Present Ideas

Not particularly for Christmas.



One is to have a custom stamp made at Blade Rubber Stamps. This shop is right next to the British Museum, but you can do the whole process online now. (You can ignore all of the 'make a rubber stamp' application and just send them an image too.). I did this one year and everyone seemed really happy. One friend is still using his 'done!' stamp to mark all his paperwork and says it is very satisfying indeed.

I've just sent off a design for stamping into a notebook to copy the idea behind Muji's ChronoNotebooks, which won an award but they seem to not have bothered bringing into the UK (after emailing them, they said possibly next year).
Have tarted mine up a bit with a kanji. Would be nice to stamp it in different colours, even silver, into a notebook.



Another nice present, would be the customisable Sigg bottles from Cafepress. You can put in text, or just put in images if you like. Some of the previews are hilarious (including a cute but hairy dogs), or of course, next to one's MacBook. If anyone wants a hand doing an image, I'm happy to help. All in the service of Tap Water!
