December fans you made us proud! We saw a number of David Bray and Mina Javid entries, but we are naming Hafiza’s Race Ya Re-Stik installation as the December winner. Her car-crazy boys love looking up at the Race Ya Re-Stik track as they drift off to sleep. Hafiza gets props for the ceiling installation and the cleverly placed light fixture in the center of the track.

With the holidays in full swing and January just around the corner, we’ve put out the call for entries for our January Fan of the Month. Post a photo of Blik in your home or office on our Facebook wall, send us a tweet or email pr(at)whatisblik(dot)com. Just get your photo in by December 31, 2011 to be entered. The lucky winner gets a $25 Blik gift certificate, a Blik tee and a photo in our January Fan of the Month photo album on Facebook and Flickr. Good luck!

Husband, boyfriend or best friend? Whatever the adjective, we’ve got you covered. For the guy who likes to defy authority, we suggest Jeremy Fish’s Buck You. For the pal who has traveled the world and back, eBoy’s Tokyo eCity. For the city dweller who still loves the great outdoors, Stone Jungle from Threadless. And for your little brother who’s still looking for “the one,” try David Bray’s Apollo.

Guys Gift Guide:

1. Buck You (Upper Playground)
2. Tokyo eCity Re-Stik (eBoy)
3. Stone Jungle in black (Threadless)
4. Apollo (David Bray)

Help us spread the love this holiday season! From November 26 until December 24, a percentage of all whatisblik.com sales will go to the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA, which ranks among the world’s elite institutions for pediatric research, teaching and care. We are currently working with Mattel on a project for the hospital. We’ve been hired to art direct all aspects of the job as well as design, manufacture and install wall graphics at the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA Play project. We were so touched by the work Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA does for children that we wanted to give back – with your help, of course!

More about our work with Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA:
Housed within the I.M. Pei designed Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA was named with a generous gift from Mattel Children’s Foundation. The facility is beautifully designed with minimalist details and clean lines. The goal of the Hospital Play project is to infuse the space with…well, a sense of playfulness essential to development, learning, healing and growth. The project is starting with a pilot phase, focusing on the 5th floor and will expand next year. We are working with one of our collaborators, Patrick Hruby, to create a magical world for the kids complete with an enchanted forest, whimsical garden and an undersea adventure.

Update: Our installation happened in December. Here is a sneak peek with a few photos. More photos and a video to come!

January 2012 Update: Thanks to everyone who shopped with us from November 26 to December 24, a donation has been made to Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA. We appreciate your holiday support!

Now, get shopping!

Twas 7 days before Blikmas, and Blik was awake, planning some fun for everyone’s sake! Stay tuned…the first day of Blikmas starts December 1. We’ve got 12 days of awesome giveaways planned for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Get ready for the best gift guide ever — compliments of your friends at Blik.
