Kate Spade Winter Goodies Haul

image

Happy December, everyone!

Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers. I love their particular brand of fun, flirty, colourful, girly designs. When I was at Indigo recently (Canada’s major chain bookstore) and saw a whole collection of Kate Spade goodies, I couldn’t help myself.

image

I was so in love with everything that I wanted to buy one of each thing, but I eventually managed to narrow it down to just four.

image

Perfect for winter, the first thing I bought was this adorable “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” 16 oz. pink and red thermal mug.

image

It’s super convenient for carrying with you because the lid slots shut to prevent you from spilling your drink all over your knit gloves while on the move.

image

I leave mine at the office so I can sip on hot tea while I work at my desk.

image

The quote is very appropriate for me since I’m one of those people who almost always has cold hands. (And I certainly hope my heart is warm!)

If you’re in Canada, you can buy yours in store from Indigo, or from their site here. If you’re in the U.S. you can get yours here. (Hurry, they’ve already disappeared from Nordstrom’s site and Amazon!)

Even though I probably have enough little notebooks and pads, I couldn’t help but get this little gold dotted notepad.

image

Small notepads like this are perfect to throw in your bag or keep by your bed, so you never forget to jot down a good idea.

image

Canadians, get yours here; American friends: get yours here.

image

The third item I had to get my hands on was this set of gold bow push-pins. I mean, come on. Look how cute!

image

When I move into my own apartment next year, I’m going to use these to pin photos onto a big cork ‘inspiration’ board. So much prettier than plain old push pins.

Links here (Canada) and here (U.S.).

The last goodie I chose from the Kate Spade collection was this set of beautiful, pink-and-gold holiday cards.

image

You get a set of 10 cards and 10 corresponding envelopes. They say “Pop, Fizz, Clink!” on the front, and inside…

image

…simply “happy new year”. I like when the message inside cards is simple and not too sentimental. I feel that writing a heartfelt, personalized message is my job.

image

I can’t wait to give these out to my loved ones nearer to the holidays. As an added plus, since they celebrate New Year’s, they’re holiday neutral. So you can give these out to anyone!

Canadian peeps, go here. Yanks, over here. ;)

The whole Kate Spade winter goodies collection is so lovely. I encourage you to check out the entire line! Some of these things would make great holiday party hostess gifts, little pressies to the girly people in your life, or just a treat for yourself.

Happy hunting! x
