Ceramics We Love

There is something earthy about using porcelain mugs and ceramic containers versus sterile cold glass and unemotional plastics. So if this Christmas season if you are getting rid of the old or firing up the décor with new fancy stuff, then give this exclusive ceramic collection a good thought, handpicked by me!

Tissue Storage by MollaSpace [ Available @ YD Store for $28 ]

Here is a ceramic alternative to replace those bulky paper tissue boxes that are just an eye sore. A simple, clean style complemented with a wooden lid is sure to brighten up your interior. Simply pull the wooden lid off to refill with tissue paper.

Thabto’s Lex, Seth & Carrie by Steven Smith & James Wosiek [ Available @ YD Store for $50 ]

Lex, Seth & Carrie are kitchen storage canisters with a dark side. They’re designed to hold tea, sugar and coffee. However they also really love to store those sinful treats like biscuits and sweets. Designed with an evil glint in their eyes to tell you what’s inside (T: tea, S: sugar & C: coffee), and their heads have room to fit the handle of a spoon.

Thabto’s Cheeky and Hungover Mood Mugs by Steven Smith, James Wosiek [ Available @ YD Store for $16 each ]

Mood Mugs are beautifully designed hand made; insulated porcelain mugs each having a simple facial expression to reflect the mood. They have double wall insulation, which ensures that the beverage is kept hot but the hands are kept cool. It eliminates the need for a handle and creates more cupboard space.

Mood Mugs; Horribly Hungover, Cheeky Chappie and Severely Stressed to join Happy as Larry, Monstrously Moody & Seriously Sleepy.

Guessing Game # 15

What is this? Hair…maybe, but definitely not on your face! I am in a Christmassy-giving mood already, so this much hint will suffice.

YD regulars, you know the rules…new folks – this is just a fun game where you have to guess what the product is by looking at this preview. Details are inside. No prizes for guessing but just loads of admiration and love!

Thabto Moustache Door Mat is a quality natural coir doormat. It is sure to add a ‘tache’ of character to your doorstep. Real gentlemen (& of course ladies) wipe their feet before entering any decent establishment. What better way to do so than on these wonderful whiskers?

Designer: John Caswell [ Available @ YD Store for $39.00 ]

Looking Good Mirror: Who’s That Handsome Devil?

Some people like to obsessively check themselves in the mirror to make sure they look their best. If this describes you, then have I got something for you.

looking good mirror 1

Thabto’s Looking Good mirror looks like a giant pair of eyeglasses, so you can check out your own beautiful mug while at the same time you adjust your own shades. You are so good looking. The dual mirror design actually has another advantage – you and your significant other can primp and preen yourselves side-by-side.

looking good mirror 2The Looking Good mirror sells for £200 (~$350 USD). While that might seem like a lot to spend on a mirror, it’s actually way less than my last pair of eyeglasses cost. Of course, these might look a little ridiculous if I tried to wear them.
