Throw out the cheap Ikea dinner set and prepare to eat in style with these super-cool plates by Aussie expats DABS and MYLA. Even the C.O.P. staple of baked beans on week old toast will taste better served on these. Unfortunately these sold out all too quickly for Santa to score us some but hopefully the magic elves can make them appear in time for Christmas day.

I’ve been known to get adventurous in the kitchen when the green has been plentiful but my skills are fairly limited to ‘special’ shortbread cookies. Little did I know I could have made cannabis spring rolls! Probably don’t use any of these recipes for Christmas lunch with the relos… No, wait… That’s a perfect idea!

These translucent aerosols from Ironlak come in black and white and have revolutionised creating depth, 3D and drop shadows in pieces, characters and lettering. The above example from SOFLES shows just what can be done which is far beyond what our poor-to-average can control could ever do. Totally worth experimenting with, you’ll fall in love.

I was a bit ‘meh’ about the last, very floral, Nike x Liberty collection so I was happy to see the much more edgier print and neon highlights in the recent collabo. If you’re not a fan of the wedge sneaker, the collection also has an Air Max 1 and some running styles as well as a rare letterman jacket (see below pics). The dunks are easy to get but the other styles will require some hunting down.
