Gift Bag 2007: Win a David Weeks Skulrilla from Design Public

 12-3-giftbagtopper3.jpg


Welcome to our Simple Holiday Gift Bag in which instead of doing a "gift guide", we do that AND give them away to our readers. All the info is below. Happy Holidays!

12-20-twentytwo.jpgGift: Skulrilla
Designer: David Weeks
Shop: Design Public
City: San Francisco

Description: Design Public says: Technically, you are looking at a beautifully designed ashtray...you can be guaranteed hours of enjoyment watching smoke come out of its eyes and nostrils. But you need not be a smoker to enjoy one of these bad boys; they would look just as intriguing on a coffee table stuffed with hard candies for your guests. Just try not to get the kind with the jelly in the middle. Those are just gross.
