Oh Santa! I almost forgive you for that flu you plagued YZ and I with this Xmas, what with all the juicy gifts you lugged down our chimney along with it. All in all, the 25th was a veritable indulge-fest, with everything on my list neatly wrapped in recycled paper under the tree... http://www.los-list.com/blog/top-ten-thank-you-santa/feed/ 78 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/#comments Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:48:46 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10350

The holidays are all about home, home-comings, and homeyness so why not give a gift that celebrates the abode? From the tiniest trinkets to the enormously extravagant to the quirky never-knew-I-needed-that shwag — the home is like one more child that can't stop asking for something new. Here's our 2010 gifting roundup — all in the spirit of adding a dose of whimsy and color to your home this season. http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-welcome-home-for-the-holidays/feed/ 89 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/#comments Tue, 07 Dec 2010 18:38:04 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10325

For some of us, the holiday season is about one thing and one thing only. Ok, two things. Ok, a bunch of things—all nicely wrapped and book-related. Because there is nothing more satisfying than winter reading, whether it’s the classic you know almost by heart, the novel everybody else already read six months ago, or the thriller you’ll never admit you couldn’t put down. http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-giude-top-ten-bookworm/feed/ 12 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:57:39 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10261

Etsy has to be one of the coolest places for gift giving — simply because most of the offerings on the site are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. But, with this endless trove of offerings, a bushy-eyed shopper can quickly get dissuaded by too much good stuff... http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/feed/ 9 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:46:31 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9997

Hip hip hooray! 'Tis that time of year again: christmas trees, wreaths, family get togethers, snuggling up by the fireplace singing carols, oh, yes... and lots of gift giving! What better way to kick things off than with the wee ones!! http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-treats-for-tots/feed/ 13 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-top-ten-transitioning-tanks/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-top-ten-transitioning-tanks/#comments Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:35:12 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7877

End of August or not - these past few days in Tel Aviv have felt like the doggiest days of summer yet. I know autumn is around the corner but 45ºC? Really? What to do when nothing you own is cool enough but you don't want to blow all your hard earned cash on what should be your fall/winter wardrobe? Um... multitask of course! http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-top-ten-transitioning-tanks/feed/ 13 http://www.los-list.com/blog/top-ten-beach-towels/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/top-ten-beach-towels/#comments Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:09:04 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7682

Ever since we left Brooklyn for our summer stint in Israel, YZ and I have had nothing but internet issues. Slow as snails. Effectively exiled from the web, we’ve had no choice but to hit the beach as many times as possible. Every morning we've been hopping into the VW and zipping to the north and south of Tel Aviv in search of the perfect swimming spot... http://www.los-list.com/blog/top-ten-beach-towels/feed/ 11 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-a-year-of-tees/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-a-year-of-tees/#comments Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:43:14 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7649

This super-ambitious, 365 day-long, A Year of Tees project by designer Keith Walsh has resulted in a 200+ piece collection (That's January 2010 - today) of graphically simple & bold tees... http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-a-year-of-tees/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-society6/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-society6/#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:31:19 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7080

There's nothing we welcome more at Lo's List than a well-curated T-shirt collective. It's the sort of e-commerce round-up that results in hours of happy procrastination here at the office and often ends in big fat impulse buys (which we endorse — good for the soul)... http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-society6/feed/ 15 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/#comments Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:15:56 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6924

It's always a thrill to see a universal object transformed into artful keepsakes by a whole slew of creative folk. Here's a roundup of our 10 favorite designer footballs (with a few from previous years that we couldn't pass up), including a design from Lo's List favorite Genevieve Gaukler (check out our Gauckler T-Shirt Tuesday post), and the obvious overall favorite... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/feed/ 17
