A subscription is a great gift that will keep on giving like the Colors subscription from Field Notes. If you purchase a subscription now, you’ll receive two sets of the Northerly 3-packs and two kraft-cover 3-packs sent immediately and then quarterly, other limited edition sets will be delivered. Each quarterly set will include two 3-packs so you can use one and share one or save it like the geeky collector I know you are. In total, you (or your very lucky gift recipient) receive 30 memo books for $97 including shipping. Sweet deal. Make sure Santa knows you’ve been good.
Other great subscription ideas for the office supply-inclined is the Rad & Hungry STMT kits which are available as individual sets, quarterly subscriptions or annual subscriptions. Prices start at $16 plus shipping for the single sets.
And of course, we must not forget Lost Crates. Personal subscriptions of office products tailored to your taste (via an online survey quiz) are $38 a month or try one of their gift crates or limited edition crates.

The Super 8 app for iPhone was released by Paramount Pictures as a promotional gimmick for the film but over the year it has developed quite a cult following. The app lets you create video in the stylized look of old Super 8 home movies. It looks quite a bit like the video equivalent of Instagram or Hipstamatic. 99¢
Another vintage video option is 8mm Vintage Camera. $1.99
Either option won’t break the bank. And they’re just in time to capture those holiday moments in a dreamy, grainy, bleached, vintage look.

The Envelope iPad Case is available in four
The Envelope iPad Case is available in four dignified colors including this delectable mustard that reminds me so much of a sunny manila envelope. You might want to add this to your Christmas wishlist just in case you get that new iPad you’ve been dreaming about. $48

Holiday Gift Guide 2011
I’ve thought long and hard trying to come up with a spectacular round-up of gift ideas but today it dawned on me that just about everyday is a gift guide here at The Well-Appointed Desk. I hope you don’t think I’ve sold you short but since we just passed the 1000-post mark last month, there are more than enough goodies in the archives to hopefully satisfy every taste.
So, please search back into the archives and look in categories like:
- Calendars and planners (for the organizer, or maybe to get the disorganized on the right track this year)
- iPad, iPhone and Digital Life (for the technosavvy)
- Camera and photography (for the photographers)
- Pencils, pens, notebooks and desk accessories (for the luddites and paper lovers)
- Mobile Office and bags (for the traveler)
- Wearables (for ironic t-shirts, jewelry and other goodies)
- Decor (for poster, prints, furniture and things to spice up a drab workspace)
- DIY (for cheap, crafty and clever projects to do for your favorite paper junkie)
Happy holidays to everyone and I hope there are fresh pens and pencils, new notebooks and an iTunes gift card in everyone’s stocking!
I’ve been suckered into those clean, classic lines of the Parsons desk yet again thanks to the metal clad finish. For anyone on a budget, the Parsons is the go-to desk for any well-appointed office.
It’s on sale for $349. Also available is the mirrored finish on sale for $419 and in various wood veneer finishes starting at $209. Hurry, sale ends today!
