With Christmas just around the corner, Bristol and Brooks would like to help you with your Christmas gift buying by offering you a few ideas ..........

Stewart/Stand Stainless Steel Wallet $130.00

Just arrived from New York in time for Christmas is the new woven stainless steel wallet from Stewart/Stand. Although durable and resistant to corrosive materials such as salts, acids and seawater, Stewart/Stand wallets feel like silk to touch. This new collection for 2009 now comes with semi-reflective, abrasion resistant performance fabric made in Italy. This fabric is added to the spine of the wallet. These wallets are not designed to stretch, but rather remain 'slim'. A perfect gift for the guy who has everything!

Gense Appetize Combi Set $120.00

The oval and clear shape of the Japanese tea plant leaf has inspired the design of Appetize. In 2006, Gense received the prestigious Swedish award “Formex - Formidable” for the cutlery design. The criteria for the prize are that the products should be innovative, creative and commercial. This set certainly ticks all of those boxes. A wonderful gift idea for the modern executive!

Nuance Mortar + Pestle $175.00

Timeless and elegant design influenced by the ancient Vikings - the pestle is shaped like the cow horn used by the Vikings and manufactured in stainless steel. Its ergonomic shape makes for easy handling whilst the weight distribution makes it rest securely in the beechwood mortar. The weight of the mortar itself makes it very stable and it has a non-slip rubberised base to stop movement and prevent scratches to the worktop. A great gift idea for that person in the kitchen who enjoys style and elegance.

Fred Food Face $19.95

Is this not one of the best gift ideas for kids this Christmas? Food Face is designed for youngsters and also a fun and interactive way for toddlers to become interested in food. The Food Face is mid-size and crafted from hotel-quality, food-safe, high-fire ceramics. It's individually gift boxed with lots of inspirational , not to mention wacky, food art. Without doubt, a hit this year for all children.

Metermorphosen Pre-Historic Rule $39.95

The newest rule from MeterMorphosen captures 5 billions years of history of planet Earth. Children as well as their parents can discover the essential epochs from the beginning until the present time. The names of the essential animals are visible on the second face, which shows a millimetre-scale as well. The Pre-historic Life Folding Rule shows the history of planet Earth in 4 colours on a wooden ruler.

Nuance Photo Clip $49.95

A drop has been the inspiration for the designer Marcus Vagnby when he designed the Photo Clips which have now been relaunched into the Nuance range for 2009.
The Nuance Photo Clip is a smart and elegant solution when it comes to placing a photo, a place card, or a menu card on a plane surface. The Photo Clips are very stable on the table due to their low gravity points, and do not harm the photos they are holding. An innovative and interesting gift idea!

Menu Water Carafe + Glasses $89.00

Designer Jakob Wagner has reinterpreted the typical bottle shape to create this carafe with lid and matching glasses. Both the carafe and the glasses are comfortable to hold thanks to the slightly rounded, rectangular design. The lid opens automatically when you pour from the carafe - while at the same time ensuring that ice cubes, lemon and lime slices remain in the carafe. A perfect gift idea for either the home or the office.

Stelton Bathroom Collection $78.00

This is a new and exciting line for the bathroom - elegant luxury with a feminine touch - designed by Troels Seidenfaden for Stelton. Stainless steel combined with acrylic gives the line an elegant expression. All products have a rubber coating in the bottom to create stability in a wet bathroom environment. The line is, with its non-traditional shape, unique in the field of bathroom fittings. The series includes a soap dispenser, a soap dish, a toothbrush holder, a towel hook and a toilet brush. For the home renovator, a perfect gift this Christmas!

Alessi Chin Toothpick Holder $69.95

/

This is a fun and entertaining range from the design house known as Alessi. The group has now got bigger and numerous new faces have appeared on the scene; “Captain Banana”, the monkey corkscrew with a multicoloured parrot on his head, “Chin Banana”, the toothpick holder with “Chin”-style cap and many other characters going right through to the leader of the pack: kitchen-box boss “Don Banana”!
