Lovejoy Vodka.

Really lovely package design for Lovejoy Vodka by ID Branding. There are four labels available, allowing the buyer to fit the design to their mood and taste at any given moment. New designs will be released with time and older ones retired, making each a sort of collector’s item. Love it.

this water.

this water is simple: a blend of pure fruit juices, crushed fruit and pure spring water. I love the fun, whimsical feeling of the label for something so honestly simple. Has anyone seen this beverage in stores outside of the UK?

honibe.

honibe introduces the Honey Drop, the world’s first pure, non-sticky honey that you can hold. Use it to sweeten your tea, coffee or hot water. Just stir it in and enjoy. One Honey Drop equals a teaspoon of liquid honey. I truly love this idea!

Eugene and Louise Bakery.

Eugene and Louise Bakery in Antwerp is the team-up between three Belgian friends: Glenn D’Hondt & Sylvia Meert (aka Eugene and Louise) and Tinne Mermans.

Their product design couldn’t be any more playful and fun if they tried. I’m sure the product is fantastic, but it could taste like tires and I’d still buy it as long as it looked like this!

Honey Latte.

My morning started out blah with the coffee timer not going off and me having a bad hair day. Now I had to break my rule of Starbuck’s only once a week and swing by on my way to work. I was going to hit the drive-thru, but the line was waaay too long for that, so I parked and went in. While focusing on which scone to get I saw a sign on the counter for the Honey Latte. I’m a Starbuck’s fanatic, so when something is new I know it. My morning was made (seriously) when the barista offered to make me a sample, which turned out to be a “short” cup. Huge by sample standards. Needless to say, this wouldn’t be a shameless plug if I didn’t gush and gush (and use bold letters) about how absolutely delicious the Honey Latte turned out to be. Mine was hot, but you can also have it iced or as a frapp. Talk about versatility. Run out and get one now because I may drink them all otherwise!

Vosges: The Sensory Collection.

Chocolate on Valentine’s Day is just about as cliche as roses, except when it comes to Vosges’ Sensory Collection.

The extensive Collection is both a connoisseur’s guide to chocolate tasting and an game of smell and taste. Designed to develop your sense of smell and your ability to recognize and articulate the aromas of varietal chocolate. The experience of uncapping vials, inhaling essences and nibbling chocolate will engage and intrigue.

Not to mention how sexy the experience could be given the right set of circumstances. *wink, wink*

Waitrose.

Waitrose is a supermarket chain in England that combines the convenience of an ordinary supermarket with the expertise and service of a specialty shop. Freshness and quality of foods are number one and they take it to the bank with their own in-house line of “generic” goods. Nothing new there, but what is different is the quality of design apparent in every Waitrose branded product. I saw their products in the latest Communication Arts and was really impressed.

Brix Chocolate.

I’ve been craving chocolate all day, so when I saw Brix Chocolate I was overcome by my craving and the great packaging by mod. It’s chocolate for wine lovers which instantly put thoughts of a glass of red and a fireplace into my mind. We’re supposed to get snow tonight and I can think of nothing more relaxing than couching it with some wine and chocolate.

1 litre.

The 1 litre Water Company has truly impressed me with their packaging for 1 litre and 1 half litre. These bottles are the first to incorporate an actual cup into their design. Makes drinking bottled water (which is fast becoming a no-no, I know, I know) a little more sophisticated, dontcha think? I’m also digging the simplicity of the logo, but it does feel a little reminiscent of level vodka in my opinion.
