The creators of the recycled tube & bus seating footwear, ABOVE+BELOW LONDON, have collaborated with the pioneer of British Pop Art, Sir Peter Blake, to produce 5,000 limited edition 'recycled tin' wall plate sets entitled "I LOVE LONDON"& "I LOVE RECYCLING". The works are a passionate declaration of his feelings towards the city that continues to inspire him and his creativity.

They are available for the special introductory price of £60 +P&P exclusively from www.urbanremade.com and would make excellent gifts any time of year (but are likely to sell out by Christmas!).

Rubens at The Palace is opposite The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, the Queen's stables. I decided to have a look in their gift shop after visiting The Royal Mews and discovered these wonderful Nutcracker dolls.

Even though the Nutcracker is considered a Christmas tradition, these dolls are on sale all year round. Priced at £1.50, £3.99, £7.99, £8.99 and £39.99 they are easily affordable. Plus, all bar the smallest ones have moving mouths.

Note, the gift shop is not open at the weekends, and closes for lunch on weekdays from 2-3pm.
