Over the past month I've come across some pretty cool items I thought were really well designed and affordable (always a nice combination).
1)
MOO + SUPERNANA: I had a box of ATHLETE business cards (and holiday cards) custom-printed by London-based
Moo (which for anyone who is a die-hard Flickr user is probably familiar with) for about $20. To carry these mini cards, I picked up a custom card holder handmade by the ladies of
Supernana -- a Belgium company that normally specializes in baby accessories -- for $7.
2)
REISENTHEL: Someone recently asked me if creative professionals have a special responsibility in promoting a greener society. Which got me thinking. I guess if anyone, who better to play an important role in this initiative than those who spend a lot of time coming up with creative solutions.
So this year, instead of gift wrapping my gifts with paper (which would just end up in the trash bin), I turned to a more environmentally-friendly alternative: reusable nylon bags (which went well with the
six pack of soda each athlete received). They're made by a German company called
Reisenthel, which produces a cool line of nylon accessories, including panchos and anoraks. Available
online for $8.
3)
CLICK CLACK: A few lucky peeps received a special ATHLETE KIT containing a bottle of the Jones Soda, mini poster, t-shirt, and holiday card. In keeping with the green theme, I wanted to use packaging that would be useful and reusable. The solution? A sleek container made by a New Zealand company called Click Clack
for only $8.
