Dabney Lee at Home | Fab New York Finds Vol I-

I am always searching for that perfect hostess gift - something personal, but not stuffy. A little preppy {if the shoe fits}, but equal parts hip and mod. I have probably exhausted every possible gift option in Jonathan Adler's collection for this reason, so I was so excited to come across Dabney Lee at Home. Le sigh, fresh ideas!

To be frank, you'd be insane to not get your bootie to Dabney's site right. now. Her chic creations are fully customizable with 18 mod patterns and 21 different monogram nameplate options- all with tres New York names like "the boat house," "greenwich," "tribeca," "wall street," and "socialite," to name a few. I love her personalized calendar and notecards {above} for the friend with the impeccable home office...

Or the above festive monogrammed coasters and placemats for a casual housewarming gift... Or The darling little recipe card box below for the aspiring chef....

And brides take note- Dabney Lee's Soirée wedding invitation collection is equal parts fresh and fabulous. All her hip items can be found online, as well as at Saks, Bloomies and other New York retailers in Manhattan, Westchester and Long Island.

{oh yes. and this cute little guy for moi.}
