If you’re like me, you’re probably still doing your last minute Christmas gift shopping on Christmas Eve, so here are some fun ideas that might inspire you from things I’ve found on our grand tour of the globe this year and featured in our Take-Home series. Here are our christmas gift ideas…
Istanbul – an intricately patterned hand-beaten bowl made from recycled metals from the Grand Bazaar
Kenya – some vibrant beaded jewellery from the Masai Mara
Cape Town – a beaded bull’s head sculpture or African wood carving for your wall
Buenos Aires – authentic tango memorabilia and old vinyl records from San Telmo’s antique market
San Miguel de Allende – a unique piece of Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling kitsch by a Mexican artist
New York – quintessentially New York stationery, notebooks, and books from the Tenement Museum’s gift shop
Bali – beautiful fair trade textiles, baskets, and other handicrafts from Ubud
Venice – traditional velvet slippers worn by gondoliers made from recycled fabrics and materials
Tokyo – a pretty mouse pad made from recycled Kimono fabric
Merry Christmas to all our friends around the world!
