The Paris City Journal ($16.95) is a beautiful traveling journal to write about your traveling experiences. It includes a map in the back to help you navigate the public transportation system the "city of love and lights" with ease. The large journals are equipped with an interior pocket for loose papers (i.e.: metro cards, notes and receipts) and an elastic fastener to protect sheets on your travels. This is a great journal to have even if you don't travel and/or not the type to write in a diary. Personally, I opted for this item just for looks since it was too beautiful to pass up!


Banksy is a famously unknown British graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humor with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

The Banksy Note Card Set features 5 eccentric designs, which makes it a cool and fun set to have. 20 envelopes and 20 note cards are included in this set. A must have for any Banksy fan!

Car design showed a fervent embrace of the future and a willingness to experiment with something new. Featuring icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Gina Lollobrigida, Pablo Picasso, and Brigitte Bardot — and their splendid automobiles
