As a slight twist to the annual Secret Santa pre-Christmas celebrations, we decided to show some skills at making our own ‘secret’ presents. Santa’s Big Handout revealed some truly sparkling talents outside of the work arena – gifts included a beautifully crafted wooden Christmas tree decoration (seen in use and adorning our family tree), special ‘Apple’ logo biscuits (for a notoriously anti-Apple brand colleague), a splendidly knitted scarf, an original Christmas tree framed illustration, 2 beautiful/festive candles, an entire tribute website (themed to reflect the receiver’s passion for a niche subject matter), some AMAZING chocolate truffles, complete with outstanding packaging/photography, homemade limoncello and a booze-filled Snowman piñata. Brilliant!

Only 10 days until Christmas so here’s some festival fun. I’m linking to this for more than just the cute factor though. I’ve never seen an interactive video like this on You Tube before.

The Single Lane Super Highway is one of the most fun and creative websites I have seen in a while. Every car on the site has been drawn by a visitor and they drive by in a never ending parade. Drawing is simple and quick and it cleverly animates your wheels for you. Look out for a tank and the man swimming from the shark which I drew, Luke’s square wheeled caveman car and his man chasing a football! Go get drawing!

A clever stop motion video with some great ideas by Tom Jenkins of Theory Films. What happens beyond the edges of the screen is just as interesting as what is being displayed.
A lonely desk toy longs for escape from the dark confines of the office, so he takes a cross country road trip to the Pacific Coast in the only way he can – using a toy car and Google Maps Street View.
