Anthropologie Inspired

I'm sure I don't have to tell you, that the allure of Anthropologie is not just about the clothing. It's the creativity, the artistry, and the attention to detail that saturates every aspect of the store, from display design to catalogs and, of course, clothing design.

Anthro posted a video on their channel that shows the incredible effort that went into creating the 2015 Gift Book.

Here are some pages from the gift catalog, which I am sure you've already seen.

On one hand I feel that it is simply crazy to go through all that trouble just to sell some more stuff, but on the other hand, I can't help but feel inspired by all the creativity and talent that goes into it.

And there's also the store windows and display design. There's  no other brand that I know of, with such magical ambiance in its stores. For me, the Anthropologie store is a destination even if I don't buy anything. Simply, feasting my eyes on the elaborate, one-of-a-kind displays and inhaling the air, fragrant with the scent of candles is enough of a pick-me-up.

So head to your nearest Anthropologie store to chase away those post holidays blues!

Analyzing Anthropologie's Manly Gifts

I'm always at a loss as to what to get my husband for any occasion. In my mind, men seem to be so difficult to shop for. What do men like already? Tools? Gadgets? My husband is not a "fixer-upper" type, and he is not particularly into gadgets. What's left?

Based on Anthropologie's manly gift pickings (in a gift collection, entitled "He's The Man"), it seems that men have only three pleasures in life: alcohol, coffee and steak.

Oh yeah, there's that lone coffee-table book about Arctica for $125. I guess, frozen wastelands are very manly too...

A is for Alcohol, B is for Booze

The Home Brew Beer Kit

But where will he keep the booze stuff? 

Why, they thought of everything!

Bottoms Up Bar Shelf    Tack Storage Wine Rack

What will he drink out of?

Gilded Monogram DOF Glasses      Brass Capped Decanter

The Man in the life of an Anthro Woman is not only a heavy drinker, he also enjoys mixing his lady a cocktail of choice. So give him a gift that will keep on giving!

The Essential NY Times Cocktail Book     Carry-on Cocktail Kit  

  Jack Rudy Bourbon Cherries

Not satisfied yet? 

There is more cocktail gear for your fella at ModCloth:

After putting all the drinking supplies to good use, 

you might as well pull out his real gift!

Cardi Har Har Men's Tee

Ok, let's get back to the Anthro Man,

C is For Coffee

Frosted Glass Coffee Carafe     The Curious Barista's Guide To Coffee

Grounds & Hounds Coffee Blend Set

I have to tell you, the people who come up with these gifts know what men really want! It's a briefcase; it's a grill, it's a ....Portable Briefcase BBQ Grill. I came upon this at Uncommon Goods, and I just wanted to do you all a favor and put it right here for you. Notice the picture has no meat in it. I guess they didn't want to offend the vegetarian customers. You never know with these modern men. They might just long for a porta-grill to grill all those farmers market zucchinis.

Aren't women just so much easier to shop for? They like everything! Especially if it's shiny, expensive, and comes in small packages. No occasion necessary!

Happy Gifting!!!
