Peeps, October is NEXT week! What?! I know. September flew by lickety split, and now we really need to start narrowing down our Halloween costume options ;) But before we get stressed about which Katy Perry costume to be, let’s take a moment for a few more silly, creative and OMG moments. Happy Friday!
The Craziest Thing We Can Do
Love this hand lettered illustration by Sean Tulgetske. Serious hat tip to Swiss Miss for introducing us to a brand new lettering crush.
2. Drake’s Emoji Tattoo: Yep, you read that right. Canadian rapper and songbird Drake takes emojis very seriously. But one pressing question remains: is it a high-five or a prayer?!
3. Recipe Card Set ($14): Go old school with this letterpressed set of recipe cards by local SF makers, The Weekend Press.
4. Lisa Frank X Urban Outfitters: It’s been a while since we hung out with our best-but-she-doesn’t-know-us bestie. This time, we’re ogling at a trio of costumes that are begging to make an appearance at the Brit + Co Halloween party.
5. The Dorito Pin: Um, what? Yep.
6. Ouija Board Mini Pouch ($44): Want the ouija without the creepy? ;)
Little Llama Costume
We always look forward to this time of year because we get to flex our own costume-making skills, but we especially love checking out creative ideas from the folks in our community. Today’s Hallo-crush? This little llama by Oh Happy Day. So good.
8. Sumo Egg Cups ($16): Why we’ve never thought of this before is beyond us, and now we must make eggs.
9. Pixel Customizable Waffle Iron: While we’re on the topic of breakfast, one of Quirky’s latest inventions comes in the form of a waffle iron you can customize. #PixelMorin definitely approves.
10. Get Your MAKE On Itching to learn a new DIY skill? Or just want to make something from scratch? For one more day, all of our e-classes and kits are 25% off. You can learn to sew, make your own cheese, turn photos into t-shirts and more — get on it!
