I like this Restore storage basket made of recycled PET bottles. Too bad it costs £75!

bobble water filter bottles ♥ Bobble

A few weeks ago I wrote about how beautiful Bobble Water Jugs were, but today it’s about how awesome the Bobble customer service is.

Si got a Bobble bottle for his birthday and we thought it was really cool, until the lid started to split for no apparent reason. It seemed so strange that I wrote to them and asked about it and you know what? They replied with a really nice email and sent us a replacement straight away.

Great customer service = customers for life. Thank you Bobble!

GreenZero Chargers

Eco-friendly chargers are nothing new, but I thought these GreenZero charges by Bracketron were particularly cool. Green for the home, black for travel.

They detect when your device is fully charged and in turn shut off the incoming power. Good for the environment, good for you.

Bend

Thought these chairs by LA based company Bend were pretty cool. I especially like the Bunny (above) and Ethel (below).

They remind me of some amazing chairs in Mexico we found, that looked very similar but were made with plastic wire. I have no idea what they’re called and can’t seem to find anything about them online. Does anyone know the one’s I’m talking about?

I’m a Le Cresuet girl myself, but these Bialetti Pasta Pots are pretty awesome too. The colours are great and I especially love the built in strainer.

We’re always on the lookout for the perfect pestle and mortar and I love this one by Eva Solo over on YuppieChef.

Chic and cool but still a little bit too small I think. Sigh.
