Personalised destination print by Betsy Benn

Betsy travel
The destination lists for trains, trams and buses are a surprisingly common source of inspiration for homewares, cropping up on cushionsblinds and, of course, art. You've now got the opportunity to create your own dream journey thanks to this Personalised destination print by Betsy Benn

Executed in a similar style to her London weekend print using the traditional typography used for transport, the difference here is that you get to pick up to 14 lines for inclusion. These could be cities that you've visited or places that you've lived but you could also move away from the travel theme to include things such as your family's names – the world is your oyster really. 

As you might expect, orders have already been pretty busy for Christmas, so get your request in quickly. The print costs £52.

Dub-Box – retro camper van caravan with a high end finish

Mixing reproduction retro parts with cutting edge trailer technology, the Dub-Box has a glass fibre body shell and what's described as a 'handcrafted' finish using your choice of colours and fabrics, as well as a selection of flooring, blinds, upholstery, cupboards and worktops.

London, Paris, New York prints by Bianca Gomez

A great take on three of the world's great cities, courtesy of Bianca Gomez and her prints of London, Paris and New York

Each print depicts a different city in the style of a classic travel poster. While the simple elements are the same in each image – a man in the city, the name of the place running across the print – she manages to inject a bit of personality into each scene. The New York print, for example, looks like its come straight off the cover of a vintage New Yorker magazine, while the London print cleverly uses the font traditionally used for the capital's transport system. The Paris print is suitably full of Gallic charm. 

Each print is A4 sized and you can buy them individually for $30 each, or $75 for a set of three. Alternatively you can get larger individual prints for $60 each.
