easypeasy Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 If anyone on your list loves unique journals, I can vouch that these are GORGEOUS. They do take a while to come in (they are coming from Italy and, if their info is correct, are hand painted after you place your order). Worth the wait, though. Super soft, beautiful details. The person I gifted one to was over the moon happy and I'm debating ordering one for myself. https://www.etsy.com/listing/990528683/bel-fiore-beautiful-flower-printed The shop has tons of designs: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpressoLLC 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Today's finds are gifts I've purchased for my husband and daughter. My daughter has been living and working in South Korea for the past nine years; she teaches English. For fun, she plays traditional Korean instruments in a samulnori group. One such instrument is a janggu. I've ordered this for her: janggu t-shirt Also this top which has some Korean words. My daughter said of it: "it says the official name of Korea, 'hangeul' (the alphabet name) and love in repeating lines 🙂 I think it looks cool!" top My husband has been studying Korean for a number of years; I bought him a pillow with the same design. I also bought him a blanket with a traditional document in early Korean writing. My daughter said: "the text is from a traditional/old book - one of the early ones written in the hangeul alphabet (so it's not really readable these days as it uses some old letters that don't exist anymore)." If you are looking for a gift that is Korean themed, RedBubble has many choices. Regards, Kareni 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
