Serve In Style
Oak Village Cheese Boards, $68 each, from Atomi
We were inspired to put together cheese and charcuterie boards after we saw these. Choose from four types of wood: cherry (spring), magnolia (summer), walnut (fall) and birch (winter). And, guess what? They’re not that hard to clean: use hot water, a soft sponge, and a wee bit of mild dishwashing soap. Work in gentle circular motions to remove all food. Rinse, wipe clean and allow to dry upright.
Vegan leather
Zink Small Boxcar bag, US$495 (S$678), from zinkeveryday.com.
Save animals from the fur and leather trade, and still look chic? We’re in. This Italian handbag is fashioned out of vegan leather – cork that’s sustainably harvested from centuries-old trees in Sardinia.
Gelato on a stick
Popsorbettos, $4.90 each, from Popbar
Keep a few of these gluten- and lactose-free treats made with real fruit – no artificial flavours and preservatives – in your freezer. They’re great to have when kids drop in during the holidays. Provided you can stop yourself from polishing off the lot, of course!

Sunny & Wild
$15, from Mujosh
What we love about this sunglasses case? Besides the colourful illos, the fact that it folds flat when not in use.
In Good Spirits

A solid home for your wines, spirits, tumblers and stemware, this handsome elm wood cabinet was assembled using the Chinese carpentry technique of wood-onwood joinery – no screws and nails.
