It is intended to spread joy throughout the world much like the child’s toy that inspired it. But this duck is not just for children. “I see it as an adult thing. It makes you feel young again,” Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman told CNN. “It refers to your childhood when there was no stress or economic pressure, no worry about having to pay the rent.”

Feeling cultural? Do visit the most beautiful museum in the world. The Guggenheim in Bilbao, the stunning architecture by J Paul Gehry is beyond stunning. The collections varies, so do check the website. But the museum alone is worth visiting.

We do like the odd broche, especially these made from old dutch stamps and embellished with silver trimmings and pearls. Really highly original and affordable, they also carry a very nice range of decorated cameo’s. Located in the design capital of Holland, Eindhoven.
