Paul & Joe's holiday offering this year is a veritable treasure trove of woodland creatures, a nice departure from the usual overabundance of cats. I love squirrels so I think even if I wasn't a collector I'd be buying this.
The Winter Wonderland set contains a lip balm featuring a sweet little fawn resting among pine branches, a smoky eye shadow with a squirrel about to feast on an acorn and surrounded by snow-like white dots, and an eye shadow duo with another darling squirrel holding a pinecone and sitting under swirling silver snowflakes.
The metallic silver branches against the white packaging are so pretty.
It's funny how I normally hate script fonts, but I find the font on these to be utterly cute – I think it really adds to the charm of the animals and the wintry forest they inhabit.
Here's the lip balm.

Paul & Joe's fall fashion line did not feature any squirrels or deer, but there were a few foresty friends. The sweater on the left shows a family of owls dwelling in a tree, along with a raccoon and fox. The raccoon sweater on the right is positively delightful, although I would have liked to have seen a squirrel instead.

Did you think this set was as adorable as I did? And do you like squirrels? (The correct answer is yes!)
