Presents for Outdoors Folk

Victorinox army knife
Piccalilli coloured wooly hat
Brooks Saddle in turquoise 

But of course, usually it's the indoors people that want them. The bike saddle alone is enough to make me want to buy a bike, just to be able to use it. I reckon any of these would make some cracking gifts, even if you like them just because of the packaging, design or colours used.

You guys know the score by now right? I'm totally obsessed with design. If you bought me a cool pencil for Christmas I'd be happy, because it means you've put some thought into it. I'm putting much more effort into my gifts this years, so I've started early. How are you guys getting on with your Christmas shopping?

All the products above can be found at the aptly named Present.

A View From A Laptop

Two decent staplers, the closest one is from Marks and Sparks
Christmas present from Hollie, pretty sweet.
One of the most bonkers Christmas presents I received, from my mum. A Manopoly pinball pen.
Over bits and bobs on my desk. These fellas keep me calm.

Seeing that I am working on my laptop every day I don't take a major amount of notice what's in front of me. I'm a collector I'd say, I get it from my Grandad. But nothing specific(though I do have 3 staplers now, so that might be my "things"), just anything that takes my fancy. Out of view is also some lego figures, jewerly box, watches and a mega heavy metal/leather paperweight.

What weird and wonderful things do you collect and what is on your desk? That is the question.
