Hang It
Decorating a child’s room just got more fun with furniture and furnishings from Squiggle. The cunning crocodile bookshelf pictured above is an exclusive piece crafted from MDF board and then Duco-painted. What’s more, the teeth of the reptile can be used as hooks to hang a hat, bag or belt. Rounded edges minimise the chances of playtime mishaps.
Rs 6,250

Snack Box
Keep candy, sandwiches or bread in this eco-leather holder called Cabrio Ebony Wood Black.
Rs 8,550.

TECH
Out of This World
A 1.2 GHz processor, 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD screen with full 1,280x720 resolution might sound very impressive, but that’s not the highlight of the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. No, this happens to be the first phone to feature Google’s all new Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS and its very, very good.  
Rs 35,000 (expected)

Up in Smoke
The Porsche Design Shisha might actually make you feel like royalty. This high-end piece has been crafted in Germany. There’s discreet branding on its aluminium top, while the flexible tube it comes with is made of TecFlex, the same material used in Porsche Design’s TecFlex writing tools.
