Sundries with the Wow Factor

1st May 2013

AntikBar has been featured in the latest BFA (British Florist Association) magazine: "Sundries with the Wow Factor" by Shirley Chisnall, issue 4, page 22-23: 

"Scented candles, personalised mementoes, sundries and special gifts can make an occasion extra special. They also have the all important ‘feelgood factor’. In this issue of BFA Florist magazine we’ve got together with some leading suppliers and also found one or two more bespoke gifts to give you a few extra ideas.

Sundries can elevate the simple to the sophisticated and show that you have taken that little bit of extra time and trouble which makes everyone feel special. Perfect for formal dinners, charity galas, prom nights, more intimate celebrations or events on a grand scale, everything from living vases to silk flowers can keep floral designs on trend in this year’s contrasting colour palette incorporating delicate pastels or dazzling neons. 

Family occasions are the time to show you care. I have scoured department stores, the internet, books and magazines – and I’m quite skilled in sourcing tips and new ideas in the media. I’ve even browsed online museum shops and tourist hotspots in a desperate bid to find inspiration... That's where the whole world of gifts can come into its own.

AntikBar is a London-based online business specialising in original vintage posters covering a variety of subjects – travel, advertising, sport, cinema, war and propaganda – from around the world, mainly from the late 1800s to 1970s. Posters are a great way to add colour and an individually unique statement to any room and can be suited to the size and budget as required. The variety of subjects and styles in poster design make them adaptable to any interior design and perfect as a gift. Original vintage posters are also highly collectible and are recognised as a sound art investment. As antique and vintage items, they are also eco-friendly.
