Are you ok?

no problem mate

glass trinket boxes are really popular now, too. again, they’re obviously see-through so that depends on personal preference.

you can get personalised ones here (obvs more expensive than the highstreet but potentially an option) http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/jewellery/womens-jewellery/jewellery-storage-trinket-boxes

I have a mild cold that I can’t quite shake, thanks for asking.

Also, where the fuck does one find a plain black leather purse with little-to-no embellishment?

In a break down of communication between my Mum and Auntie my sister ended up getting a 6month subscription to Time magazine rather than timeout. This was 2 years ago and she still has the subscription. So maybe something a bit different might be appreciated?

indie brands (http://hopscotchlondon.com/, http://mattandnat.com/)

That Hopscotch place looks bang on, thanks a lot. Any other places like that you know of? Might resort to just getting a few different bits from those sorts of places innit.

wolf & badger, but their site is down for maintenance
everywhere else that i know of only does luxury/designer stuff, apart from places like etsy, not on the highstreet and maker place - you could try being really specific with etsy searches? asos marketplace might have some good stuff too? never used it.

i’d definitely try tk maxx! http://www.tkmaxx.com/page/search?q=purse#esp_cf=pdxtcolour&esp_filter_pdxtcolour=BLACK

also sites like theoutnet and yoox sometimes do stuff by smaller designers that isn’t covered in logos. because it’s an outlet they tend to normally not be classic designs, though…

Have recently picked up a couple of copies of this off of ebay (Delayed Delayed Gratification!) after a previous DiS thread recommendation. Haven’t given 'em a proper read, but it defo does look good.

I need some help with bf presents.

  1. He wants a razor to clean up his beard edges. He has a trimmer already. He doesn’t want a normal razor but one that he can cut quite close with? Like a cut throat razor but not? I don’t know.

  2. He wants slippers that he calls ‘ninja shoes’. I think they’re like tai chi shoes? But he also wants a pair of winter slippers. He wants two pairs of slippers.

1: get a double edge safety razor, merkur make nice ones. there’s hunners of different ones out there.

2: pass

#57
