Offbeat Holiday Gift Guide: Pop Up Architecture

Jennifer Chait — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 23:00:12 +0000

So, I’m doing gift guides at two of my other blogs and figured Offbeat readers deserve one as well. Each day until it basically gets too late to shop I’ll feature one cool beans holiday gift. Of course since it’s Offbeat the gift won’t be your basic stocking stuffer. No worries though, it’ll mostly be home related — a good what to get the offbeat home owner (or the offbeat home obsessed) sort of deal. I’ll try to feature some kid friendly ideas as well.

This first gift, actually first two; are cool for either adults or the kiddos.

Frank Lloyd Wright in Pop-Up Book by Iain Thomson: Six great Wright homes in a super keen pop up delight style! No, it does not get better than this.

Architecture Pop Up Book by Anton Radevsky: This one is missing the obscure factor that the first book capture but is still a great gift for the building minded — kids especially.

Give, pop-up, read and rejoice.

Offbeat Pumpkin Architecture

So far for Halloween Offbeat Homes has brought you jack-o-lantern homes and an Offbeat haunted house round-up. Still Halloween fails to be complete without actual pumpkin architecture; better known as pumpkin carving. I can’t show just any old boring pumpkins at Offbeat so here are some of the most offbeat carvings I’ve seen this year. Maybe you’ve seen some of them but hopefully not all.

Saturday Night Fever

Pure, yet adorable evil

A fat lunch

Huh?

What Offbeat Homes Halloween is complete without a Jack o’ Frank Lloyd Wright

Nice! Now get out there and carve your own offbeat pumpkin magic.
