I don't quite crave these
Personalized Nesting Dolls ($1200 for five) for myself (that'd be lame), but they'd make a comical gift for a particular party of five that I know. Sweaters are so overrated, right? Illustrator Trisha Krauss will make a custom set of these Russian Matryoska nesting dolls for you and your family, or your friends.
I'm pleased, but not surprised to see these
DIY Nesting Dolls ($12) new at Urban Outfitters, which outfitted my
Trend Alert: Non-Souvenir Matryoshka Dolls widget last week with three other matryoshka décor items. I have a sneaking suspicion that their buyer moonlights on the Russian tourism board...but regardless, the bare surface of these dolls is a blank canvas for anyone with a creative touch.
The sale's on sale at
Urban Outfitters until Sunday, October 28. In other words, UO is offering an additional 15 percent off of their items which are already on sale. They've got lots of fun knick knacks for under ten bucks, patterned bedspreads for 20, and cute, retro-inspired chairs for 100.
