Attention! Here’s the winner of the kitschiest item on the site contest! Of course there was no such contest, but if there would be one, I’m sure this item would be amongst the finalists. I’m sorry if it’s a bit too much for some of you, but I’ve been a bit more gooey lately. Maybe it’s already the christmas mood.
This is the part of a very cute table decoration. But the place mat is only really loveable with its matching coaster.
Just one thing: be considerate about who has to eat off this one. Not sure your male guests would love it as much as I do.
We always have an urge to open things that are closed. For example, boxes. Or letters. Or suitcases. But we never find anything really interesting in them. (Although I did once, on the bottom of an old box, but I’d rather not talk about it.)

It is modern, but not too rebellious, so noone in your extended family will notice that you managed to bring a bit of contemporary amongst the boring and too-well-known decorations.
And I promise, I’m not talking about Grandma.
We all know how very unfairly long or short an hour, a week, a month can be. Time is relative – the biggest cliché of all times. But let’s just see how things would change, if we wouldn’t adjust ourselves to time, but adjusted time to ourselves.
Lousie Klinker and Anab Jain were interested in designing for our perception of time and especially trying to alter or comment on that perception. They aim to do this by introducing time into unexpected relationships with objects.
This last one is my favorite. It looks useful in cutting down on work and increase our time for relaxing and sleeping. Oh, if only!

If you need a scotchtape, use this. One day you might even believe it. Alternatively, use it on presents, and make someone smile.
