Picture this. You need a gift that says “fun and novel,” “you definitely don’t have this yet,” yet also “this won’t add to your apartment clutter” and you’re completely at a loss. Where else do you turn but to Casey’s rubber stamps. If you’re in a rush, go pick up a squid for your friend, but a real pro will custom order a stamp of Matt Damon or any other face you want to have at hand. That and an ink pad?? Spice up their life!! Plus the place is an experience in and of itself

Use linocut tools to engrave erasers and turn them into stamps. Another gift for my husband back when we were dating, I made like five stamps of things important to him, his initials, the shoes he always wore, a shitty drawing of grimace. Can’t find any photos since it’s been years but it’s fun and relatively low cost once you spend like $15 on the tools and a little stamp pad.

i recently discovered i love gift giving. also discovered i love personalizing gifts even more. i sat in the park and painted this for my friend who is having a house colding party (he’s utilizing the rooftop one last time). this was completely free hand and so fun to make. i have a letter making kit i antiqued and i taped one inside. this truly is how i love, through creativity! i’ve never had anyone make a gift for me but i would love nothing more.

May it be physical media, scary little dolls, cute plushies, rare coins, shoes, etc.
It’s easier for your friends to find you a present or at least something that’s related to your fixations. :) also it’s fun!
Additional rec: if you’re doing the gifting, include something personal, something that you handcraft, something that will take you at least 1-2 hours to make. A pop-up card, cute origamis, a collage, maybe even just a heartfelt letter. Maybe they like frogs? Draw a couple of frogs around the edges on the letter/card. Or some cute stickers that you know they’ll like. Doing so says, “I was thinking of you the whole time I made this. This is for you and you only. You are important to me and I have a lot of time on my hands to curate something for you because I love you!” <3

I’ve been calling it an anchovy summer since probably April and I stand by it. Last week I had anchovies and bread on the beach at the rockaways, this week I added them to a lackluster salad. I could post a photo of my texts about anchovies too but won’t subject you to that

Sometimes you’ve just gotta call it. Not everything has to be an ordeal! Then you feel so independent and anonymous-in-a-good-way as you stroll to the subway and back home
