10 Things We're Loving Now: Paper voodoo, a camera flask, a spaceman light + more
Plus, paper napkins that are too cute to use
(SPOT.ph) We always get annoyed when we find things that are too cute to use, such as the table napkins we found at H&M Home. Adorable is the general theme this week: spaceman lights, rose-colored eye covers, bicycle bookends, a camera that stores your secret "potion," and more!
Little Spaceman LED Light (P1,495)
You know how it is: you log on after dinner just to check e-mail and the next thing you know, it's 2 a.m. and you're still on Facebook. This cool little astronaut is the perfect companion for those nights spent with nothing but the glow of your computer screen. — Joanna Manalastas, editor-in-chief

Paper Napkins (P99)
These napkins perfectly express how I feel around good food. I'll try not to make too much of a mess though, because these are just too pretty to throw away! — Loren Evangelista, managing editor

Asian-American: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes from The Philippines to Brooklyn (P1,345)
If you think you can nab recipes from the Internet, then you haven't seen this cookbook. Top Chef alum Dale Talde has come out with his first cookbook, and it's not just all recipes (which are more Southeast Asian than Filipino, by the way). The chef also shares tidbits about his life, his flavor combinations, as well as an occasional amusing photograph of him being all ghetto in heavy fur. — Sasha Lim Uy, Eat + Drink section editor

SnapShot Camera Flask (P1,550)
This vintage camera can't take photos, but it can still make your next get-together extra-fun. It's also perfect for those parties where you'd rather be anywhere but there. — Aimee Dacanay, staff writer

Adventure Journal (P1,150)
Normal journals don’t do it for me. I want something more visual and hands-on, and this adventure journal is the perfect pick! I can tick off my endless bucket list and record my travel escapades creatively. It has 300 exciting ideas to inspire anyone to get out there and fall in love with the world, plus eight removable foil maps to record each experience. — Mimi Miaco, staff writer

642 Places to Draw (P831)
Confession: I loved to draw when I was a kid. I learned by copying Betty from Archie comics. But somehow that hobby fell by the wayside as soon as I got to college, and I've been wanting to dust it off ever since. This book is the perfect excuse to do just that! — Joanna Manalastas, editor-in-chief

Sleep Easy Headphones (P799)
Sleeping on a plane or elsewhere while traveling can be stressful and impossible when there's lots of noise. These headphones double as a cover for your eyes, which also keeps you from giving other travelers the evil eye when they're being extra loud.— Loren Evangelista, managing editor

Pug Socks (P245)
My family has a teacup pug and these socks are the closest I can get to taking her everywhere with me. They're so adorable! — Sasha Lim Uy, Eat + Drink section editor
