A scarf made from words.
Okay, not really. But words are cut into these scarves using laser beams–and the result is beautiful, at least to me. Probably to a lot of other word lovers, too. 
The scarves are made from microfiber suede, and are available in Uppercase or Lowercase letter styles, or Numbers, in off-white and black, for $52 from Little Factory.
I think they’d make a nice gift for a book lover. Though I’d love to know what the scarves actually say, if they say anything. And even better would be if you could custom-order a quote!

Cheryl,
This is THE coolest idea! In December I’m always looking for that gift for a reader that is oh-so unique. I ALWAYS come up short — not this year!
Thanks!

[...] Cheryl Rainfrield’s blog is always filled with interesting information, but today I found something that I just had to share with my readers too!

A real conversation piece and a great gift idea for someone who has everything or anyone who loves words (or numbers for that matter). June 28, 2008 | Filed Under Blog | comment [...]

Hands down, Apples app store wins by a mile. Its a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but Im not sure Id want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
