Often times, the best things come in small packages. And no, we don’t mean diamond earrings (oh wait, that’s good too).

To send the sweetest sentiment in a small but highly impactful way, get thee to the World’s Smallest Postal Service.

Simply fill out and submit your custom letter or card, which will then be transcribed onto tiny stationery (1 x 1.5 inches!). The tiny envelope will even have a mini wax seal with your initial on it and the letter comes with a magnifying glass so your recipient can read your miniment (that’s miniature + sentiment for you math majors).

Or, opt for a Valentine’s Day Cute as a Button package, which comes with a strip of paper reading “You are as cute as…” and then underneath the teeny crumpled paper, a vintage button.

Hostesses with the mostestess, brides and moms-to-be, World’s Smallest wedding, party invitations and birth announcements are also available.

With the holidays officially behind us, it’s time to say thanks. In style, naturally. How we plan on doing so? With these playfully chic personalized cards by iomoi. Featuring your very own monogram, you can choose from pretty graphic patterns, quirky monkeys, doggies, elephants, owls and so much more.

And since the cards are blank, featuring only your monogram of choice, you can write whatever you want on them any time of year, which means never having to run to the store at the last minute for a birthday card – these will make much more of a statement.

And for that, we are thankful.

In a world increasingly filled with cynicism, we find ourselves craving anything sunny and happy. And we just happen to be addicted to the Vitamin D we get from that bright ball of fire in the sky. We are in California, after all.
And, for what seems like forever, we’ve been yearning for a print that says ‘Hello Sunshine’ that we could hang in our entryway to greet our guests and ourselves.
So we were pleased as punch to discover this sweet You Are My Sunshine print by Jess Gonacha.
Then, as if things couldn’t get any better, we found these Hello Sunshine notecards by Kate Spade.
Why not spread a little sunshine yourself?
Dare we say it’s the new black?

We’ve gushed over Henry Road designer Paula Smail’s groovy prints and colorful global style in the past and are so excited to see her latest collection of pillows, bags, aprons, tablecloths, runners, journals and more.
The poppy, colorful graphics put us in the mood to host a sun-drenched summer party with good food and friends. And that just makes us happy. And, really, isn’t that what good design is all about?
We also love that we can get a dose of Henry Road on the go in handbag form, too. The totes are perfect for hopping and shopping around flea markets, rummaging through vintage stores for hidden treasures and traipsing the globe stylishly.
The best part?
Paula’s giving BussBuss readers an exclusive 20% off with code BUSSHR20 at checkout through July 15, 2008.

Ever wonder what designers across the pond are up to? Not the big names you can get in every major city, but the independent designers you’d find on sites like Etsy here in the States?
Wonder no more.
DaWanda, the Etsy of Europe, will let you get your fix.
And even though exchange rates aren’t exactly in our favor these days, you can still score great deals.
For instance, this darling teapot necklace made from polymer clay would make such a sweet birthday or Mother’s Day gift and costs just $6 EUR plus $2 EUR to ship via USPS Priority Mail (if math hurts your head — and we feel your pain, that means you’ll pay about $12 and get your goodies from Sofia, the designer in Bulgaria, in 7-10 days).
It’s like having a jet-setting BFF send you goodies from afar, a style pen-pal of sorts — but better because you get to pick them out yourself.
Way more affordable than booking a ticket to Europe, stroll the virtual market and impress your friends with one-of-a-kind gifts, art and fashion.
Take a trip to DaWanda!
