Fresh Design Finds: Penguin inspired homeware and Christmas gift ideas

It’s the time of year when adverts become the talk of the office. But not just any old ads – Christmas adverts!

John Lewis launched their Christmas ad last week, featuring Sam and his best friend, Monty the Penguin. The heart warming ad tells a tale of friendship, love and gift giving. Not surprisingly, John Lewis also have a range of penguin themed gifts and Monty memorabilia available.

We’ve been on the hunt to see what other penguin inspired homeware is available from other shops and designers…..and look what we found!
