6/17/08 Daily Candy touts our Money Clips
Lucky enough to be added to Daily Candy's New York Father's Day Guide, our new money clips have been a huge success. We've just added a few more designs (check them out the key fobs page) and had to change the name of the Geronimo Clip to Chief Big Tree Clip since it was revealed to us that he was the man who actually sat for the portrait on the old American coin!

In honor of Father's Day on June 15th!, we'll be at Brooklyn Flea the week before with all kinds of specials and our brand new limited edition Key Fobs and some new Bonbon Oiseau Terrariums for Father's Day.

There are so many great finds at this market we'd be there every Sunday if we could. For now, see you June 8th!

Buyers love this tradeshow in Paris when they're looking to discover the next big thing and designers love to show here because of its beautiful intimate atmosphere. Beautiful brands from all over the world. On the rue de Richelieu twice a year during fashion week.

This Williamsburg, Brooklyn shop carries beautiful clothing and accessories with an emphasis on emerging designers and hand-made, eco-friendly/sewatshop free lines. The blog is a great way to catch up on all the goings-ons at this super cool boutique.

We love this shopping blog focusing on indie designers creating authentic handmade items.

www.elaineperlov.com
I love this designer's beautiful minimal Japenese-modern aesthetic. Her collection of well-constructed jewel-hued blouses, skirts and obi-style belts is handmade and the pieces are designed to ''fit'' together or to compliment your jeans or tees.

If you're a bride-to-be or know someone who is, go to this fabulous site for passionate product reviews, funny stories about samples sales, wedding shops, etc. and valuable tips (from the girls who call themselves, ''Miss Butterfly'', ''Miss Bee'' etc.) on everything from cakes, flowers, bridesmaid's gifts and then some for the about to be betrothed.

This company, in addition to designing websites (they designed this one!), they also help large (Intel) and small (Bonbon) companies alike with marketing and high end design. They also offer sage advice about getting your small business noticed. I especially liked the suggestion that I rent a bird suit, flutter around Times Square and hand out business cards.

Bonbon loves this website to keep her travels exciting. When she's in Paris, she adores Chez Prune-check out the review!

Virgin Threads has changed their name but not their dedication to exposing the best work of emerging designers and talent today. Look for bonbons you won't find here!

My family likes to give the gift of animals to entire communities as a gift to each other every year for the holidays. I guess my dad got sick of me trying to give him earrings. Last year the 10 of us Steins got a water buffalo for a family in India and added a little more for the honeybees.

This site for women offers all kinds of life-enhancing tips and goodies, as well as motivating interviews, recorded and written, with different women entrepeneurs and is so great if you're thinking of starting your own business! They even interviewed us! Check out the link above to read the written interview and this one for the live interview with Bonbon!

Full disclosure: Open Road is my brother's company, but even if it wasn't I'd buy their books. I always use their Best of Paris Guides and I LOVE the Eating and Drinking'' guides. I've used them in Spain, Rome and Paris and always love their picks!
