, but an utterly wonderful luxury. It screams: I have my life together! (Or at least my stationary.) Pro tip: this would double excellently as an engagement or (off-registry) wedding gift.
Suggested pairing: A simple, but perfect, pen.
Sunlight Print Kit A satisfying project that will get even your most screen-addicted friend off their phone.
Suggested pairing: Toss in the supplies too: a flower subscription from a store we are majorly crushing on!
Ellie’s Table Cookbook This part cookbook and part journal is a collection of simple yet filling dishes and beautiful photos that will inspire you to throw the most effortlessly chic dinner party.
Suggested pairing: The cutest sardines.
A giftcard to Dashwood Books in NoHo, devoted entirely to photography books, including rare & out-of-print titles.
Suggested pairing: MCM hands to help hold all your new books.
Quarter Past Noon Collection Three books presented in one gorgeous box celebrating the best of when food and creative minds meet for that person who went abroad in Copenhagen.
Suggested pairing: Noma hot sauce will be as close as many of us get to tasting anything from René Redzepi.
Stickers Small and inexpensive gifts that say a lot.
Suggested pairing: A snowpeak water bottle to stick them all over.
Pomological Fruit Season Calendar A gorgeously printed calendar tracking the in-season fruits in the Gulf South. Southern residency is not required to enjoy the fruits of this calendar––as we did for each month of the 2024 edition.
Suggested pairing: Any wall hook from Julia Elsas.
Benita Tablecloth A Bauhaus inspired block printed tablecloth for all those “effortlessly chic” dinner parties (see #5)
Suggested pairing: These trivets, because if you’re getting them a tablecloth, they know the value of protecting a table’s integrity.
Another one coming next week. We can hardly contain ourselves.
With gratitude — i & s
