weekly woot!

This week’s woot goes out to Emily Hingston in Auckland, NZ.

 
It’s a small world ….

One of the wonderful things about the internet is the way it can bring us together across vast distances. As a child, corresponding with friends in NZ was a long “send and wait” process, today (if you’ve got the time difference right!) it’s a simple click on the keyboard to say hello.

Emily is a Kiwi graphic designer who plays with printable gift boxes, buntings, illustrations and such. I’m especially fond of her little gift/favor boxes.

I think it’s the magic of transforming a flat surface into a 3-dimensional object that appeals to me. (Hmmmm … sounds a bit like sewing?!) And there’s nothing like the instant gratification factor of being able to print your purchase immediately on your own printer and play with it, NOW!

Her products are just plain fun.
