A Ho Ho Whole New Story

If the Grinch stole Christmas, Khushboo and Sargam Gupta stole its shadow. Silhouettes of the season - snowmen, snow flakes, reindeer and trees - are crafted from coloured acrylic as part of their new lifestyle accessory label, Double Decker Designs. This duo (the former, an NID and Politecnico Di Milano graduate and the latter, a graphic designer) do tree ornaments and magnets, candle stands and bar accessories that make for cheery stocking stuffers without being too sparkly. Where's the fun in that, you ask?

Check out the pretty ornament with a snowflake, snowman and bell strung together and you'll see. bpb also spotted tree and star cocktail stirrers that can almost make you taste the eggnog, Christmas landscape tissue holders and bar magnets all dressed up in red and green bows. All we need for your X-mas party now is some snow. Junkies and dealers, please put your Secret Santa gifts down!

And then there's Khushboo's personal favourite - a red tea light holder with reindeer. View slideshow here.

Like its festive first round, Double Decker Designs plans to launch a new line in time to cash in on every gift-prompting holiday. In fact, the Gupta sisters are putting their heart into a Valentine's Day collection as we speak. So we suppose the mistletoe pieces that don't get sold this December, can always be re-used in February. XOXO.
