Remember this one? Vitamin C to go, the Citra way “you sip as thru a straw….no knife needed!” really haha. Got this as a Vancouver souvenir from my love when he was shopping at Neighbour. An innovational piece invented by Charles P. Schiller introduced during the The Worlds Fairs back in the 1930’s. A great tool to have with you for your fresh juice on the road. Available via Kiosk Kiosk. (the orange is squashed, thats why it looks kinda weird haha)
Hygiene is just as important in the kitchen as in your mouth haha especially if you ate a bit too much garlic. I love the new color combo’s by Yumaki making your daily ritual more fun. Since I’m into plants and (urban) gardening the brushes Forest (above) and Fresh immediately got my attention!
I am very fond of the stuff made by L&G Studio! A few months ago they made me super happy with a gift for my love, so he could learn to save some money. And the piggy bank was also something I like to look at haha. So now and then I check their blog out and find a reason for me to need something like this Parimeter Tray. The black one it is!
I thought I lost this awesome bag until I found it in my storage closet. In 2008 I received this hilarious bag from Sixten a Montreal based graphic designer who worked with Nalden at a creative agency. This bag made me smile and most of the people who saw me using this cotton bag instead of plastic grocery bags. Watch me going green haha
A gift tip or a life saver? Well, both I guess. My sister bought the Babycakes NYC book and we tried some vegan recipes out. I totally fell in love with the raspberry scones and couldn’t believe that something without animal ingredients could taste that good. Tasted terrible vegan cupcakes before and am happy to hear and taste that vegan can be good too.
Another gift tip with an awesome, yet simple concept: Stop the water while using me soap from Germany. I always turn off my water as a habit, but think this lovely soap is a nice way to remind you doing it.
I received this present @Nalden HQ and was so happy that my Wine Record book finally had a friend! Another must have for in your analog world made by Not too Arty from Belgium.
Buying gifts is always a difficult adventure for me. Why? I always get distracted with nice items I’d like to have myself. Frozen Fountain in Amsterdam is one of my favorite stores. One of the relevant places to find beautiful and clever designed items in all price ranges.
