SMART SUSAN: Summer Color Ways

Dusky sunsets, ocean blues, zingy zinnias: is there anything more beguiling than summer colors? (We think not.)

To celebrate the hues of our hottest month, our July Gift Guide shines summer light on our SMART SUSAN’s dreamiest color ways, thanks to our PLASTIC MARBLE fabrication. Most companies throw out the waste created when the production line changes colors or products, but we don't! We reuse changeover plastic waste by transforming it via hand-tooled molds into these subtly swirled, one-of-a-kind SUSANS. And holy cannoli, do they do summer right.

COLORS THAT SING SUMMER

Midnight and Sky: It’s easy to see why blue is the world’s favorite color. Our light and dark blue SUSANs bring to mind swimming pools, cloudless skies, and days spent alongside the ocean. Not only does blue complement practically every other color, but it represents tranquility and serenity. It’s the cool hue for hot days.

Mustard, Mayo, Russet, Cafe Au Lait: Delicious names for delicious colors! These color ways also make us dream of summer gloaming with fireflies, sandy feet, and malted milkshakes. These yummy shades go with every decor, and they’re perfect gift for that friend who only does neutral accessories. (You know the one.)

Pop Art: Cue the fireworks! Dotted with blue, orange, and pinks, Pop Art is our happiest color way and honestly, just makes us smile. It’s summer in a SUSAN! This one is the perfect party girl and fits right in with streamers, balloons, and, of course, cupcakes with sprinkles.

THE ULTIMATE SUMMER HOSTESS GIFT

Want to know how to clinch a standing invitation to your pal’s beach house? Gift them a SMART SUSAN. Our gal will make your the hostess the mostess, thanks to SUSAN’s good-for-the-planet design, ass-kicking versatility, and entertaining prowess. She can organize the hors d’oeuvres, corral the candles, and manage the mojitos all without breaking a sweat — and durable PLASTIC MARBLE makes clean up a snap. Your friend will be thanking you long after the weather cools.

FLOWER POWER

There’s nothing prettier than summer flowers, which bloom by the bushel in July. (Yay!) Support your local farmers’ market and pick up an armful of dahlias or hydrangea to bring a little summer indoors. SMART SUSAN’s smooth rotation means you can see your floral design in progress and from every angle, and she can display your finished arrangement like a boss. (Personally, we love a flower arrangement against the inky coloring of one of our limited edition PLASTIC FIREWORKS.)

While choosing a favorite material for our SMART SUSAN is like choosing a favorite child, we do love PLASTIC MARBLE for so many reasons: its using-every-last-drop-of-plastic-waste-ness, easy-to-clean-up-ness, and honestly: just because it’s so darn pretty.
