I first wrote about Thorsten van Elten in 2004 and have enjoyed watching him grow his online design shop ever since. A Brit, who was frustrated by the lack of support new designers were getting, he started his business and now finds, manufactures and sells a wide range of work. And he's got a good, quirky eye and a fun email that keeps you up to date with what's hip in London....
He's also a particularly good design source to highlight at the holidays. A lot of what he sells are gift niche killers. My favorite right now are the Taz ah Mugs (above - models not included) and The Mice in a Pint, which reminds me of my own mouse catching adventures last year. Enjoy!

why are they capturing gerbils? not mice?

Beware the feral gerbil!

I saw the 'catch a mouse in a glass' thing a while back & my first thought was that you'd have to keep checking the trap pretty frequently or the mouse would suffocate, thus making it not so non-lethal... but it's still a cute idea :)
