No doubt, the holiday rush is about to befall us, financial crisis or not ... I notice more and more inevitably subtle glossy magazines flourish according to my readings women, the timing of the Advent spread in stores (and disappear rather quickly, everyone decided to plan ahead this year?), street lighting adorn themselves with stars and interlacing and promise us a fairyland full of sparkle and sweetness ...

As you all and like every year, I reiterate my promise to myself or-ga-ni-service and do not find myself to go shopping preference December 24 to 17h in search of the ultimate ideal gift. I promise this time I will anticipate, predict, prevent, taste with relish for the week of December and my loved ones are synonymous for me with candles, mandarin, tangerine or even candles and crunchy biscuits.

So I thought it would be interesting to do a small tour of the decoration and identify good ideas and stylish accessories that will definitely please Tata Suzanne or why not myself. I therefore propose to achieve over the next 6 weeks, a jumble of gift ideas that will fall just as much interest and delight your wallets.

The opportunity is too good, why not start with what makes and breaks the harmony of the interior I named: the lighting?

One can always argue that a lamp is more a curio, a fancy bauble for uninspired people, I find instead that the lights are inside the books that are in culture: a constantly renewed experience which is never a surplus.

Original and smart, this lovely lamp branched combining shades and candle designed by Suck out of the ordinary radical and seems to invite us to give free rein to our imagination to bring us to infinite sets of lights. I particularly like the switch over very retro, a real tribute to both the vintage and the cottages of our English neighbors.

On a more modern (though a touch of fantasy in a non-trivial classical can express a very good taste), the lamp Moonwalk , creating fun but not frivolous gloss Thomas de Lussac , arouses my admiration. Finesse, this minimalist silhouette painted steel whose position reminds one not of intergalactic dance to fame seems to find its place in every room of the house and play lamps living room as well as pilot lights, and lamps office or bedside ... a veritable compendium of relatively affordable elegance.

But what will be in my humble opinion the must have winter left the workshop of a heavyweight global technology, with a lamp that fits any mood as it explores the entire color wheel and down into the 16 million colors. Its rounded case with a flat bottom contains a powerful LED - recall that the LED has the advantage of not heating and is characterized by longevity which, for this case touches the decade - which can, optionally, its scroll range of colors automatically or be programmed by selecting a specific shade of color, intensity, saturation and even ...

My gut tells me that there is in this Living colors (this is his first name, while simplicity) is the product of any kind found for urban youth and the followers of the gimmicks on the lookout for high-tech trends.

Next week, our special Christmas section will show you how to please with household gifts.
Good Monday to tou (te) s
