5 original Xmas decorations

Our office is currently very busy with preparing the new collection and we can hardly wait to show you what we we've come up with for the next 6 months. But for now, we just want to drown in the warm and amusing Christmas atmosphere. So let's have a look on cool, surprising design and decoration that was specially developed for the greatest holiday ever!

Greeting cards are a very important part of the end of the year festivities, but it's sometimes hard to find original ones. Akimbo, however, really got the picture:




Now, your Christmas tree is probably already decorated, but in case it hasn't or there's still room for some extra balls, you should definitely consider Seletti's Pantone Xmas Balls:




On Design Milk - one of our favourite blogs - we found these cute round wooden blocks with which you can build 3 snowmen. These Stackable Snowmen from fruitsuper design are made of 12 different parts that you can mix and match:


We're pretty sure you have bought most of your gifts. But you still have to wrap them, don't you? That is why we browsed the web looking for original and cool wrapping paper. It's so cool that people might not wanna unwrap their gift in order not to damage it :)


This Robot Wrapping Paper is excellent for children. Available at Not On The Highstreet
In that same online store you can also find - among other unique wrapping papers -  this adorable Christmas Reindeer Gift Bag:





We have looked and looked for particular Christmas furniture, but were not able to locate any on the web. And then we came to senses, cause Smart Living Objects has a chair that will do just fine as Xmas decoration:


Tadaahh: Santa's Little Helper, aka the Ball Chair Red with Dots.

Voilà, our Xmas hunger has almost been satisfied.

We wish you a very merry Christmas!
See you next week.

Amazing gifts for your Grandparents

In less than 2 weeks we can finally unpack all the wonderful Christmas gifts we have been collecting so far. But we bet a lot of you haven't finished their Christmas shopping and so here we are with our last gift ideas! This week we're going to show you what you can buy for the Grandparents.



1. Grandparents love their children and grandchildren the most and when they can't see them in real life, they always want to be reminded of them by pictures. So if you buy them for example the beautiful Surin Frame and you put in a nice photo beforehand, Granny and Granddaddy will be very pleased!

2 + 3. Smoking is a bad habit, we want to be clear about that. But people who do smoke will definitely like our Extra Large Metal Ashtray and the Extra Large Petrol Lighter because they're original and funny, yet functional. And you can always use the petrol lighter for other things to light than a cigarette. Huge candles for example :)




4. Playing cards with normal cards is fun. Playing cards with the Extra Large Playing Cards Set A4 is hilarious! And very convenient for people who have a bit of difficulties to see clearly. 




5. The Banco Box is a beautiful handmade accessory that is perfect to store many different things in: jewellery, cigars, tea or coins...It doesn't matter, Banco will look after it :)

6.  Made from full cork this Tribe Table looks very good in classic and traditional interiors that have a high 'cosy factor'. Your Grandparents will adore it! And so will you, which will result in more visits. Everybody happy ;)

Looks like we're done here.
We wish you the best Christmas ever and hope all your wishes will come true.

See you next time!
