Bamboo and Plastic Vertical 3 Drawers (3.6H x 17.1W x 24.1D cm)

I have a couple of these units in my office's shelves sitting beside my horizontal desktop drawer unit made of the same good-looking quality bamboo and white sturdy plastic. This unit looks small, but it holds lots of stuff. I have my portable hard drivers stored in one of the drawers, as well as punches, pens, markers, a small portable radio and  other random art supplies and stationery items. It can easily be used as bathroom storage unit for makeup and cosmetics as well. The unit weights about 1.5 Kg, so it can handle weight very well. The only thing that I dislike is that the heights of this and the larger unit are slightly different; the small one is about 0.5cms shorter, something that personally I notice. It would have been great if  they had had identical in height.  

OXX Bodycare Back Scratcher (Lilac) (23.5-61H x 3.9W x 2.4D cm)

This is such a simple tool but it's designed to perfection so that you get right to the itch that is right there on that little unreachable spot. It has an extensible telescopic handle, which makes it ultra convenient to reach the farther regions of your body. The fork-like scratcher is sharp enough to scratch your itch, but not too harsh, so it doesn't damage my skin. However, caution should be exerted with children, as this is not a toy, even though it looks like something you would use to play at the beach. It's made of sturdy plastic and metal.   

KLYNNON Handmade Bamboo Plant Pot (13Hx 12D cm)

This is a mostly decorative handmade bamboo weaved planter with a plastic insert. If you use it with a real plant, the insert will prevent any leakage into the outer shell. If you use it with an artificial plant, it will give it an air of reality. I love the rustic organic feeling of this pot and it goes great with any neutral and/or Scandy space.
 
Materials = Pot, bamboo and clear acrylic lacquer. Insert, PET plastic.
MIND =  Mostly for indoors use as bamboo needs of even cool dry environments.

OXX Essentials Heat-Up Wheat Bag Monster (26H x 19W cms)

This monster heat pad is very cute. I love the plushy  super soft polyester sleeve design. The heating pad contains 100% Australian wheat, even though, to touch, feels more like some sort of mini balls. I had other wheat pads in the past and they emit a slight wheat odor, but this one is odourless.  I heat it up in the microwave 30 seconds and then, supervised, if needed, I go up to 10, 20, or 30 seconds more. My microwave isn't that powerful, so I haven't any problem. The instructions also recommend no to reheat till the pad is totally cold, but I rarely do so; so far so good. The cover has a hanging loop, but why would you want to hand this pad instead of put it close to your body?

LÄMPLIG Bamboo Chopping Board (53L x 46H x 1.8Th cm)

This is an amazing-quality large economic bamboo  chopping board that covers half of my office desk place.  That  big is! It's also heavy. I use it on my kitchen counter to chop up food. It could be used as a cheese and cold meat board in large gatherings, but I find it too heavy for my dining table, and also looks like chopping board not a food board! The board has a raised top that prevents food from spilling out. It also has a milled grove all around the surface to prevent food juices from spilling on to the worktop, but I find it annoying as crumbs get stuck there. The good thing is that I can easily turn it upside down and use the back, which has no grove and use the raised edge to nook onto my table's edge.
 
Care Instructions = Follow these instructions before the first use. Wipe clean with a mild soapy solution.  Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Should be treated with food approved oil now and then. Handwash only.

DVÄRGSLINKE Decorative Horse (13Hx12L cm)

I'm a sucker for black and white anything that have clean design lines that look expensive but are affordable and good quality. This fits the brief! Ain't specially into horse decor, but this an exception, but his Dala Horse is an exemption. This is a gorgeous item of decoration that fits well in spaces with minimalist decor and neutral palette as well as home offices. I really love it. 
 
Designer = IKEA of Sweden. 
Materials = Solid pine, Tinted clear polyurethane lacquer.

TRATTKAKTUS Cushion cover (50x50 cm)

This is an statement cushion cover that fits most Ikea cushion pads. The motifs are based on Sweden's folk imagery and palette. It's printed in vibrant neat colours and looks as good as in the photos. The Trattkaktus lifts up any space decorated in neutral colours, like my office. It 's a gorgeous accent. It's made of 100% cotton and the fabric has a nice canvas-like texture. I haven't washed it yet, so I cannot comment on that.   

Designer = Eva Lundgree.

Care =  Machine wash, max 40°C, normal setting. Don't bleach, tumble dry or dry clean. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron max 150°C.
