The Japanese Know How To Wrap…

Posted by joannah on Nov 27 2008 | Misc

We’ve been loving this video from Recycle Now over at Rubber Republic. Furoshiki is effectively a piece of cloth used to wrap presents, making an eco-friendly alternative to wrapping paper. And the video shows you how to make them look ace.  So if you’re stuck for gift ideas this Xmas, stock up on books, wine, chocolate and large pieces of pretty cloth!

Wallace and Gromit Are More Fashionable Than You

As we all count the days until the ribbon is cut on Cabot Circus, Harvey Nicols have unveiled an adorable series of print ads featuring the Aardman creations dressed in designer attire from the department store.

Though it won’t convince me to splash out on an Alexander McQueen dress or Christian Louboutin shoes as modelled by Lady Tottington, having the well-loved Bristolian duo Wallace & Gromit front the campaign for the upmarket chain is definitely going to prove popular with consumers and their children.
