The April Tse-Tse Vase

Imagined by the creators of Tsé-Tsé, this unique vase has become an iconic design over the years and still looks as amazing as when it was first launched.

Available in three sizes, it is made of 12 or 21 glass tubes fitted into zinc coated metal frame. You can really play along with the vase that can be arranged as various shapes, such as a farandole or a ring.

Just put a flower in each of the 12 or 21 soliflore tubes and we promise this design gift will stand out and become the highlight of the room.

The 100% Organic Winter Apple blend is prepared with green tea and features classic green apple notes enhanced by cinnamon and pink pepper. The box also includes Cocoa Orange Masala Fusion, prepared with Oriental spices including ginger and licorice root, and a splash of dark chocolate.

The Dangerous Book for boys

 

A book that boys are very proud of owning and reading it also encourages them to do things by themselves and become curious, inventive and overall smart cookies. Encased in a red fabric it is like a treasure for children to cherish and may explain why it has become a bestseller in no time.  Mixing different tricks and hands-on projects to make it into a learning by play, boys will learn how to make a periscope, as well as learn all about subjects from the solar system, dinosaurs, to girls, the golden age of piracy, juggling, fishing and so much more… Probably one of the rare books that manages to keep boys away from their technology toys for a while…
Available online at Kinokuniya | 124 AED
