Tatutina, handpainted gifts!

menuboxWe have to make a confession, we love to get take out! We especially love calling our favorite restaurants to get food to go. It is so easy, and we don’t have to deal with crowds or waiting very long for our favorite foods. The only thing that we didn’t love? Having tons of take out menus with nowhere to keep them.

Well, Tatutina offers a great alternative to this problem with the hand painted menu box! We got one to review, and just love it! It’s well made, and does it’s job like a dream. Now we don’t have to search through our kitchen drawers trying to find a menu. All we have to do is open our box, and they are all inside, neat and tidy!

Tatutina offers a lot of fun, hand painted gifts! From treat holders for your favorite pooch, to recipe boxes and bookends, there is something for everyone on your gift list. And, since they are hand painted, no two will ever be exactly alike! Something we really love.

They are a mother-daughter team based in Massachusetts, who love to design and make fun, functional items. Another great thing to note is that Tatutina items are designed and tested to meet the requirements of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM). All of our products use certified non-toxic, lead free paints. So, not only are you going to get a fun product, but a safe one as well.

We really love our menu box, and now that we have it, we don’t know how we lived without it for so long! If you, or someone you know loves to get take out, then this is one item that should be on the wish list for sure! You can order them online, and they come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Visit the Tatutina website to learn more, and to see all the fun products and designs they offer.

If you want to give a gift that your recipient can use all year long, then our next gift guide item is for you! The Envirosax La Boheme are not just functional, they are stylish too. Inspired by Bohemia and the Art Nouveau movement of bringing art into everyday life, this sophisticated new Envirosax style creates ecofriendly art (find the reduce-reuse-recycle symbol hidden in the design).

Envirosax La Boheme is printed with ecofriendly inks and dyes via a sublimation process which ensures the design will not fade when washed. Each La Boheme bag holds 44 lbs of weight and is made from 100% ripstop polyester. The matching wristlet carrying pouch measures 9″ x 6″ and features snaps to keep 5 rolled up bags inside. Envirosax La Boheme Bags measure 19.5″ x 16.5″ when open and roll up and snap shut to a very compact 4″ x 1.5″ when closed. Handwash recommended to extend the life of the bag.

We think these would make perfect gifts for the stylish, ecofriendly, person in your life. Or, buy some for yourself! Another fun thing that you can do is buy a set and then use them as great gift wrap. We have a set of Envirosax ourselves and love them for reducing the waste that comes into the house after shopping. We take them everywhere, and wouldn’t mind finding a few more under our tree either. Order yours online at Bright and Bold, $37.95 for a set of five bags with the wristlet carrier.
