Fabulous and Fun Gift Ideas!
Holiday gift giving can stump even the most confident design enthusiast, as it’s one thing to know your own taste, yet another to discern what unexpected gift could put a huge smile on the face of the recipient. The traditional way of choosing a gift is to zero in on someone’s hobbies, but that often leads to predictable presents: more golf shirts, more electronics or piles of bestsellers! How about this year you consider someone’s overall design style, and forego the “safe” route that places too much emphasis on the end product. Take a leap of faith and try to tap into your hostess, friend, or family member’s design aesthetic, and see what clever gifts present themselves. Here are some of Blinkdecor’s favorites that reflect our five design styles. Happy Giving and Happy Holidays! MODERN CHIC: “stylish blend of contemporary design and architecturally driven form” Custom Lucite Trays from Iomoi.com ANTIQUE GLAM: “evokes luxurious surroundings with a Hollywood Regency vibe” Chic Cognac Glasses from BODIEandFOU.com BEACHY CLEAN: “decor that is fresh, crisp and bright, colors reflecting the calm of sand and sea” Jungle Fever Pillows by Ankasa.com TRADITIONAL WITH A TWIST: “incorporates classic design elements presented with an updated look” Retro Phones from Pedlars.co.uk ECO-FRIENDLY: “suggests an awareness in home design and renovating of each individual’s impact on the environment” Driftwood Wreath from Devondriftwooddesigns.co.uk  |

home, james! for Holiday Entertaining
November 15, 2007
With the Holidays, come traditions. Home, james!, with locations in East Hampton and Dallas, presents a carefully curated online shop of tabletop products for the home. Inspired by history, with nods to such eclectic figures as Captain Hook and Madamn Pompadour, the collection features fine china, barware, table linens and other gift items "reworked" to meet today’s entertainment standards. For example, they produce their weekend dishes to be able “to travel from microwave to table to dishwasher” while retaining an old world design style. The collection presents the best of both worlds!
