My staff pick for Halloween is the incredibly hypnotic sterling silver Spider Ring by Japanese design team, E.M. An Intricate spider web forms the base of the ring, while a perfectly delicate spider perches overtop the web, protecting a magic gemstone. The most mesmerizing part of all? The spider actually MOVES across the web, oh so magically. Possibly the most perfect witch accessory and spirit animal for Halloween and everyday.

My staff pick is 712 More Things to Draw. Everytime I walk by this awesome book, I think “…must go home and draw tonight - no excuses!..”. Not only are there at least 700 things I have never attempted to render in this book, it’s also the perfect tool to help all budding artists overcome the horrible fear of the blank page.

My staff pic is the giant Totoro plush! On his own the giant Totoro is the best out of the entire family of studio GHIBLI toys that we have. You can’t help but wrap your arms around him!!! But the real importance of Totoro for my Halloween staff pick is to highlight what an inspiration he has been to a number of *amazing* totoro costumes.
TYLER
My staff pick is the Areaware Cubebots, specifically the coloured Microbots. I think I might be obsessed with them. Every time I look at them, someone has changed their position, and often that someone is me. They look like tiny bodybuilder buddies.

The Moominvalley Turns Jungle and Moomin Winter Follies books are the perfect buddies for a rainy morning with a cup of something warm, or a sunny afternoon in the park. Moomin can inspire a heartwarming and adorable mood in you!
