We discovered this Portland-based artist while living there for a month, while drinking a coffee in Stumptown Coffee where she was showing her work. We fell in love with some of her pieces. Help us commission a piece to accent our walls!

A chance to get away from the dark dreary January/February of San Francisco and catch some sun!

We'll get to Japan in style, but hopefully not in the plane that is actually shown in this image :)

A relaxing stay to eat, spa, sleep and repeat...

Pris already cooks an awesome shio koji chicken that some of you may have already enjoyed, but there's always more to learn. Hopefully many of you will be able to benefit from these newfound skills at some point in the future!

Simply the best way to get around Japan.

Ben LOVES steak. This will ruin him forever.

Pris would love to be able to work an appetite up before diving into a well-deserved bowl of ramen.

A few wonderful exhibits we've always wanted to check out in Japan!

A random ramen nook, an okonomiyaki downed on the street, or maybe a fresh taikyaki?

A few weeks after the wedding, we'd love to go on a mini-moon to the pet-friendly Monte Verde Inn in Carmel which will allow us to de-stress locally after the wedding.

These quick-drying towels are perfect for clean freak Ben who would take multiple showers a day.

Historically, Ben has gotten upset with Pris for not putting the step stool away after raiding the snack cabinet that is up high. Hopefully, with this step stool, it'll be aesthetic enough to leave out and no one will get upset. Maybe?

The last time Ben and Pris bought a blender, it was in 2010, and they had just met. Using up the gift card was one of the first little domestic errands they ran together. It's probably high time for an upgrade. This thing will probably outlive us all.

A nice upgrade from our IKEA Dinera plates

These will honestly be used to eat ramen or noodles, never cereal.

A nice home for the flowers Pris gets from the farmer's market every weekend

We probably can't go to Japan right away, so this box will get us hyped up until Pris has time after the wedding to plan the epic honeymoon

We love these boxes to help us explore new types of spirits and cocktail techniques. It's a fun staying-in activity for the two of us.

We are going to spend HOURS playing this together at the same time after the wedding, and discussing it along the way.

We had a backpack before (K9 Sportsak), but Duplo became too chonk for it.

A night where we get to sample whatever the chef deems we should try!

While we're lucky to have friends who can watch Duplo while we're away it would be nice to have him also stay with his former walker who loves him

We discovered this grill while on a camping trip in Mount Shasha, from a friend-of-a-friend who brought it along. This little wonder made the most delicious meals. We'd love to have it on future camp trips.
