Here's a little preview of some of our new products debuting at the 2012 National Stationery Show next week (booth 1740)! I've been working like mad to get everything ready and can't wait to be up in New York for the show as well as seeing new & old faces. It's one of the most stressful yet fun times of year! If you'll be there be sure to stop by and say hello.

lately...

It's been a busy start to the new year (how is it March already??) as we prepared to attend our first New York International Gift Fair (a giant trade show in NY) in January and prep to launch loads of new goodies at the Stationery Show in May.

Even though I've been a bit absent from blogging I've been using instagram (@annariflebond) & twitter to keep up with our happenings. I want to blog more often but be sure to follow us on both of those platforms to get the latest behind the scenes and updates for now!

Huge thank you to you guys for supporting us the past few years. We turned 2 years old in November and it's been a bit of a whirlwind. We've grown so much, learned tons, and put in an unhealthy amount hours to be able to create this company that we love so much. We're extremely excited about new things to come! (there are lots :)

Rifle Paper Co. for Tiny Prints

2011-12-14T04:57:49Z

I'd like to announce.. Rifle Paper Co. for Tiny Prints! We decided to partner with the site to create affordable photo cards, party invites, and announcements. There are lots of photo card sites out there but I've always thought Tiny Prints does a great job of curating designs, having user-friendly site, and quality printing/materials. You can view our starting collection here and we'll be adding more designs for more occasions throughout the year..

2011 holiday gift guides: fail-proof gifts for her

2011-11-30T17:00:29Z

here are my picks for fail-proof gifts for a lady. In my opinion they work for anyone. The type of go-to gifts when you're not sure about someone's taste, exact size, your hard-to-shop-for mother-in-law, etc.. hope you agree! if you have any other suggestions feel free to comment.

1. cashmere slippers, $79 Nathan got me these for Christmas last year and I wear them every day. They're like heaven on your feet. With sizes like S, M or L you can guess pretty easily.

2. L'Occitane shea butter hand cream, $26 A great addition to a main gift & I love the limited edition packaging.

3. Kate Spade pearl necklace, $128 A classic. Even if she already has one, the cute gold bow sets this one apart.

4. Oscar de la Renta robe, $82 Everyone needs a satin robe, no? It makes lounging around on a Saturday afternoon feel chic.

5. Filson tote, $105 A classic & durable tote. Even if it doesn't end up being a daily bag it'd be great for the beach or farmer's market.

6. silk-cashmere scarf, $75 so soft and J.Crew always has great colors to pick from.

7. cashmere cardigan, $168 mm, cashmere. cardigans are so versatile and the sizing can be forgiving.

8. wine club subscription, $pricey I don't think I'd ever sign up for something like this myself but I sure wouldn't mind getting bottles of wine delivered to my door every month! There are lots of great clubs out there to pick from.

9. volcano candle, $28 scents are tricky but every girl I know is obsessed with this candle.

10. Chanel No. 5 After Bath Powder, $65 I think any girl would love to open a gift and see a Chanel logo :) A more subtle scent than a perfume and it'll look pretty sitting on your bathroom shelf.

11. personalized photo day planner, $78.99 I love all of the photo gifts from Pinhole Press. It's such an easy way to make a special gift and their simple designs will work for anyone.
