IMPOSSIBLE… or not?
Gift giving can give anyone a headache.
Dipping into Il Poso’s gift giving list, we chose five highly original presents.
from the “IL POSO” gift giving list
1. How incredible would it be to have a crossword all about your partner or your best friend? It can be done. Commission a professional cruciverbalist to create a New York Times-style crossword puzzle completely customized to their life.
2. A scent from a flower that went extinct in 1912 definitely caught our attention. Future Society uses DNA sequencing from preserved botanical specimens to reconstruct the scent molecules of flowers that no longer exist on Earth.
3. A chunk of Himalayan salt rock that looks like a sculpture with its own Japanese grater & wooden stand…. because rock salt can be sculpture too.
4. A surprise book for every month of the year by the legendary London bookshop Heywood Hill (who also just happen to provide King Charles with his reading material.)
5. And finally… We saved the best for last. Consider A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE LAB MAG. Becoming a member helps to keep the good times rolling, the printing presses running and a love affair with curiosity as strong as ever. If you are not a member, join us. If you are, consider giving a membership to a friend. Or just pick up our latest edition FORM vol.1. for a taster.
For more fabulously creative gifts, check out more suggestions from the cool hunter Alison Kennedy at KPR in her Il Poso newsletter.
And two more things… for the nature lovers out there, consider planting the gift of a tree somewhere in the world. Or Doctors giving help where-ever they are needed.
