Mohzy's petal solar light flower plant gift

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I know this isn't available to buy just yet but it's worth featuring because of its playfulness in design. It's obviously shaped like a flower with a sculptural petal but it isn't just for show, because the solar panel that sits ontop of the flower looking bulb will harvest the suns rays to turn it into your gardens light source at night.

The solar panel recharges the battery by day and automatically comes on at dusk emitting a warm glow around your garden. It's certainly better than plonking one of those grey solar sticks into the garden that stands out like a saw thumb. You can get them in 2 sizes, a petal solar mini light that reaches 10 x 10 x 33 cm and there's the taller twin that reaches 21 x 12.5 x 40cm.

The book rest lamp gift by Lee Sang Gin

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This frosted glass (hand blown) book rest lamp gift by Lee Sang Gin's is pretty cool. I say cool, because it's simplicity in design double acts as it's form and function. It emits a soft light for night time reading, it's a book rest and a page marker, and it also looks like a house when you put the book ontop of it. You clever man you Lee Sang Gin. The lamps come with different adaptors depending on where you're at - there's a USA, UK and EU adaptor.

Margui Mora's note me pillow gift

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

In case your other half hasn't clunked you over the head yet, I'm hear to remind you that Valentines day is looming. I'm sure your bank balance has just started to recover from Christmas so you're looking for something thoughtful that's not going to burn a hole through pocket and scorch your feet.

If you like me, prefer to get your crayons out to say that 'I-lub-u-sooo-much iky-eek-chatter' then scribble it on Margui's pillow and leave it somewhere wher he or she will most likely sit on - and - when he or she says 'where's my card you ungrateful non-loving jerk' you can say 'you're sitting on it.'

The pillows come in 5 upbeat colors and don't worry if you can't spell or your mind goes blak halfway through writing a sentence because you can easily erase what you wrote and start again. Simply run the pillow under cold water and you can write a new lubby-dubby message everyday for that someone special to un-earth from under their bum.

(No Soap Required)

Go ahead...express yourself!! Valentines

Pavel, like others, is turning upcycling into a trendy artform. Take on old Vinyl LP record and remaster it (excuse the pun) into a work of art wall clock. He calls his clocks Re Vinyl's and he cuts them (excuse 2nd pun) into identifiable pieces of art by depicting popular cultural landmark skylines & silhouettes.

Babycricket's baby bear slipper gift

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I just had to show you guys these tiny grizzly bear baby slippers because they're far too cute. Babycricket's toe warmers are made with a super fuzzy mocha colored fabric (inside and out) with dark brown soft faux leather claws stitched into the toes.

Eileen from Babycricket has added in a gentle band of elastic at the ankle to ensure that the shoes stay on your babies feet if they decide to get busy walking and they remain easy to slip on. For colour contrasting design Eileen has used a brown minky for the soles for sizes up to 6 months and non slip durable brown faux-leather for baby's older than 6 months.

The slippers are machine washable with the rest of your laundry and you can tumble dry them on a medium heat. Eileen makes the shoes for 3 to 24 month old babies but they'll make them for bigger feet too so kids and us-so-called adults can get in on the grizzly bear action too.
