Gift Ideas For Design Lovers

When I was asked by the German Pinterest team to join their 'Xmas Market', I was all game - curating a Pinterest board with gift ideas for design lovers was the task. Challenge taken! Pinning cool design products is anyway an activity I love spending my time on. Pinterest is one of my favorite platforms to find inspiration and new products - in fact, I have found many new home accessories for my own home through Pinterest over time!

My Pinterest account has a variety of boards with a focus on interior design, home accessories, decoration, plants, travels. And I usually extend my account with seasonal boards, like gift idea boards for Christmas and other festivities. Especially those gift idea boards serve as a sort of inspirational archive when I have to find presents for my beloved ones (or myself for that matter). And that's exactly what I did for the 'Pinterest Xmas Market': I have curated a fine selection of gift ideas for design lovers!

So if you need some more inspiration and ideas for the upcoming festive season, make sure you have a look on Pinterest. And yes, it is absolutely fine to buy yourself presents, too!

Happy hump day, friends!

Wednesday is hump day is half way to weekend is a day to treat yourself - this is the sort of weird sequence of thoughts I have on hump days. You know, little treats motivate you to tackle the remaining half of the working week and then indulge in a relaxing weekend. Now I admit, some might say, ok, get yourself some chocolates, buy yourself a jumper, a pair of new shoes or a a nice book. But hey, I am who I am and I love to buy things for the home. And this week's recommendations could all go right into my virtual basket. Is there a treat for you too? Today we've got fresh on offer the following goodies:

1. Hand made porcelain vessels by British designer Rhian Malin via Cavaliero Finn
2. Surprise (design) gift box for yourself or a beloved person (perfect in time for 
    Christmas) by Not Another Bill
3. Roxy arm chair with ethnic pattern via Onefortythree
4. Undercover blanket via Starling Store
5. Crescent cup/planter via Nasty Gal
6. Cactus tote bag via Leif Shop

Now hump day looks all better, right? Have a happy one!

It's mid November, can you believe it my friends? I mean in a bit more than a month Christmas will be upon us and here in Munich the festive season has officially kicked off with last Saturday's start of Christmas sales and the preparations for the numerous Christmas markets across town. For some of us I guess the question for festive gifts is inevitable - whether they're for ourselves (I admit, the best ones) or for our beloved ones (after all, offering presents is even better than accepting some). 

These days I've teamed up with the folks over at Triitme, a collaboration of young European design enthusiasts, who offer great design pieces in their online store. I've picked some Scandinavian design pieces so if you like Scandinavian design, rush over to my happy picks HERE to secure your first gifts for the festive season. Happy shopping!
