    I’d like the Norman Copenhagen Swing Vase, and I’d give Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface

    I’d be estatic to receive the Heath Bud Vase, and I would love to gift someone with the “I Love You” text bowl. All are wonderful…but those would float my boat. Thanks for sharing.

    Here’s another ingenious idea from the good folks at Egg Press. They’ve created a these greeting card sculptures that can be mailed then punched out and kept as a piece of desk art. Brilliant! My fav is the Bird Sculpture.

    Great choices! I think I’d have a hard time choosing between the Objects of Design book and the Heath vase. I’d love to give the Hybrid Home print or, again, the Objects of Design book to some lucky Valentine-o-mine!

    Jen – Oh, I love Egg Press! They have such awesome cards and stationery. Thanks for sharing!

    I’m getting some very heavy hinting that my wife would like to get that diamond ring…

    haha – you better not disappoint, then!

    I would love to give the Loop Candelabra and receive Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface. Thanks for the ideas!

    I’d like the doggie pillow, and I’d give the I love you bowl. I would have to strangle any person who gifted me with Clocky.

    I love it all! Just need to covertly show my S.O. this post and I’ll be all set.

    Last year I gave my husband “my heart” with the help of http://www.iheartguts.com He loved it, but that’s cause we’re weird like that. Check it out so you know what I’m talking about.
