Arty vintage homewares that make cute gifts
These are categorized as stuff for kids at ZIPPERgifts.com but I think they’re cute enough to suffice as gifts for just about anyone.
I love the handmade Literary Bird House which is inspired by recycled vintage books. Also the Little Red Piano is definitely able to inspire both kids and professional musicians to create beautiful music. The classic Snoop & Sniff black and white pull along hound looks good too. Or if you prefer something soft and cuddly, take your pick of the Rockin’ Rooster plush toy or inflatable rubber Bouncy Cow.
I’m quite certain everyone will love these gifts, even just the Flat Art Plates. I know I would kill for them!

Whimsical cat folk art
You can tell from these reproduction prints that Alice in Paris sure loves cats! The cats she illustrates are so fine and full of personalities. As I look at the drawings, I can’t help but be reminded of the philosophical Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But I love the fact that Alice’s cat illustrations are so full of color, making them great art to brighten up a blank wall.
At US$20 each, these prints are a reproduction of Alice’s acrylic paintings and each image measures 6.5 inches X 8 inches on a standard letter sized paper, 8.5″ x 11.5″. The prints are perfect for framing because each image is centered with a white border.
International shipping is available.
