Coca-Cola is committed to spreading happiness and sharing positive emotions all around the globe. Usually, one doesn’t need much to feel happy, since even a small gesture, a little personalized gift can make our day. In Australia, the legendary soft drink brand has released a range of bottles and cans with the most popular names in the country—Jess, Sam, Edward, Matt, Kevin, Kate and others (there are 150 of them)—printed on the front of the packaging as part of the Share a Coke campaign ahead of the Christmas season, inviting people to buy these personalized drinks for their friends and family. Consumers can purchase the cans and bottles, which already have the names, or ask to put the ones they want for free at one of 18 Westfield Shopping Centers.

The Italian coffee brand illy, which infuses coffee with art in its bespoke Art Collection, is extending the range of artist cups and saucers with a new limited-edition piece, created by celebrated Bombay-born sculptor Anish Kapoor, who’s been living in London for 40 years. The artist, known for his giant projects such as his huge Leviathan intallation in Paris or Cloud Gate in Chicago, this time switched to tiny sizes, but still applied his unparalleled approach and signature style to designing the cup. Just like most of his creations, the new illy coffeeware has a metallic touch and is dedicated to blending emptiness/fullness and external/ internal in one piece.
