Christmas presents, some idea

Last minute Christmas gifts

Christmas gifts last minute or so. It is now a habit to think of the gifts for Christmas at the last minute, a little for lack of time, a little out of laziness, because mostly we look for the most appropriate one, not to make mistake. This fear is now more than ever linked to the current economic crisis, which encourages us to spend very carefully and wisely our money, more so in the case of gifts.

So, given that there is the perfect gift, I suggest some ideas that will help you choose the right one to put under the tree, either physically or virtually. And who knows if there won't be some suggestion for a gift that you would like to receive personally ... then keep an eye on our website in this period!

Christmas limited edition

The person you are thinking about is a wine lover? So, please contact Riedel Crystal, a company known worldwide as the number one brand in the production of glasses in harmony with the wine (quoting), beginning with his innovative stem glass, or the Burgundy Grand Cru from 1958 specifically according to the type of grape or the collection of 1973 Sommeliers mouth blown.

His latest masterpiece lead crystal blown called Amadeo Double Magnum, evolution of the famous Amadeo decanter shaped lyre launched in 2006. Compared to the latter is much wider, so you can settle up to 3 liters wine.

Even Amadeo Double Magnum is inspired by the famous Austrian composer who was born in 1756, the same year in which the family Riedel opened his first glass factory in Bohemia. It is a decanter 66 cm high and produced in limited edition, 100 pieces per year, since each decanter is born through a very complex process of processing, without the use of molds.

The large size of this article require the work of three glass masters at the same time and the only way you can get this form so elegant and so unique: no two pieces will be equal to another, while maintaining the same functionality and stylistic characteristic.

The larger opening is used to decant the wine from the bottle to decanter while the smallest is used to pour it into the glass. The large surface area of contact of wine with air, thanks to the enlarged shape of the base, allows a greater amount of liquid to open and oxygenate. The interior decoration of the silhouette is made with 3 strips from the traditional colors of the brand, or imperial red for the center stripe and black for the two sides.

Christmas shopping for the table and for the whole house

It is a new look the one proposed by Schiavon with the collection Decor Plated Fluo, with iridescent colors. These are bowls, chalice for champagne, glasses and centerpieces silver metal covered with iridescent lacquers in shades of purple, green and yellow.


This type of decoration captures light and thanks to it assumes different shades from time to time but always fascinating, for a very strong visual and imaginative impact. Not only at Christmas.

It is midway between art and craftmanship the style by Pop Corn, the French brand distributed by Moroni Gomma and brought together in a collection of the best production, or a selection of lighting, furniture and objects, which, in addition to being beautiful are also accessible and sustainable.


It is therefore of innovative ideas made with quality materials and craftsmanship techniques: a design midway between the production often inaccessible from Arts and intrusive to the contrary of the great global market (cit.)


Let me point out some of these products, as Tipsy, the glasses in Duralex© by Loris & Livia from the deformed shape that recalls with irony the hazy effects of alcohol on sight; Leaf, big silicone leaf by Santina Bonini & Ernesto Spicciolato, useful as trivet or for the electric iron; Pickle, table lamp by Rescued, which has the form of a jar of pickles in glass with the wire coated in fabric.

Wall clocks as gifts

It is also very attractive the design of wall clocks offered by Lowell Art with Design collection. These are articles designed for both the home and the office, in many different colors, from red to green, blue to orange, purple.

Watches are made of steel and glass, various geometric shapes: the model 05 842 has the shape of an irregular polygon with a game of full and empty triangles, 05755 has the shape of a stylized red rose, 05840 is inspired by the world of gears and overlapping shapes or spiral.

For lovers of sober exist versions of round or square with rounded glass case with polished edges.

Tech gifts for Christmas

If the gift to buy is meant for someone who loves technology, an interesting idea would be to give an innovative integrated sound system, as Aerosphere, the technological jewel by Geneva Lab, the Swiss brand leader in hi-fi technologies.

Aerosphere is a wireless multizone sound system of last generation that allows you to listen to music throughout the house without the need to run wires, but without sacrificing sound quality, elegance and design, typical of the brand.

One of the most interesting features of Aerosphere is its ability to be reinvented every time: with the addition of different sources you can listen to the same music in every room or different songs in every room.

You can control the various functions directly from your iPhone, Android or from a conventional remote control. It is available in sizes Large and Small, in three different colors (white, red and black) and completed, on request, with a base in polished aluminum.

Still remaining in the field of technology, we mark also the novelty Rotaliana presented at HOMI recently. It is MultiPot+, evolution of the product-icon designed by Donegani & Lauda, or the multifunction lamp to which were added other features.



MultiPot+ is dedicated to those who love both the design and the high-tech and, above all, love to stay connected. It is shaped like a vase container under the lid of which are hidden 3 sockets standard and 4 USB ports for charging iPad, iPhone, Samsung Tab and all other electronic devices.

At the same time MultiPot+ is a LED lamp 64 colors plus white, with the touch-sensitive control of all functions, creating light always new effect having as a sweet chromotherapy.

Good choice!
