Graphic Image Discount and Giveaway: Last Few Days!

Just wanted to post a reminder about the Graphic Image promo. Until this Sunday, 11/14, you can take advantage of the 20% discount (code: KNIGHT) they have generously extended to Knight Moves readers. 11/14 is also the deadline for entry into the Wrapped Pen + Daily Journal giveaway, so don't forget to enter!

To enter the giveaway you can do one or both of the following:

1) Buy something from the Graphic Image site using the discount code KNIGHT - and you'll automatically be entered.

The lucky winner of the giveaway will receive this sophisticated croc embossed leather set that includes a brown Wrapped Pen and an orange Daily Journal. The retail value of this giveaway is $122!

I need to use the 20% discount to knock out a few Christmas gifts. I really want to get this monogrammed iPad Case for someone on my list...

I also think this white gold Camera Case would make a great gift...

Good luck on winning the giveaway! Graphic Image will be tracking the entries and the winner will be announced here on Knight Moves on 11/17/2010.

Happy Chic

Have you heard that my beloved Jonathan Adler is selling his wares on HSN now?? The line is called Happy Chic and according to the man himself, "It’s about making design that is unimpeachably chic and beautiful but that has an element of levity and that makes you feel good." I like that attitude and of course I love his bold, funky designs. JA's Happy Chic makes a great addition to HSN's growing collection of esteemed brands like Colin Cowie, Nate Berkus, and Peacock Alley. I've only ordered one thing from HSN (a chevron-patterned Nate Berkus throw), but I was definitely impressed with the product so it won't be my last purchase from there.

The Happy Chic price point is lower than JA's normal goods which makes some of the items in the collection great for gifting (I hate to say it, but Christmas is around the corner). Here are some of the things I liked best...

Striped Bud Vases

These are so freaking fun...I'd love to get a few sets and use one at each place setting at the table.

Book

Design books are among my needless necessities and shockingly, I don't have a single one by my dear Jonathan. Gotta fix that problem!

Ceramic Table Lamp

This is a fabulous, versatile lamp. I love the white-on-white look, but you could also add trim to the shade or infuse some color/print with a different shade all together.

Greek Key Woven Throw

Always a whore for blankets, this one is cute and reversible. You can get it in Navy or Black.

Greek Key Diffusers

Has anyone smelled the fragrance yet? Not really sure what "Ozone Breeze" means, but it sounds fresh. I like my diffusers to smell like clean laundry so I'm hoping for that!

Will you be buying anything from Happy Chic?

Can't get lucite off the brain...

I am seriously craving lucite right now. Besides that console table from CB2...I'd really like to welcome the following items into my home:

Dabney Lee Recipe Box - After recently spilling enchilada sauce on my laptop while cooking, I've decided to avoid bringing electronics into the kitchen and work off of an old school recipe card. These would definitely make for cute kitchen jewelry too. With so many adorable pattern, color, and monogram options, I'm breaking out into a nervous sweat trying to pick one overall style. What a great gift this set would make!

Dabney Lee Lucite Trays - I'd like one of these for my desk and another in the larger size to serve in a variety of capacities (booze, magazine organization, etc.). Cute and practical, these would also be fun presents to give and receive.
