Over the course of our intrepid design adventures, some of the things we stumble across are just way too cute. Introducing the Whale Tissue Holder – sure to put a smile on the most bunged-up, stuffy-nosed, sorry-looking faces. Entirely hand-cut, hand-painted and even hand-sanded between layers, each whale is lovingly constructed from sustainable wood sourced from a local North American supplier.

Billed as ‘functional and unique works of art’, every whale face is drawn on by hand before the edges of the dispenser are given a final distressed finish. Just in case your whale wasn’t feeling personalised enough, each receives its very own stamp, date, signature and number. Buying the whale is basically like buying a pet. But one that hands you tissues.
