SPECIAL XMAS OFFER

Dear, dear, dear. It's almost Christmas! I've had wonderful, wonderful, wonderful year. And I thought to myself... you know what? What comes around must go around. So here it is, a good karma for all offer. The bags are awesome and they should go to awesome houses. So I reduced them $6, so that you can make your xmas gifts fairtrade and organic this year. Namaste. And thanks.

Xmas gift guide


Here's a little selection to which I keep on adding awesomeness every now and then...

Merry Christmas!

Well, well, well, it's Christmas again and I kind of just got into the whole festive thing. I've been a terrible blogger this month, and I plan on being even worse over the holidays. Why? I need to design, write and make a 24 page book on Design for school (must include a CD with all notes taken in class amongst other stipulations, like using 3 languages. It's all rather random).I'm still wondering why.

Have a super fabulous Christmas and I'll hopefully see you around here soon :)

PS: Some fun sites for quieter festive times:

Holiday ideas: hive

Wonderfully addictive. Get one for these holidays and you'll be busy! Get to get your brain cells going, too :)

Holiday ideas: furoshiki

Here's how to wrap your Holiday gifts a la Japonaise, with square cloth: Furoshiki.

The cloth can be reused and washed forever. The possibilities are endless!

Isn't she pretty? (Happy 2009, too)



Happy 2009, my darling everyone!


The last thing I did in 2008 was buying this little beauty from studiostebbylee. As soon as I did, the owner, Stefanie, convo-ed me commenting on how it was almost midnight in Spain. Yes, I was dragged from the Pc screen to swallow grapes (12 of them, Spanish New Year's thing). I thought it was awfully sad, but, guess what, I've changed my mind. I love Etsy, I love this comb, and I love buying from Etsy "colleagues". So happy 2009 to all Etsians!
PS: I quite fancy this little enamel from the same shop.

Art Hypermarket

I've already mentioned Vincon here (best design store in Barcelona), and I've just been there again, and, darling, it's just divine. They had this Christmas special Art supermarket, and I've learnt about Lusesita,














Who do you like best?

Merry Christmas!


I´m back in Spain, tired from a crazy travelling (I do not drive,you see, and getting from Oxford to Stansted took a while), but being pampered and cared for at my parents'.


Happy Holidays everyone!

Gift wrap, part 2




You've been hearing of wrapping paper for a while now. It may be because it's Christmas, or it may be because my inner artist and my inner designer meet peacefully in the world of wrapping paper. Who knows. But here's yet another wraping paper post.




This little parcel contains a secret little present for somebody this Christmas. The wrapping paper is an original, held together with fancy palstic hair bands. I quite like it, so I wanted to share it (although the colors are much more delicate in the real world):


Muji

Muji means "without brand" in Japanese, but you spot a Muji branded object from a mile. They are super clean, super smart, super rational but super cute: they are super Japanese too. And this Christmas, I'd watch out for these:



House gift wrap:




House incense holder:



Cactus container:

'Now with shorter queues'

Harvey Nichols is a really posh and expensive shopping centre in London (next to Harrod's). I have just found out what their ad for the Christmassy recession is:



I think it shows an unexpected and great sense of humor. Kudos to you, posh ones
