How To See

This book is a gem. It looks like something only a select few might enjoy; but really Nelson’s, ‘there you go’ speaking manner and his insight into the designs that swirl in the world all around us make this a book to hunt out and love.

Mint Hug Salt and Pepper Set

A nice stocking stuffer. Great design and it’s functional. Plus come on; how adorable. You don’t get common kitchen items better than this.

Vitra Chair Poster

Ah lovely Vitra. Framed nicely the perfect addition to any office. Get those offbeat juices flowing. Visit the above link to see a better close-up.

Alberto Clotheshorse

In green gift idea I have this…

What the heck…

Artecnica Midsummer Light

This little offbeat ditty is a play on light, a lamp shade of sorts; double layer paper pendant light in tyvek from designer Tord Boontje. To give you idea, here it is in full view in green and yellow. But I’d get this in the white (next to green). It also comes in a fairly obscene fuchsia.

Frank Lloyd Wright: A Film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick DVD

One of those classic, easy, offbeat gifts. Not so offbeat from the offset but a great use of 160 minutes.

I Heart Guts

What every offbeat kiddo needs under the tree this year.

Guts too scary for your little?

How about this amazing tree puzzle. Not sure how on earth to get it; being that it’s seemingly only on display at the Toy Museum in Nakano but I WANT it.

Alessi Lieto Angel Statuette

I thought for my last idea I’d offer something non typical of me. I’m not into little figurines. Or angel items. Not because I frown on angels, but more because I never see anything truly unique in angels. This little angel is part of the Alessi Figurines Project and I really like it. It’s such a fresh take on the typical angel figurine and I think it would make the perfect gift for a collector.

Happy holiday shopping!
