Who? Cachette What? We love these quirky origami lamps from Cachette; folded from one piece of “butterfly paper” and available in eight different colours, there’s just something decidedly zen about them. Made in Holland, the lamps come with a porcelain bulb socket, for E27 eco-friendly bulbs, and textile covered cable. Priced at £73,23. When? Available now Where? Available online from Cachette How?

Who? Villa San Paolo What? Escape to the heart of Tuscany at Villa San Paolo, a quaint little spa hotel just outside of the ancient town of San Gimignano. There, you will find a charming and peaceful stay amidst the rolling Tuscan hills. It’s a little out of the way, so perfect for a getaway, but also close enough to San Gimignano to add a touch of culture to your break. The thing that’s really not to be missed, though, is the stunning view at breakfast. When? Available now Where? Strada Provinciale per Certaldo, 53037 San Gimignano (SI), Italy How?

Who? Bose What? We think the Bose Wave SoundTouch music system could be the ultimate alarm clock. It’s fully wifi enabled and has the usual AM/FM/DAB radio functions as well as CD and MP3 capabilities. To snooze, all you need to do is touch the top. And best of all? It’s got a speaker system that’s serious enough to be used as a standalone, or multi-room, entertainment system. Priced at £679.95. When? Available now Where? Available online from Bose How?
