This holiday season, give a gift that inspires... Here are three ideas of gifts I found on Design within Reach that are just sooooo creative, fun and surely one they will love to create with... I would just love to receive one of these...
Blank Matryoshka Doll Set
Matryoshka, or Russian nesting dolls, originated in the 1890s. Each doll opens in the middle to reveal a slightly smaller one inside it. Traditionally depicting older women, modern sets show everything from kittens to Star Wars characters to Russian political figures. Who or what would you evoke? These DIY dolls are a blank slate. Hand-lathed in Russia from linden wood, they’re pre-sanded and ready for paint or other media. An engaging project for the amateur or professional artist, the possibilities are endless.
Postcard Kit
Craft intricate 3D postcards with this one-of-a-kind Postcard Kit. By threading the hemp lace through the perforated holes, create memorable cards and give as gifts to friends and family.
Super Sunprint Kit
Create photographic-type prints with only sun and water using this Sunprint Kit. To create an image, place a leaf, flower or another object on the special paper and set it in the sun for a few minutes. Then “develop” the image by rinsing it in water. Watch as your image appears as a white “print” on the blue paper. This image is permanent and can be hung on a wall, made into a note card or used however you wish.
