Laurence King Fall 2018 Gifts The Gift Lab team Clockwise from top left: Commissioning Editors Pistachio, Lü-Bên, Liz, Sarah and John the spy, Production Manager Sian, Art Director Charlotte and in the centre, Editorial Director Marc. Illustration by Claudia Boldt. Dear Gift Lab Guinea Pig, We are pleased to announce that the Gift Lab has now found a formula to resolve the question: Do You Look Like Your Dog?. It comes in the shape of a memory game connecting assertive hounds with their easily manipulated humans. Talking of existential questions, Cat Gurus gathers the wisdom of history’s most influential felines to provide therapeutic, moral, and spiritual support for generations of cat lovers to come. And in case you happen to be more trend- than cat-conscious, Fashion Oracles collects life and style guidance from the world’s most fabulous fashion figures. Gift Science continue apace as two new series explore the world of art. The first series applies the systematically random medium of playing cards to investigate the nature of ‘phenomenal gifts’ with Genius: Art and Genius: Music. The second series uses jigsaw puzzles to piece together the story of art movements such as Impressionism and Surrealism. The equally imprecise measuring device of Go Fish was utilized to re-evaluate the key role played by women in all kinds of fields, from politics and literature to flying and sports. And if that weren’t ambitious enough, we have discovered scientific methods for turning your baby into an art critic or a zoologist. But the year’s greatest achievement was to develop the most astonishing spotting game ever with I Saw It First! Jungle and its iconic pyramid-shaped box. A few words of caution: experimentation on such a scale can produce hazardous results, and we must warn you about Dangerous Experiments for After Dinner, arguably the silliest and most reckless gift we have ever produced. Not to mention The Movie Misquote Game, a diabolical machine designed to re-engineer classic film dialogue and turn dinner parties into slapstick anarchy. Other side effects of our current gift crop may include giggling, blushing, momentary confusion, hysterical cries from toddlers, heated family arguments, mild drowsiness, swearing, poor color-coordination, and cat-like behavior. Outside of those, you should be (almost) safe. Marc Valli 01 Do You Look Like Your Dog?
