New Creative Rides the Wave with National Geographic Coastal Collection

Milford, OH — New Creative Enterprises (NCE), a leading designer and manufacturer of home decor and gift items, has teamed with National Geographic to create the National Geographic Coastal Collection.

The new coastal-themed collection of trend-forward decor and gift items offers customers a new way to bring the beauty and tranquility of the shoreline to their homes. With items such as the Sea Urchin Birdhouse, biodegradable Sand Piper Tea Lights, Shell Design Post, Lighthouse Fountain with Solar Light, Welcome Heron Design Post, and Wood-Carved Great Blue Heron on Base, it’s possible to add ocean-side ambience to any room or garden.

The trendy Sea Urchin Birdhouse is a unique display of the fascinating spiny creatures that are found in oceans all over the world. The ceramic birdhouse stands 7.5 inches wide and 13.5 inches tall and features a clean-out access hole. Suggested retail price is $36.

New eco-friendly debuts include the Sand Piper Tea Light Holders. These tea light holders are made of a noncombustible clay that biodegrades after being in the ground for three years. The set of two stands 8 inches high and retails for $32.

The Shell Design Post, measuring 11 inches wide by 18.5 inches tall, is the perfect way to welcome friends and family to any home. The resin-and-metal design post features antique bronze and a keyhole for hanging. Suggested retail price is $45.

The Lighthouse Fountain with Solar Light is resin, sculpted to look as if carved from wood, and makes a gorgeous addition to any outdoor garden area. The lighthouse stands majestically over a fountain that pools into two ponds at the base, and its solar lights illuminate the night. The complete ensemble stands 23.5 inches wide by 34.5 inches tall and retails for $460. The solar light will shine four to six hours after average daylight exposure.

The unique, wood-carved look of the Welcome Heron Design Post features a beautifully illustrated Great Blue Heron. The resin design post is 10.5 inches wide by 18 inches tall and features a keyhole for hanging. Suggested retail price is $45.

Sculpted of genuine, hand-carved wood, the Wood-Carved Great Blue Heron on Base stands an impressive 21 inches tall by 10.5 inches wide. Each piece is unique, featuring a Great Blue Heron poised as if to snatch an unsuspecting fish from the water. The beautiful statuary features an antique-paint finish, and complements any decor, outside or in. Suggested retail price is $70.

The National Geographic Coastal Collection will debut at the summer markets, and can be seen in Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle. Products will be available to ship on June 16.
