Do you believe in signs, darling? You will after seeing designer William Dohman’s of Oh Dier. I’ve been on the hunt for art to spice up our entryway and the hunt is officially over. The only question now is Shut the Front Door or a simple Hello? Mr & Mrs would make the loveliest of Valentine’s Day gifts or wedding/anniversary gifts and would be so cute in a master bedroom. For the kitchen or dining room, Bananas or Eat? The clever choices are endless. If only there was a sign…

What to give your writer friend when a vintage typewriter or first edition is not in the cards? A cool new T or sweatshirt from Out of Print Clothing. Featuring the world’s great stories through fashion, Out of Print shirts feature iconic and often out of print book covers from The Great Gatsby to Catcher in the Rye. Even better, for each shirt sold, one book is donated to a community in need through Out of Print’s partner Books For Africa. There’s still time to get orders in time for Christmas for many parts of the country and for those out of reach, give a gift certificate so that your gift recipient can choose which book cover and size he or she wants. The perfect gift for anyone who loves a good book, great design or digs a purpose behind his/her present. How to give Fitzgerald through fashion?

We love giving (and receiving) art for Valentine’s Day and anniversary gifts and wedding gifts (well, and any occasion really), so when we spotted these incredibly sweet heart-themed pieces by UK-based Sarah & Bendrix, we nearly melted.

Choose from feathery white or bolder red pieces – or even bookish and blue options. Either way, the little reminder that love is all you need will be a pick-me-up every time you see it.

Where to fall in love?

Right here.

Thinking of something someone loves, whether a movie, book, country or hobby is always a great hopping off point for gift giving. What Breakfast at Tiffany’s fan wouldn’t love items inspired by the movie?

[ Vintage Olivetti Valentine Typewriter -- because, like Fred, er...Paul, you too are a writer and would be inspired by a gorgeous vintage typewriter; Multi-Strand Bow Necklace -- a modern update on the classic multi-strand pearls; Audrey Hepburn Collection (Breakfast at Tiffany's / Roman Holiday / Sabrina) -- the movie, of course, plus a few more romantic classics for your viewing pleasure; Tiffany Earrings -- for obvious reasons; Breakfast at Tiffany's (Essential Penguin) -- the book that started it all; Washburn Banjo, 5 String -- for when you're inspired to strum Moon River; Pink Studio Gypsy Ballet Flats -- because Holly and Audrey made ballet flats chic; Breakfast at Tiffany's Paintings -- the sweetest art to commemorate your BaT love ]

Not only is a themed gift like this great to get, but it’s so much fun to give. For a wedding gift, we once had a blast finding Roman delights for friends who were spending their honeymoon in Rome (think Roman Holiday, books on Rome, Italian wine,  all wrapped in paper with a vintage world map and topped off with a card with a Vespa on the front).

Every couple seems to have a song. If you and your guy have a movie, get inspired by all of the great Living In posts here. Or maybe you share a love of Paris? Or of camping. Maybe he adores a certain book. Hunt down a first edition. Give a writer a fabulous pen and journal, or a coveted vintage typewriter. Maybe photography’s his passion? A vintage or silly, fun camera would be cute. Just showing the one you love (or kinda like a lot) that you know them, will melt his/her heart.

What’s your movie?

We first discovered British designer Donna Wilson via the fabulous San Francisco boutique, Eden and Eden, which carries quirky objects of design by independent designers from the U.K. and beyond. It was there we first fell for the Blah Blah Blah pillow, which reminds us so much of Seinfeld (yadda, yadda, yadda).

So we were thrilled to see the same print available in blanket form, straight from the designer herself.

Why a Blah Blah Blah blanket? For those times your Snuggie just won’t do. And people just won’t leave you alone. Honestly. And you just need to curl up on the couch with a box of chocolates and the remote (or, you know, a good book).

Plus, it’s a way more elegant (and lazier) way of saying Talk to the hand.

We think it makes an excellent Valentine’s Day gift too (yup, a new holiday is already around the corner, blah, blah, blah).

Where to nab yours in pale pink, blue and ebony, or white and ebony (or a cute mini blanket in blue or white and ebony)?

Right here.

Men. We love ‘em. But shopping for them is always such a, well, you know. Not to fret. This year, we’ve stepped into fantasyland, imagining what we would buy for famous fathers and gents like Don Draper, James Bond, Brad Pitt, Anthony Bourdain, Heathcliff Huxtable, Indiana Jones, Tigers Woods and Jimmy Fallon. Sure, some of them aren’t actual Dads, but no matter. This is fantastyland. Enjoy our editor’s 50 Gifts Picks for Dads & Grads below, with gifts from $5 to a smidge more. Not a single tie in sight.

*Note: In no way do these real and fictional gents endorse any of these products; this is simply what we would buy them if we knew them. Le sigh…
