IDEAS FOR XMAS BY: PAUL SMITH

I'm probably the most difficult person in the entire world to buy a Christmas present for and so, with this in mind I thought I would suggest a few things we sell that are interesting and not so easy to find elsewhere! Of course there's lots of Paul Smith clothes including some really great Tuxedo's in case you are invited to a special party - but here is a list of some pretty special things.

Tannheim Winter Train Set £1000.00 'TANNHEIM' WINTER TRAIN SET We have a miniature train set in a suitcase - which is so amazing. I used to take it to meetings in Japan and bring it out when I was bored and say, "I'm bored now, I'm going to play with my train set". Luckily everyone thought it was really funny. I'm pleased to say I'm still doing really well in Japan! 1960's BRASS PARROT You probably know that I have a really interesting furniture, objects and curiosity shop in London's Mayfair - there's a really great, but strange brass parrot. Now that really is good for someone who has everything. It doesn't mess or eat much and makes the perfect house guest. 1960's Brass Parrot £1200.00 Paul Smith for Stelton £40.00 - £319.00 PAUL SMITH FOR STELTON Last year I was asked to revitalise a verybeautiful collection of stainless steel teapots and cofee pots etc, that were originally designed 50 years ago by the famous Danish designer Arne Jacobsen. This was a pretty scary task because I have such respect for him and his work so I decided to simply add colour to his original designs. They're quite expensive but are really beautiful and will last forever. YOU CAN FIND INSPIRATION IN EVERYTHING I know this is boring but it's very popular - 'You can Find Inspiration in Everything...'. Anybody who's interested in fashion would find it useful because it's not just full of pretty pictures but is quite down to earth and full of information. 'You can find inspiration in everything' Book by Paul Smith £29.95 Monty Python Board Game £19.99 MONTY PYTHON'S REALLY SILLY BOARD GAME Really Silly - I've Always loved Monty Python and now there is a board game available - which is extremely silly! 1970'S CHROME FLOOR LAMP Back to my furniture shop in London again where you can find a great 1970's chrome floor lamp. If you're into the 70's and you need a lamp, this is the one for you. 1970's Chrome Floor Lamp £1200.00 1950's Vintage Whistle Chain by Halo Jones £129.00 HALO JONES JEWELLERY For the lady in your life, jewellery from Halo Jones Halo Jones uses carefully hand picked antique pieces and reassembles them into original and beautiful vintage chains and pins. STRIPE BONE CHINA As you know we've produced a few things with stripes over the years, famously using our multi-coloured stripe. This is a new collection of bone china, which comes in black and white stripes with each item having a different width of stripe and also having a different colour rim or handle. As they are bone china, this means they are quite expensive but they are very special. Stripe Bone China £39.00 - £500.00 Yamaha Mini Systems £275.00 YAMAHA MINI SYSTEMS These days we all seem to own one of those lovely little Apple music makers. TheseYamaha mini systems make the sound even better and comes in a great selection of colours.
