I discovered WhippetGrey when I went to check out these seriously cool robot clocks for Bambino Goodies and found an online store full of far too many delights. Focusing on products with a visual edge, it’s ideal for snapping up that special gift or sourcing cool pieces to sprinkle around your home.
I’m sure I need a new desk tidy in the form of this clever sharpener version which is made from oak and stainless steel, £14.50.
I was also excited to see that they sell Alexander Girard’s eclectic wooden dolls (I featured his plyprints a couple of months back – the famed New York designer who was a linchpin of post-war American design) which were inspired by his collection of folk art. They’re part toy, part decoration and are made from plywood and handpainted in Germany. £57
This earthenware egg cup and toast soldier stand made in Cornwall are another clever design with the castellated egg cup and horse for the ‘soldiers’ to sit in. I have this earmarked as a future gift, £16.50.
