Go For Broke
Hi everyone, happy Wednesday!
Today’s issue is my last gift guide of the season, and we’re shooting for the moon here— the price ranges from $250 to ??? Some of these are sort of affordable, if you wanted to treat yourself to a fancy splurge, and some of these are way beyond my wildest dreams, but I figured I’d throw them in anyway in case any beneficent millionaires happen to be subscribed?
Even if you aren’t a beneficent millionaire, thank you so much for reading, subscribing, and letting me take up space in your inbox this year! This is my fifth (!!) year of writing WIWO, and it still amazes me how many people choose to receive my little dispatches filled with little things I’ve found while puttering around the internet. Exciting things to come in 2024! See you next year!
Blue Banana
GLASS BANANA - DEVON MADE GLASS ($295)
Available in yellow, but I prefer this unexpected cobalt.
Indie Perfumer Double Bill
ODETTE + ODILE - GUMAMINA ($550)
Every Fragrantica girlie fell to her knees when this Courtney Rafuse x Marissa Zappas collab dropped.
Loopy Lamp
LOOPY LAMP LARGE - RIRA (€550, ~ $592)
Ostensibly cheerful, but sinisterly shaped like a rearing cobra.
Modern Ming Vase
THE MOON FLASK - JOEY YU ($325)
Will be considered a priceless relic of the 21st century in 500 years.
Perfect Black Turtleneck
L/S MOCK NECK 'NOIR' - UNE HEURES ($335)
Hits all of Emma Chamberlain’s black turtleneck criteria.
Dew-Flecked Mirror
DROPLET MIRROR - TETE STUDIOS (PRICE UPON REQUEST)
She’s wearing Glossier Futuredew.
Retrofuturistic Teapot
ANTIQUE ART DECO SILVER PLATED TEAPOT - YUGOVICHEVA ($423)
Unclear if still safe to brew tea in, but an undeniable objet d’art.
Wacky Sun Hat
PAPUA - PARDO HATS ($545)
Arrange over face for a quick nap on the beach.
Deep-Sea Abominations
CHARLES LIVINGSTON BULL ILLUSTRATION - TIHNGS ($750)
A flounder, an anglerfish, and a pelican eel as rendered by a preeminent wildlife illustrator.
Exquisite Sofa
JACQUES ADNET SOFA - 1ST DIBS ($20,000)
I can’t look at this couch too long or I’ll start having ill-advised thoughts (do I really need a retirement fund?)
