Mr Men & Little Miss Mugs $15.00

Introducing THE gift idea for kids in 2010! Just in from London where it won rave reviews! A range of quality mugs featuring the classic Mr Men and Little Miss characters. Each mug is presented in a gift box. Twelve characters to collect. We know this will be a hit in every household. This will appeal to little kids and big kids everywhere! We dare you to stop at two!

Geneva Model S Sound System $599.00

This is the future of radio. Without question! The "TouchLight" controls are invisible until a hand reaches for the cabinet. Not just eye-catching, it offers extensive control of the iPod menu. When the iPod/iPhone is removed, the motorized PowerDock spins closed and the protruding iPod/iPhone 30-pin connector, a sensitive part, disappear into the cabinet, protecting it from damage and dust. How cool is that?
GenevaLab Sound System Model S also comes with a table stand, allowing the user the choice of elevating the system, so it takes up less space on a nightstand, a counter or a desk. The digital radio and programmable alarm make it the best-sounding, simplest iPod clock radio ever.

Black + Blum High & Dry $99.95

These Anglo/Swiss boys rock! We love their innovative designs. This is a contemporary and highly functional dishrack inspired by architecture. The sculptural shape folds down to a flat compact shape for easy storage. The wave of spikes can be used to hold even your most delicate champagne glasses upright. There is a drainage tray which has an ingenious flip up spout. Cool. Very cool!

BuiltNY Laptop Sling January $89.95

And BuiltNY just go from strength to strength. This Laptop Sling featuring the iconic Alexander Girard patterns lets you transport your laptop in style, and never skimps on protection. Slip the adjustable strap over your shoulder or across your body, and you're ready to hit the road. It's easy to travel with, and the proprietary hourglass design secures your laptop in place. The neoprene Laptop Sling is designed to fit Macs and PCs. This will appeal to a broad range of consumers. We just love the colours on offer!

Alessi Try it Trivet $169.00

This is one of the highlights of the Alessi 2010 new releases campaign. The “Try it Trivet” is formed from 3 toric segments developing over 3/4 of a circle (280°). Each of these elements can be considered a trivet in its own right, from the smallest, which is suitable for an espresso coffee maker for 2 persons, to the biggest, which can support a mid-sized casserole.

Alessi Kiwi Watering Can $89.00

The Alessi Kiwi Watering Can designed by Donato D' Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi. After much trial and error, Donato D' Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi have brought life to an object which is usually confined to a modest level of design. The Kiwi Watering Can features a thermoplastic resin body with a spout of 18/10 polished stainless steel.Very chic and very Alessi!

Rosendahl Arne Jacobsen City Hall Watch $490.00

This brand new collection has been created in accordance with the original strokes of the master craftsman, Arne Jacobsen. Stock is due in April 2010 so please make sure you order early to avoid disppointment! Each wrist watch comes in three sizes and bears the same name as the original wall clock. As with the wall clocks, the dial and the front part of the case are produced as a single piece. The wrist watches also have the same concave shape as the wall clocks. Similarly, the watch movement is located at the rear, and this part not only serves to retain the movement but also partly to retain the strap. The black, waxed calf leather strap is held in place using a system specially developed by Rosendahl for the collection.

Nuance Set of 2 Lightstone Pair $99.00

The designer Marcus Vagnby was inspired by the shape of the typical rocks found on Danish beaches. The rocks are ground into organic round shapes by the constant waves hitting the beach and the equally constant undertow dragging them back towards the sea. He has translated their shapes into an elegant candle holder. The Lightstones are made from high gloss polished stainless steel with a powerful red signalcolor on the inside. So cool, so functional and so Danish! We adore those Danes here at Bristol & Brooks!!

This is just a sample of the wonderful gift ideas that we have to offer this autumn at Bristol & Brooks. Remember that delivery over $200 is free within Australia and watch this space next month when we announce the grand opening of the QVB store!

Many thanks from the Bristol & Brooks Team!
