K is For Black is the Society6 shop of Anna Dorfman. Although she is a blogger by name, working under the alias Door Sixteen, she is also an artist who has created a range of prints for the home. Edgy and artistic, [dark and stylish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kill-them-with-kindness), the pieces sold on Society6 adds a ton of personality to people's spaces, be it in the home or at the office.

From pillows that read 'Just My Type' to a grainy image of ink-dipped fingers and a [phone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allblack-phone-cases) that states 'Look at me. Don't look at me,' K is For Black offers a range of items that would make great gifts for the holiday season. Perhaps even as stocking stuffers.
