If you can’t tear yourself away from the creamed-turkey-on-toast leftovers (and the tryptophan has you a little sleepy-headed), but you still want to get in on the Black Friday shopping festivities, here’s an idea: buy paper!
Here are some suggestions from the elfettes at PaperSpecs, but be sure to send us your favorite places to shop for gifts made of paper too. We’ll include them each week until December 16.
The Gmund Boutique
Gmund offers a selection of Christmas cards and envelopes made from classy and elegant papers. Whether it’s brilliant gold or trendy ruby, each card seems unique. And for the book lovers, there are bookmarks made from over 50 different Gmund papers.
Felt and Wire Shop
Mohawk’s new curated collection of paper goods has lots of fun options. What about a limited edition dragonfly print from Delphine? Or maybe a Grant Design Collaborative’s Sun and Moon Mask Set (we think they would make great fans too)? How about some sheets of loop’s eco-luxe wrap featuring a hand-drawn repeating pattern inspired by Italian cobblestone streets?
Illusion 360
You’ll find amazing paper art at Illusion 360. Launched on September 29, 2008, the illusion project highlights artwork that is “unique” (i.e. amazing for its skill, level of creativity and vision). Maybe a pair of custom paper sneakers from David Brownings would fit the bill?
Reich Paper Store
Reich’s SHINE Scrap Pack caught our attention. Wonderful for the scrapbooking fanatics in your life.
Beads for Life
The season would not be complete without jewelry! Made of paper of course. Ugandan women turn colorful recycled paper into beautiful beads.

Who can go past a calendar this time year? It’s practical, long lasting and beautiful!
