Okay, so this isn’t new. BUT, the stationery company, Bob’s Your Uncle, does have something new going on. The wholesaler (that means they create wonderful things and sell them to retail stores) just announced its new home and gift store, FRONT, which features a selection of local, national and international designs. The store opens May 2008 in historic Fort Point, MA.

Now to the good stuff… if you have never heard of Bob’s Your Uncle then you are in for a treat (especially if you love paper products and anything having to do with being cool).

The company is owned by Michele and Martin Yeeles who are originally from England. Martin is a graphic designer and Michele a former shoe designer. The expression, Bob’s Your Uncle, is a British expression used to mean “everything’s fine.” And this laid back style can be seen throughout all of their designs. Some are downright humorous. You can browse online then purchase at a retailer near you.

I received a gift from a client called the EIGHT DAYS A WEEK PLANNER. The “eighth” day is “someday” so you can capture dreams and imaginings. How perfect! These out-of-the-box products make great gifts for the hard-to-gift in your life.
