Do you like these mini suitcases for children?  Ok, now before you start dreaming about going away to those fabulous Outer Banks rentals, these mini suitcases are actually storage pieces for your child’s bedroom or playroom.  They look so vintage, like those suitcases in the 50s era.   These mini suitcases are made from 100% post consumer fibreboard and are durable with a protective outer shell.  They come in a variety of shades – red, blue, green, orange and pink.  If you would like to get them for your kids, check out LandofNod.com.

Flower BagPack

I love this cool idea.  Instead of using the normal cellophane wraps  or paper for your bouquet of flowers, the Flower BagPack is a great alternative.  It is eco-friendly and looks great.  The Flower BagPack is available in 2 versions – a one-time wrap made from recycled waste paper and cardboard or a reusable wrap made of cellulose and recycled leather scraps.  Lovely. I certainly do not mind receiving a bouquet in this stylish bagpack.

Bring Your Own Lunchbox

Here is a pretty lunchbox which I won’t mind carrying around.  This colorful Plastica Bento Box comes in a variety of colours and is available at Plastica.  My favourite is the Orange/Red/Fuschia/Yellow one.  Great for picnic or bringing your food to work.   It features separate compartments and this helps the food to retain its flavour.  Super stylish, don’t you think so?

Shopping For A Black Bag

barbara

Do you know that I do not have a black handbag?  This is insane eh?  A black handbag is a must-have for every woman.  It is something that should not be left out in a woman’s closet.  Some women even have a few black handbags.  It has been in style for like, forever and will continue to be a favorite to women of all ages.   Yet, I don’t have one.  This is why I have been shopping around for one recently.  Okay, I have also been shopping around for some eye creams to get rid of my dark eye circles but that’s the story for another day 🙂  I like bags that are big because I have too many things to carry with me….lipstick, comb, mobile phone, extra clothing for my daughter, wet wipes, tissues, pen, notepads and many more.  I found some really gorgeous bags at Lulus.com.

No More Wet Umbrellas

barbara

I just came across this nifty little invention that helps to prevent a dripping umbrella.  With this cool design, you don’t have to worry about a wet umbrella creating a mess in your place.  The Wet Umbrella No More is designed by Seung Hee Son.  Take it out when it rains and when you don’t need it, just fold it away.  The umbrella converts into a stylish bag and all the squishy wet stuff stay inside.

Stylish Name Card Holders

A friend of mine is planning to throw a housewarming party at her new house.  I have been to her house recently and it is very tastefully decorated.  She did not acquire the services of an interior decorator.  In fact, she went around the town, hopping from one store to another to check out everything for her house.  I have been looking around for a housewarming gift and saw these stylish name card holders from BellissimoFavors.com.  These place card holders features a tiny replica resin purse base with a gold wire extending from its top leading to a coiled place card holder.  They are just perfect for my friend as she is a bag lover.  Also, she loves to entertain so I am sure she will be having many guests to her home in the future.  These super chic place card holders will certainly make great conversation piece.

They come in multiple colors and detailed styles including apple green, fuchsia, melon with green accent and turquoise.  My friend is a great cook and I am so looking forward to her housewarming party 🙂 In the meantime, I better get some weight loss pills too as I know I will be eating non-stop at the party.

Funky Toolbox For The Baby Room

barbara

Ain’t this little toolbox cute?  It is great to clear some clutter in the baby room.  The caddy holds up to a dozen diapers, creams, ointments, powder and other necessity items.  This Skip*Hop toolbox from TheFunkyMonkeyBaby.com has built-in handle which enables it to be moved from bedroom to bathroom or to any other room at home easily.  It also has 2 side pockets which are removable as well as two drawers that can be acessible from either side. I wonder if they have similar toolbox for adults.  Would be great to have a bright and colourful toolbox to keep all the necessary tools and bearings.
