A few years ago, Beau Coffron was looking for a crafty way to connect with his daughter and let her know she was on his his mind when she started Kindergarten. When he started tinkering with creating characters and scenes out of food in her lunchboxes, little did he know he would develop a reputation as "Lunchbox Dad".

Customised Lunchbox Fun

Lunchbox Dad records all of his impressive lunch dioramas on his blog, where he hopes they will inspire other parents to find creative ways to show their kids they love them.

Clothing has long been a medium of expressing identity and status, including gender. One such example is the direction of shirt buttons, a seemingly small detail that carries historical significance. You may not even be aware of this, but the differences in mens and womens business shirts goes beyond tailoring to fit our different body types. For centuries there has been a genderized divide when it comes to the placement of buttons– and no one can quite pinpoint exactly why women's shirt buttons are on the right and men's are on the left. 

• Button placement on men's and women's shirts is rooted in societal norms.
• Clothing design is evolving towards inclusivity and diversity, with brands defying gender norms.
• Fashion challenges gender roles and promotes equality.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits Australia on December the 17^th. For those of you who don’t live in the land down under, that’s generally one of the hottest times of the year. The only white Christmas we’d ever get is from a rain of fire retardant foam because it’s not unusual for a large percentage of the country to burst into flame around the holiday season. In some ways we’re like a mix between Tattooine and Mustafar during the summer. So when spontaneous combustion is a likely occurrence, staying hydrated and cool is a must. Which is why these new Star Wars stein mugs and ice cube trays are an excellent gift to any star wars fan.

Featuring a hinged lid where their heads should be, these ceramic steins will keep your drink cool and prevent any spillage. Darth Vader,

Brands evolve over the years. Times change, and so does style. To remain on the top, companies change their look to match. Logos become smoother, cleaner, more modern, and more elegant. Google is no different. Since their founding in 1997, they’ve gone through 7 iterations of their famous, brightly coloured logo, with the seventh and most recent design unveiled only days ago on September 1^st 2015. In following the trend of their past few designs, they’ve made their logo smoother, flatter, and simpler.

Over the years Google have streamlined and updated their design. Their first logo in 1997 was almost tragically 1990’s. It looked like something a kid created from Wordart during a computer studies class in Primary School. Their second logo a year later showed

Book lovers can be tricky to buy for. A personalised printed notebook is a great idea, but it might not always make the cut. Here are some ideas that are sure to impress...

Custom Merchandise For Readers

Clip-on Reading Light
This is a handy gift for those who like to read in bed and on the go. Likewise, a custom branded pocket torch is a multi-purpose gift that would also help light up the pages of the latest book they can't put down.

Classic Novel Match Boxes
These cheeky miniatures are not what they seem.

Logo Design Inspiration

Just because a brand is instantly recognisable by it's logo,  that doesn't mean it couldn't use a little improvement. Especially in the eyes of design geeks and fans of hand lettering.

Custom Branding Exercise

New Zealand-based designer Sara Marshall has stepped in with her "Brand by Hand" series; an experimental lettering project in which she has created hand-lettered versions of the logos of famous company brands, and through this she has explored the attributes that define them.

We think these gorgeous reimagined logos would look great on special ranges of custom branded merchandise.

In this one, the internationally recognisable Skype logo gets a whimsical reinterpretation:

Water is really good for you, no I do not mean in a sense that it keeps us alive. You see water has a heap of benefits that you may not know about.

Yawn! Coffee cups have been looking a bit too similar for the past 5 years. I have been seeing all sorts of cute and cool graphics on coffee cups, however it has been a while since I have seen a design that is not only original, but is genuinely practical. This original design is one that definitely ticks both these boxes.

A Comfortable Custom Mug

This particular mug is called the Kruzhkus Mug. The design features a larger loop for your first 3 fingers, the reason? Well your pinky finger and the finger next to it are shorter. Therefore wouldn’t it make sense to have your cup handle accommodate this? Well this mug surly does. I don’t know about you, but I think this is just the perfect custom cup for

On some mornings, do you find that a mere standard cup of coffee is not enough? I know I have that feeling sometimes too. You see most standard coffee cups and travel cups are generally a mere 420ml and this is not merely enough. This is where a product like this cup comes in handy.

A Coffee Cup for Giants

This particular travel coffee cup is delightfully huge. In fact it is so big that it can easily carry the equivalent of 6 cups. The first time I saw this cup, I literally grinned and chuckled. It is so outrageously big. This cup in litres is 1.54 litres.
