Maximalist birthday cake, baguette pillows, a YA series full of puzzles

plus absurdist TV, a funny easy podcast and an otter tape dispenser

I started Design Scouting because I love to look - really look - at the world around us. Whether wandering through galleries, window shopping, or going down various internet rabbit holes, I have a bottomless curiosity for human creativity and ingenuity. This week was all about planning my youngest son's 7th birthday. Winter birthdays can be so hard, so I find I put a little more thought into delighting him because why are we here if not to love each other?
