I love the feeling of stillness and the monochrome tranquility of this patterned tray. Perfect for a Valentine’s breakfast in bed.

Squid Brain February 9, 2007

Squid brain ties are suitable for black tie events. For white tie events, I believe an actual squid is required.

Silk-screened by hand and available in poly-blend or charmeuse silk, these ties are at once darkly beautiful, slightly sinister, witty and cunning. Just the thing for a Valentine with something up his sleeve.

30 to 40 bucks from The Cyberoptix TieLab
