Pepe and Friends Tableware by Camila Prada

It's considered a faux pas to deviate from gift registries, but we might have to make an exception for our more cutesy friends when we spotted this adorable collection of tablewares by Camila Prada. The Pepe and Friends are a combination of cute, simple Japanese pop illustrations with sturdy German ceramics, perfect to add a little charm to the kitchen. Check out a few of our favorite designs after the jump...

From top left to bottom right: Pablo the Honey Pot, Sugar Daddy the sugar shaker, Momo the butter dish, Bingo the espresso cup & saucer, Gigi the espresso cup & saucer, and Big Daddy the cookie jar.

Pepe and Friends are available online at PepeandFriends.com. It's also currently available at the SFMOMA museum store in San Francisco, although it's not listed in the online shop yet.

Those are cute and it is absolutely *NOT* a faux pas to deviate from a gift registry. But anyway, I'm old-fashioned and cranky and I think that gift registries are tacky.

I'm loving the Gigi cup and saucer. So, so cute.

I have never heard deviating from a registry called a faux pas. A registry is helpful to guests and recipients alike, but it is in no way a binding contract.

Those are totally darling. I know exactly who is getting a set of espresso cups for Christmas!

Faux pas huh? Oh well, I'll continue to ignore them. I think the idea that I must give a specific gift is ridiculous.

SUCH cute tableware! I like the cookie jar.

I don't like these designs at all, and even if I did, I'd probably get tired of them pretty quickly. I think it's best to stick with classics that will endure for wedding presents, whether they're on the registry or not. These are too twee for a wedding present.
