27 March 2010 is this year’s Earth Hour, where all of us are encouraged to turn off all non-essential lights for an hour from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. As the threat of global warming looms nearer and nearer, people of this planet realize that we need to do something. We can try to do small things every day, and these efforts will add up to a significant amount of contribution to save our planet.
When giving out gifts, we should consider environmentally friendly products. Say, you might be looking for some camping accessories for a camping trip, and you’re interested in getting some navigation essentials for your camping group. A conventional battery torch might be just the thing for a night hiking trip, but why not consider a dynamo torch instead? To light up the torch, you just have to shake the torch. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the torch utilizes mechanical energy to light up the bulb. Since it doesn’t require battery, the torch can actually last a long time! No more worries about whether the battery will last your hike or anything, now you can really go on an adventure without inhibitions!
In fact, there are many other interesting eco friendly gifts to look into. Such as water powered clocks and calculators. Bags with eco friendly material, prints on recycled paper, recycled material items such as pen, pencils, wooden key holder, etc. Stop throwing paper when only one side is printed. Use it as rough paper or print on the other side for internal use. Collect recyclable material such as soft drinks cans, plastic hand soap bottles, reduce less plastic bags and disposables cutlery and plates, etc . There are just too many ways to save our environment. So start now each in a small way for a brighter tomorrow.
Recently Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture L’Homme qui marche I (Walking Man I) became the most expensive work of art ever sold, at 65 million pounds. Fine art collecting has always been seen as an expensive hobby for a lot of us, and Giacometti’s sculpture has further confirmed that. Seriously, some of us have even wondered, what is so special about a few metal wires intertwined together?
If the price of artworks has stopped you from starting a collection yourself, why not take a look at the selection of oil paintings Design ‘n’ Gifts has? Oil paintings are the easiest way to get your hands wet in starting an art collection of your own, and the price is not too exorbitant either.
With the Chinese New Year just round the corner and in the midst of spring-cleaning and re-decorating your house, you might be looking for something that invites good fortune into your abode!
This year being the year of the Tiger, you can have a picture of a Tiger hung in your house, symbolizing regality, strength and power to roar in a year of Good Luck and Roaring success!!
Other relevant paintings can also be used to represent Abundance, Blooming Wealth, Glowing Prosperity, Fortune and Luck… A sure way to brighten your home and bring good fortune!
What is the most precious memory of your life? Will it be the time when you sat down with a bunch of your good friends, drinking good wine and having the toast of your life as you talk about the future with them?
Whenever I think about having a good time with my friends I think about having a special wine to commemorate my times with my best buddies. A simple bottle of Chardonnay or Pinot Blanc is simply not enough for us; we demand only the best things in life.
Then I happen to chance upon the Gold Cuvee, a 22 carat gold flakes sparkling wine.
The first look at the wine brings to mind the luxurious life the ancient Romans had. In their marble palaces and Grecian baths, sipping a goblet of delicious wine while relaxing… This is the kind of life I’m sure we want to live.
And then I look at the Gold Cuvee.
This is what brought to my mind. Rich luxury, a kind of indulgence that now all of us can enjoy. The shower of gold flakes inside the wine simply reminds us of how good life can be.

Happy 2010! After this much needed break, I am sure everyone is fully recharge, recently we are up on a revamp mode, and we kicked off with the gold wine brochure.
I am definitely blogging this because I did the brochure, there are so much I hope to tell everyone out there!
Whenever I overturn the Gold Cuvee I witness a shower of gold flakes and many a times, I have this sudden urge to uncap the gold wine just to get a taste of this exotic drink. Imagine being tempted to the extreme, when I take photo of the gold wine so that I can take a snapshot of a good image for the gold wine.
It is not as simple as just a craving, it is more of a seduction of the devil himself.
I would want to give it a good packaging like a box, or something so the packaging can slowly reveal the nature of the wine. The design was to portray the seduction of the wine. If you see, the font looks like it is gold cursive wordings that teases the mind of the viewer. (As least that was what I had in mind when I was doing the brochure.)
It is a relieve to be able to finish this in a tight time line not only a tight time line but also in an environment where everything is in a rush (due to the festive season), personally it is a feat for me to be able to concentrate and complete it. I am actually hoping to get feed backs, reviews about this wine (and the brochure). It is different, unique I must say, if you put them together even with the best wine. I am sure, Gold Cuvee have stolen the heart of wine lovers just by judging the looks.
Well looks like it’s better to show everyone the images than tell you by words, enjoy our new brochure! I hope every one will have a great year ahead, and enjoy life~
