To Gift Peace of Mind

Love this...
Last November, Bryn, was faced with the challenge of choosing a birthday present for her man. Since he’s been hers for a long time, she tried most of the possible gift categories on him before. What would make him truly happy?

She thought of all the little to-do’s, house annoyances, tasks and errands that pile up and nag him every time they come to mind. She decided to make a list of all those things — and do them. Thereby giving him: Peace Of Mind.

Wonderful! See all the images here.

Danish Modern

Dansk's teak-handled stainless steel flatware, introduced in the '50s, anticipated today's fondness for simple lines and natural materials. It's back, as understated as ever. (From O magazine)
