Luxurious Faberge Egg Glass Ornaments
November 30th, 2006
Here’s day 4 of our holiday ornament week and it is stunning:
4″ (10 cm) tall Fabergé eggs with amazingly detailed applications turn these ornaments into absolute showstoppers. When we first saw them we were so awestruck by the quality and craftsmanship behind these amazing pieces of art and though they are pricey, they are worth every penny. Ornaments of this quality are so hard to find and then with a design reminiscent of the famed Fabegé eggs – we loved it!
They come in a set of 6 and are sent in a special protective packaging that ensures no breakage.
Colors: Pale Gold, Pale Green
Price: $200 / 160€

Day 3 of our holiday ornament week brings us amazing stripes.
Welcome to day two of our Holiday Ornaments week. We said that we’ll have something for everybodies taste, so today we have a little something for the truly romantic.
Here’s something new: We are doing a Theme Week on SDJ. In time for the holidays we wanted to expose you to a fabulous manufacturer we found a couple months back in Europe who impressed us with an amazing selecetion of holiday ornaments of such quality and style, that we thought it would definitely be something we wanted to see on C&M.
You’ve probably never been caught doing it, right? That’s because you simply don’t do it, right? No, not what you are thinking of, we are talking about something much darker: shoplifting. That habit that poor Winona was getting a kick out of…
We know a good contraption when we see one, and this is a really nice idea by Konstantin Slawinski:
OK, we presented Christof Ronge’s work a couple months ago already, but it is such fantastic quality, that we had to bring it to you again. After all, the gift giving season is coming up soon and this is the ultimate cover for your iPod. Christof is a grad from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena who designed snowboards for Burton and skates for K2 in his previous life. Now he puts all his energy behind his line of luxury iPod covers and we are happy to offer you his amazing, gorgeous and simply stunning Video iPod cover.
If you’re a profound lover of fine teas, you’ve probably been feeling a bit neglected lately, what with so few places to delight in the exquisite art. Wouldn’t it be easier to become a coffee aficionado—the type who can get a fix at any ubiquitous coffee joint? In a word, yes. But despite their magnificent seeded muffins, Starbucks will always elicit a groan from the truest tea enthusiast who wants more than a packaged tea bag (the equivalent of instant coffee).
Ok, bear with us for a second: This is not your grandma’s string of beads necklace – this is so high-tec - lo-tech it’s mind-boggling!
If you are looking for a small gift that creates a big and beautiful impression, you’ve found it.
We are suckers for great wallets, and we’ve brought you our fair share of wallets as well over the past month’s and the reason is simple: Women have handbags and shoes to indulge in… What about the guys? We think one wallet is never enough and that it is time to toss that way too stuffed, fat, old, completely disarrayed, scruffed, out of shape wallet of yours that your mom got you when you left for college and invest in something new.
With your intimate knowledge of C&M you will know that we have had the ‘Be Tough’ T-Shirt in our curated section for quite a while know. True, but this is the all new and improved version of Sébastien’s and Ivan’s wonderful idea.
We had this wonderful contraption that is billed as ‘the wallet for people who hate wallets’ a while back as an SDJ and it was so successful that we added it to our curated shopping section. Here is Mr Smith’s brand new X version that packs a bit more punch than the traditional wallet.
The leather and Sterling silver bracelets by the wonderful guys over at Elfcraft were some of our favorite Summer SDJ’s, and it continues to be one of our best selling items – it is simply a stunning accessory for guys. A couple weeks ago on our way back home from Europe we spent a day in their eclectic studio to check out the latest new models they had created and brought back their first edition of their new Monaco bracelet.
So you’re on this conference call that takes forever. Boooooring… You have several options:
We’ve seen it all, though we don’t exactly recall when: It’s high noon, the hero and the bad guy line up, a distant sound of a lonely guitar, a slight breeze, two loud gun shots, the bad guy goes down but so does our hero. Then after a few moments of despair, he opens his eyes, reaches for his shirt pocket and pulls out the flask that just saved him. The flask now has an obvious indentation, but will forever remind our hero of the lucky moment as he disappears into the sunset.
Here’s something that made us giggle for quite a while when Shay sent us the email with the images… But let’s rewind and give you the full picture:
Another gorgeous piece by Allison Riley: 100% reclycled duplex chipboard with foil embossed lettering.
Every once in a while we all encounter somebody who is continuously talking, non-stop, all the time. And it’s painful. At a party, during a meeting, in the tube, the potential occasions are plentiful…
This is the first time that we a exploring a real tech toy, but this is such a goodie that we simply couldn’t resist. This Lipstick Case-sized luxury phone is the ultimate fashion accessory: It is an unlocked tri band GSM phone, that features a built in MP3 player, FM Stereo tuner, Voice Recorder and full color OLED display with very delightful 3-D graphics. All you need to do is take your SIM card and pop it in here and you are ready to go. The micro sized Black Pearl is finished in what can best be described as a gun metal-mercury mirrored surface (reminiscent of a black pearl) that looks simply stunning.
