Decorative ideas with a surprise element
Some decorative ideas resist neat categorisation – and that's precisely where their appeal lies. Figurine sets with toadstools, cacti or coffee cups in the three-monkeys motif speak to anyone who values originality in gift-giving. The objects are hand-painted, typically come in gift packaging and combine humour with collector character.
Aztec caskets and a backflow incense holder in temple design bring a different stylistic world into play – Mesoamerican aesthetics that are decorative and functional at once. Ocean waves as abstract decorative sculptures show that nature-inspired motifs without a specific animal or theme can also work as a spatial accent.
Pet urns are the most emotional product within this category – hand-painted with religious or angelic motifs, intended as a dignified vessel for the ashes of beloved animals. They speak to a quite different audience from the rest of this page, but have no dedicated category of their own.
Further unusual ideas are available within the Fun & Gift Ideas area.
