Macaroon Trinket Boxes

If your heart skips a beat at the mere sight of a French macaroon, then boy have I found something for you!  Macaroon Trinket Boxes by Two's Company. How darling! What a cute gift for your bridesmaids or any girl who wishes she were born and raised Parisian. I found mine at one of my favourite shops, Teatro Verde. Unfortunately they're not widely available to purchase online, but I've managed to find one small retailer that sells them here. I came close to buying the whole box of macaroons... Having to choose just one of six perfect colours is torture. Blue and green - I'll never forget you!

Veuve Clicquot ROSÉ

I don't know what it tastes like, but I sure do want some!

Seriously, this bottle was a chic tennis pro in another life.

I've never wanted to cradle a fridge before... such a pretty girl.

Adoré Chocolate Tablets

Wow! Feast your eyes on these Adoré Chocolate Tablets. I stumbled across these beauties at TheDieline.com - a website where the package design community can review, critique and stay informed of the latest industry trends. Coba & Associates, a Serbian based design and branding firm, created packaging for Adoré that rivaled the high quality and status of their hand-made chocolates. Each chocolate flavor got its own look and name. Such gorgeous packaging! I vote Adoré the official chocolate supplier of your life!

Kusmi Tea

It's happening again. That feeling in my chest urging me to scream out with delight. Perfect packaging does this to me. It makes me feel funny. I can't help it. It's like The Hulk and his inability to control his outbreaks when he becomes angry.  I have an inability to contain my excitement when I spot something beautiful. It's best you leave me alone when this happens so I can sort out my emotions without exposing you to the aftershocks. Otherwise, you'd have to witness my bulging eyes, clenched fists and unbearable squeals. The Hulk and I should commiserate over a cup of Kusmi Tea.

MOR Soapettes

I've always considered soap bars a thing of the past.  Shower gels are just easier to use.  But each and every time I come across MOR Cosmetics soap bars, or in this case - 'soapettes', I am forced to rethink why I don't use cleansing solids.  Since when am I so discriminating? It's not like soap bars are hard to use?!  For the love of pretty! When they come packaged in heavenly little collector tins like these, why on earth am I not using solids? More to the point - why don't I own this product yet?  Well played MOR. You and your perfect packaging have messed with my head, yet again!

'Tee' for Two

Designer Soon Mo Kang created this very clever tea packaging concept entitled Hanger Tea. The tea bags are shaped like tee shirts and hang on little cardboard hangers from the package's hanger rod. The tea 'shirts' can be hung securely and conveniently on the rim of your tea cup. Unfortunately Hanger Tea is merely a concept, but I have a feeling that it won't be long until it becomes available to purchase. Hanger Tea is a fresh, modern take on tea packaging and will make great gifts for tea lovers everywhere!
