by habituallychic
11 . 16 . 13
If you can dream it, iomoi has probably already conceived it. The fun line runs the gamut from stationery and paper products, to home accessories and every type of bag you can imagine. The best part is that they are almost all customizable too. The latest exciting addition is the bespoke tote in which a personalized message can be hidden for the recipient. How chic is that?!
Just in time for the holidays, iomoi is offering one lucky reader a $500 gift certificate to their entire website. That’s enough to get a present for you and someone else! To enter, please leave a comment with the inscription you would write for a friend or loved one. One entry person will be accepted through 11:59pm on Wednesday, November 20th. A winner will be announced before I leave for France.
Bonne chance!
