One thing I really like about shopping at holstee is the note when you want to Checkout your cart that says: “Reduce where possible: if you dont need something don’t buy it :)”
I totally agree but then there are times, like christmas, you might be tempted to buy some needless things just for fun or to make someone happy…
Here are some christmas present ideas my family gave each other
Essen gehn! | something sociable, having dinner with someone and discover new places in your town
Olio Fratelli Sanfilippo | always necessary to have a good olive oil
La Cocotte Staub | we had five under our christmas tree it’s almost a family tradition to have one or two
City Guide | usually I buy these for myself as a voucher for a next trip…
Photobook | it’s just nice to reminisce after a journey
Magazine | an interesting gift that comes six times a year
Beanies | for cold days and comfy moments
Shaving | for all the beards – just don’t shave them too short…
So now, happy gift wrapping and a wonderful time with family and friends!
At DesignSchenken | ZH I met Jana with her brand RoyalBLUSH. Not only the products impressed me but also her ideals behind the label. Each piece is made of vegetable tanned leather or organic salmon, manufactured with local handcraft. Salmon leather is something I’ve never seen before and indeed is a very new and innovative material to use in this industry. As the skins form a by-product of the food industry, the animals are not specifically bred or killed for their skin. The plant based tanning process preserves the skin’s pigmentation and characteristic structure and makes it a very refined and special material for her products.
Janas slogan “Accessories with a conscience” are not just empty words but her real passion and believe.
Design Schenken is a special Christmas market for design lovers. Young Swiss Designlabels present their special Christmas gift ideas and other selected products.
After the great successes in 2009 and 2010 Fidea Design organizes Design Schenken for the third time in Lucerne and for the first time there will be a small Pop-up store Design Schenken Zurich at the Tatjane Showroom.
Come by and enjoy my homemade cookies, mulled wine & apple punch…

A rainy day in NY – a good reason to buy a nice hat at Goorin Bros.
I found this shop at Bleecker Street and when I entered I felt like going back in time. Run as a family business since 1895 I was overwhelmed by all these hats in different styles and shapes.
My “Fletcher” is a model called Gatsby – the name became associated with this hat due to the high popularity of the novel “The Great Gatsby” which plays in NY in the Roaring Twenties. The hat is fabricated from authentic British wool tweed and was indeed my rescuer in the NY Rain.
Stephan put my attention on another nice product manufactured and designed with care and skilled craftmanship: The Shwood Eyewear: “An experiment born from the limb of a Madrone tree, a rusty pair of cabinet hinges, and lenses from a store around the corner.” As the name says, they create with wood and play with its individuality and uniqueness- they keep the wood manipulation a minimum in order to showcase the medium’s natural and unique splendor. How nice to be inspired by nature to innovate and create such a nice thing. I’m looking forward to mine The Canby…
