If you’re fond of puzzles, here’s one that will take a bit more time while you figure out what piece goes where.

“Who’s the best looking brainteaser of them all? 72-piece reflective acrylic mirror is stocking stuffer, conversation maker, mindblower.”

15″ sq.

These are just the thing to bring holiday cheer- perfect for a party gift or for adding some seasonal spirit to your wine drinking.

“Six handblown glasses raise spirits in a half-dozen world languages expressed in graphic red, black, silver.”

Set of six glasses: one of each design. 8 oz.; 4.5″H

I love carafes, and this one is especially pretty. The lid serves as a drinking glass and would be perfect for the bedside table.

The glass hold approximately 8oz. 10-1/2″ tall by 3-3/8″ diameter.

A simple bread bag to make a perfect addition to any modern kitchen or table top. Magnets around the top can keep the bag closed for warm rolls. Available in 4 color options.

This set is so simple and pretty; it would be perfect for a gift.

Porcelain Sake Set includes one flask, 5.5 oz two cups, 1.5 oz each

Finally, a modern solution for a Christmas tree skirt.

“New from FLOR, these fun carpets are just perfect for under your tree. The style is the same as FLOR’s popular Fedora tiles. Total size is 39.4″ square and made from 80% post-consumer recycled polyester with a stain resistant finish. All made in the USA.”

Update: Now on sale.

I’m really kind of in love with this piece by Tord Boontje, and the texture will really soften up a modern space.

“There are six distinct shapes of flower combinations, in three different tonalities, which creates an intriguing composition that’s all about movement, texture and color. A witty approach to a floor covering, Boontje brings the experience of walking through a meadow into an interior space.”

This is probably best played in a commercial application or a large scale home, but the Fall of the Damned pendant lamp is a slightly frightening, if not interesting way to light a space.

“A dramatic, pendant lampshade, shaped into a classic image of guilt and morality. From a distance, The Fall of the Damned appears to be an organic and intricately textured ornament. Upon closer inspection it is revealed as a mass of naked bodies, reminiscent of Dante and Rubens, fused together in agonizing beauty.

The amazingly complex shape of this limited edition lampshade was made possible via the help of Materialise’s MGX technology. Using innovative 3D printing, digitally created designs are ‘printed’ with a laser, adding layer upon layer until an intricately detailed piece is formed.

Limited Edition of 40.”

These are quite affordable, so if you looking to update your dinnerware just in time for the holidays, these would be an excellent choice.

“Take a lesson from the Bauhaus school of design, circa 1920s Berlin. Simplicity and utility in modular white stacking porcelain. The salad plate even doubles as an exact-fit lid for the bowl. Excellent durability, egalitarian price.”

• Stack for storage
• Fired porcelain with a dipped white glaze
• Dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe

At these prices, it’s an easy reason/excuse to tidy up your workspace.

Pen Tray. 11″Wx2.5″Dx1.5″H, $9.95

Memo Holder. 4″Wx4.25″Dx1.5″H, reg. $5.95 $4.95

Paper Tray. 9.75″Wx13″Dx1.5″H, reg. $19.95 $14.95

This pendant lamp measures less than a foot across so it would be perfect for smaller scale settings, such as over a small dining table or kitchen island. And it has a really small price tag too, so you could even buy one for either side of the bed.

“Sleek 3″ brushed steel band, frosted glass diffuser and metal mesh top keep a tight modern beat. White cord with tandem metal cable for extra reinforcement.”

11.75″dia.x3.5″H

Much better than any tissue box…

“When placed on top of a stack of tissues, this mountain-like dispenser creates the impression of plumes of smoke, billowing out from its hollow core. Translates as ‘volcano’ in Japanese.”

2.75″Ø x 1.5″H

I love the silhouette of these.

“The set consists of two speakers and a subwoofer and is the ideal accessory for your Mac (don’t worry, it will also work with your PC), but it also connects to your iPod, or anything that boasts a standard audio line-out jack.”
