Mini Mello: Shiny bamboo stools for bambino’s

December 30, 2010

Hello, Mini Mello… I’m liking what I see! Colourtastic, cool and eco-friendly mini stools by Ekobo. Made from bamboo and coated in glossy, shiny lacquer in the boldest colours, the Mini Mello comes in lime green, tomato red, hot pink, shiny black and more. And when you fancy a change, just turn it over and you’ve got a mini storage bowl. The Mini Mello costs £48 with free delivery and will be back in stock from 5th January 2011. It measures 34 cms in diameter and it’s 12 cms high… small in size but it holds up to a whopping 90kgs of weight. That means mama’s and daddy’s can sit on it too, so long as the bum fits!

If you want an easy way to make your Christmas gifts look super pretty, don’t miss these. And, you can still get them in time if you order soon. From etsy, these paper flowers are a sweet alternative to bows or ribbon. They cost $3.50 for 12 flowers.
