Chalked up
Make sure that you always have somewhere to jot down your thoughts with this pretty magnetic chalkboard. It's meant for kids' rooms, but would look just as great in the kitchen with your shopping list sprawled all over it. Dh249, Indigo Living, Dubai
Heart felt
This might not be your most practical purchase ever, but on those odd days that the temperatures do drop in the UAE, be prepared with this adorable water bottle by Gisela Graham. Dh75, Indigo Living, Dubai
Shapely addition
Spice up your outdoor spaces with this oversized candle by Broste Copenhagen. The Danish company's products are all made from the purest raw materials, so this candle is guaranteed to maintain its shape while emitting minimal amounts of soot and smoke. Dh105, Bloomingdale's Home, Dubai Mall
Bowled over
New to Bloomingdale's Home and available outside of the US for the first time, Julia Knight's handcrafted serveware is something we're coveting. This oval bowl from the Peony collection comes in a range of colours but we particularly love the deliciously named Raspberry version. Dh300, Bloomingdale's Home
Handy extras
Give an old sofa new life with a smattering of these bright pink Hand of Fatima cushions. They'll ward off the evil eye - and keep you bang on-trend as well. Bargain! Dh575, Bloomingdale's Home
