We absolutely love the water bobble and for so many reasons. The super smart water bottle filters harmful contaminants from our drinking water and it looks flippin’ awesome to boot. In saving us money on bottled water, it also stops discarded bottles ending up in landfill sites. The plastic that Bobbles are made from is recycled and recyclable. Really? Can it get any better?

We didn’t think it could, until we met Bobble Jug. Unlike your ordinary home water filter jug it doesn’t need a reservoir to hold unfiltered water because the fabulous design filters it straight from the tap. The sleek, organic shape allows it to fit neatly in the fridge door. At dinner time you can remove the filter and use the jug directly on your table. Hey presto! Still saving the planet, your pocket, your health and your street cred, the bobble filter jug is keeping the Bobble dream alive.

Unfortunately it will not be available in the UK until January 2012 and, due to high levels of demand, stock will be limited. As Bobble’s biggest fans we are really proud to able to offer the Bobble Jug, or ‘Joggle‘ as we have affectionately nicknamed it, to our customers. Pre-ordering the Bobble Jug will guarantee delivery from the first Bobble Jug shipment to arrive in from the States, due to hit our shores mid-January.

Elle Decoration featured our wooden garden swing in their August issue. Living Etc featured our Deer Head also in their August issue. We are also looking forward to seeing our light cubes on the Channel 4 television show, Cowboy Builders, in September. If you see us mentioned anywhere else in the press do please let us know.

As for our customers, we have worked hard to get your orders out really quickly and in perfect condition. On the odd occasion that we haven’t lived up to our own expectations we have done our best to put things right, and we are proud of what we have achieved. The best compliment that we could have is a repeat order and of those we have had many.

We decided not to make a nuisance of ourselves by bombarding our customers with marketing emails and we think we made the right decision. If anybody wants to keep up to date with our news or new products we want that to be a conscious decision. To that end we have set up Facebook and Twitter pages.

We have had a great year so far and have lots of ideas for new products in the coming months so be sure to like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to find out what’s coming next.

The 10 vibrant pantone colours lift the simple design of the folding chair and the padded seat means that comfort is not sacrificed in favour of style. We love the versatility of these fun chairs. The Pantone chair is cool enough to work as an office chair or dining chair in a modern home.

Individually these chairs are bright enough to add a splash of colour to a monochrome room or mix and match to create a vibrant colour scheme. We also love reading about the emotional cues give to each colour, it gives each chair a unique personality.

Unlike cotton hammam towels our pure Irish linen towels do not feel wet and cling after use and they dry out really quickly. Able to hold up to 20% of its weight in water without feeling wet, The Linen Towel can also be used as a comfortable wrap, even after you have dried yourself off.

The Linen Towel is made from the finest quality 100% pure Irish linen that is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and hypo-allergenic. Some people prefer a fluffy towel but we have been taken in by the superior powers of linen. As contact lens users it is great to dry our hands off with a lint free towel, safe in the knowledge our hands are not holding on to small pieces of towel fibre.

We have been using these towels for a couple of months and the more we wash them, the softer they become. Easy to take care of, wash up to 60 degrees and hang out to dry. They can be ironed to make them crisp for the bathroom but we quite like the rustic charm of their natural state. We use them as bath towels, beach towels, gym towels and will be throwing them in our suitcases when we head off on our travels as they take up hardly any room.

Spineless Classics take the full text of a classic book and print it on one single sheet. The layout of the text is also shaped to create beautiful works of art out of works of fiction. Where there are shapes in the design the words wrap to the edges rather than being removed or shaded so the whole book is on the print with not one word missing. We think they make a fantastically original addition to any room.

We’re featuring what we think are the best Spineless Classics designs: The Hound of the Baskervilles featuring Sherlock Holmes, their top design, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, both great for literary types, and we think children will love the Gulliver’s Travels and Alice in Wonderland poster prints.

Founder Carl Pappenheim produced a poster of Persuasion by Jane Austen as a Christmas present for his mum. It was such a big hit with family and friends that he decided to set up in business. He says “enjoying a great book need not end when you turn the final page. My dream is to get people invigorated by the idea of books as great works of art and to get those who might not otherwise be exposed to them, excited anew about classic stories.”

Every word on the Spineless Classics poster prints is captured in deep black ink which will not fade. These posters feature the entire text printed in super-fine detail on lush, heavy-weight, satin finish paper using state-of-the-art printing technology. The text is necessarily small but pin-sharp and perfectly legible. The paper is non-reflective so you can hang and light them exactly as you wish.

Designed by the award winning Karim Rashid, described by Time magazine as the “most famous industrial designer in all the Americas”, the Water Bobble is a little bit of design genius. If you haven’t checked it out already, have a look. It’s good for you and good for the environment.

Demand for the lovely, puppydog shaped Waldo childrens’ night light has also been high and we’re now out of stock. Unfortunately it seems like we won’t be able to get anymore until January so we’d like to apologise if you were after one.

Sadly, we’ve also sold out of the quirky big game wooden deer head, which we love to bits. Even worse, it seems like we won’t be able to get our hands on any more! Our supplier seems to have gone AWOL, but we’re doing our best to source some as we really, really don’t like to disappoint.

So, with this first blog entry we’d like to thank all you lovely people who’ve visited our site and purchased our products. We did have plans to take it easy following the launch, take the time to develop the site a bit more and add some more products, but we’ve been rushed off our feet with the demand. Thank you.
