Toothbrush Travel Set
A journey by plane, train or automobile might not be the swift and sexy ride it once was, but that doesn't mean we can't at least make a stylish effort. The Brillo toothbrush by Chaki Murata for Metaphys in Japan is the perfect antidote. The ergonomically compact form acts like a switchblade, the brush head flipping out of the body with just a flick. When not in use, slip it into the well-constructed leather case. Ready for gifting, each black box comes equipped with three replacement brushes. The black brush holder comes with a white case; the white holder's case is natural. Whenever he removes his brush from his bag and whips it open, Andy says he feels a bit like James Bond. The Brillo is simply, well, brilliant! from Metaphys'

Not only does this make the range unique it also has the practical benefit of providing easy access and comfort as well as providing a very modern twist on the bar-stool genre.

Menu Gift Boxes
At Gift Fair, since the emphasis is naturally on the products themselves, the packaging is often hidden away. Creative Danes’ booth was like this. Out on display were products from Menu A/S: a colorful series of rubber vases, organically shaped terracotta oil lamps, and other modernist housewares. But tucked onto the shelves underneath were some very nice gift boxes that these products come in.
Dark on the outside, photogenic on the inside, these Cinderella-like boxes perhaps don’t get the attention they deserve. from Menu Gift Boxes
