Oiva Toikka Owl Collection

Filed under: Decor, Art

Some things just make me smile to look at them, and this nerdy-looking little owlet is one of them. It's part of a whole collection of owls, and I really think I want more than just one. Each piece is individually mouth-blown and hand-crafted of glass in Finland, with obvious great attention to detail. Would make a great gift for bird lovers and art lovers alike, with each owl catching the essence of its corresponding inspiration amazingly well. This owlet, for example, really does look like a young baby bird! And the others, the Barn Owl and Little Barn Owl, are just as detailed. £60-£153 each.

Hand-Crafted Wine Carafe with Glass Inside

Filed under: Wine

Next time you're in need of a unique gift for somebody that loves wine consider if they have one of these Wine Carafes with a wine glass snuggled inside -- I'm guessing they won't but would love to. Mouth-blown and hand-crafted carefully from a single piece of glass in Romania (how interesting would that be to watch?), obviously no two end up exactly alike. Very simple and classical in design, with no color or patterns to distract from the silhouette. Dishwasher safe (surprisingly), 12"x3.25", $95.
