We love the high attention to details, and the perfect aesthetic of the goods selected by The Ordinarist. This young Thai brand bet on promoting self care and love. And they clearly succeeded.

Paniers nem. Wicked wicker baskets the are going to change your family's life ! We love the ones that you can roll around the house. My kids enjoy filling their basket with toys, pretending they are going to the market or on a trip; while I use it to carry laundry around. A really life improver, both useful and pretty.
FOR KIDS
Natural play dough, wooden toys, recycled paper goods, gorgeous unique clothing
Little Legend. All natural scented play dough (from heaven). Won't be able to say enough good things about this brand new little company run by a passionate husband and wife duo. We love their play sets, especially their Christmas edition coming out December 1st (available for shopping on their instagram page ! Say hello to creative play and boundless imagination.
Toyshack. Creative DIY wood toys such as pinballs, guitare, Automa, fishing toy, puzzle, camera...ToyShaks' concept totally won our heart, as it is the perfect way to spend quality time with your child, encourage their creativity and get a gorgeous finished product ! If you are a not so much into making the toy yourself, check out ToyShack's Facebook page for their upcoming workshops in Bangkok.
Elephant poop paper drawing notebooks. Yes, just what it sounds like. This Chiang Mai based company had the brilliant idea to use elephant poop to make paper! They designed a line of various eco-friendly products using their recyled paper such as notebooks, cut out shapes for crafts projects, and activity books. What an unique and eco-friendly gift for little ones, or Christmas note to send to your loved ones.
141 social enterprise. A wood toy studio based in Bangkok's surroundings design gorgeous toys for kids. It is the second time we talk about them on the blog but we really adore their cameras, natural rainbow and elements puzzles, as well as insects set. They make the ideal Christmas present, and simply had to be on this list.
Jiew jiew kidswear. Best teething toys around Bangkok. We love their fruit shaped soft toys, coming in subtle colors, and made of gauze cotton. Jiew View also makes gorgeous clothing for little one, I adore their combo tee and pants for my 18 months old boy. The light and resistant fabric is perfect for steamy days like we often have in Bangkok.
Gorgeous clothing for little ones
ULU. Dreamy baby wears : bodysuits, bloomers (so in love with their ribbed shorts, I even asked if they can make some for big kids & mamas ?), and hats. On top of the great cut, I adore the soft colors and different material used (gauze, ribbed cotton, jersey cotton) which both look and feel incredible. If I ever get another little one, he will be for sure dressed in Ulu head to toe from 0-9 months.
Jampa. A heaven for romper, bloomer and jumpsuit lovers, like me. I am addicted to the perfect cut, the light and resistant fabrics, the minimal design and the natural colors of Jampa clothing's products. Since I got three of their summer rompers for my 18 months old, I forgot all his other clothes! @jampa_clothing
