GrandinRoad

There is no better solo activity than snuggling up to read while it rains outside…and rains…and rains.  GrandinRoad makes this comfy pastime orGLAMic with their Southport Eco Suede Chair.  Every yard of the 100% polyester micro-suede fabric contains the equivalent of one recycled water bottle and looks superbly chic while doing it.  I love the sleek design of this orGLAMic chair and could easily see it in my bedroom’s reading corner (and confession, where my clothes tend to pile up).  Click here to buy this eco-conscious chair and here to check out GrandinRoad’s new collection of outdoor furniture made of FSC- and IBAMA- certified wood and LED outdoor light globes.

Amenity Home

Always on the lookout for modern ways to celebrate old traditions, this Arroyo Modern Hanukkah Menorah absolutely takes the cake.  I have mentioned Amenity Home on orGLAMic before, but they always impress me with their take on “comfy-modern” designs.  The FSC-certified walnut candle blocks of this menorah, hand-crafted by Los Angeles artisans, can be used throughout the home all year long and then come together to work beautifully for any Hanukkah ceremony.  I also like the fact that the blocks can be rearranged year after year to offer a fresh perspective and look.  The soy candles in this menorah are hand-poured and made with 100% cotton wicks for a clean burn.  Click here to bring this orGLAMic design to your families Hanukkah celebration for years to come.

Because I currently have 6 (yes, count ’em, 6!) friends who are pregnant right now, a rocker just may be the perfect orGLAMic gift this season.  I love, love, love the sleek lines of the GT Rocker by Gus*.  Made of FSC certified wood, this simple and versatile rocker makes the perfect orGLAMic addition to any baby nursery and can actually be used for years beyond as well.  The Mid-Century Brulee option pictured above is the best for mom’s to be, but the chair is also available in Clementine and Nickel.  Click here for more info, or here to find a Gus* furniture dealer near you.
