kikki.K

Last year when I came across the Kikki.K store, I quickly bookmarked it under my “shop finds” folder, lest I forget. Fast-forward to early this month after a dental appointment, I was out window shopping in one of the newest malls in town, Ion. Can you imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when I saw a kikki.K shop in front of me as I emerged from the subway station!? Though I wasn’t sure about the number of “k”s in its name but I was pretty certain this was it. Perhaps it’s the distinctive Scandic flair that made it easier to recognise. kikki.K’s founder, Kristina “Kikki” Karlsson was born in Sweden and resides in Australia. The shop in Singapore is its first outside Australia and New Zealand.

Anyhow it’s great to see a fabulous selection of zakkalicious wares in person. Care to take a peek into the Christmas gift guide booklet?

What if I tell you that as I’m typing this, I suddenly had a flashback that in a 2007 back-to-school swap, I was given a kikki.K pen and pencil?

Hang-bag, the bag butler

Not only is it elegant, the Hang-Bag from Switzerland is exceptionally functional (very similar in function to the Queuger), clinging not only onto tabletop but other spots like on a chair or luggage, or it can be worn around the wrist as a bracelet.

Made of steel and leather, this handy bag butler will carry up to 5kg. Wouldn’t you love to own one?

Christmas tree – crochet pattern

As I mentioned earlier that I would be showcasing unique Christmas trees every week until Christmas, let me proceed with these lovely trees designed by June Gibank. Her crochet pattern is available for sale. The bigger tree stands at 5.5″/13.97cm while the smaller one is merely 2.75″/7cm.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and readers! Wishing you every joy on this special day.
