• Something Interesting

  Here are a list of items that I thought were pretty interesting to have

  TV-B-Gone

  

  I can't count the number of times I wish I had one of these.
  Especially at airports when there's three televisions all within a 15
  foot radius each on different channels...drives me crazy. This little
  remote will turn off virutally any television within a 20 to 50 foot
  range, all with a press of a button. Of course, your magic powers could
  cause some upset, but I think sometimes a break from all the TV noise
  is a very, very good thing.

  May take up to 69 seconds for the television to turn off (90% of televisions should turn off within 17 seconds).

  Time - Tag

  

  This inconspicuous little tag from Vessel affixes to your sleeve when you don't feel like wearing a watch.

  Fuchs (Fox) Messenger Bag

  

  This would be super handy- a bag that adjusts to your needs
  depending on how much stuff you're carrying around. Plus, a 15" Laptop
  sleeve is included.

  "Ingeniously designed, the entire bag can be folded apart and
  reclosed to fit whatever volume you need. Locked securely in place with
  super wide velcro, the water repellent Wool Felt bag can be carried a
  multitude of ways and its orientation can be changed with the flick of
  a wrist."

  Risk It / Play It Safe Coin

  

  A simple way to make up your mind (would also be a thoughtful gift for someone with a decision looming over their heads)...

  materials: pewter
  dimensions: 1" in diameter

  Also available: 'sex/tv', 'my turn/your turn', 'naughty/nice'

  Speed Laces

  
  

  Have you seen these yet? I think they're pretty neat and definitely
  look a little snazzier than regular ol' laces. The grey things screw
  into the existing holes of your sneakers and then you thread the new
  stretchy (or non-strechy if you prefer) laces in/around and suddenly
  your old sneakers look a whole lot cooler (and supposedly more comfy
  too).

  Lots of color options for laces to choose from; fittings are available in off-white, gray, and black.

  Card Bottle Opener

  

  This is simply the best bottle-opener I've ever seen: It fits in
  your wallet and is far less obtrusive than a key-chain bottle opener.

  brushed stainless steel.

  Deep Boxes

  

  These are really great, and I won't even try to describe them myself:

  "Deep Boxes are a revolutionary development in the evolution of
  cards and gifts. Three-dimensional morsels of timeless wisdom, Deep
  Boxes convey much more than a card yet provide all the same
  functionality. After inscribing the box bottom with a personal message,
  the giver presents the box to someone in need of non-hokey affirmation.
  The recipient opens the box to find an unexpected reflection and
  message, superimposed onto his or her delighted face. Afterward the box
  becomes an objet de display, a container for precious items, or even
  something we haven’t yet thought up."

  etwork 70w Bookcase in Ebony

  

  Made from environmentally friendly bamboo, this bookcase is just right for a long-term storage piece.

  Wall Slant

  

  "Constructed of eco-friendly bamboo ply, the Wall Slant shelf is part
  of the forward-thinking furniture line offered by Rhubarb Decor. It
  boasts useful spaces for books to lean naturally, reducing fatigue on
  their spines.
  

  Shoe Rack

  

  I think this is one of those things that you don't fully appreciate
  until you actually own it. It would certainly organize entryways and
  decrease the chance of tripping over stray shoes. We've posted this
  before a while ago; now it's available in the smaller size at a
  slightly more affordable price.

  "The Horizontal Shoe Rack (2004) is a wall-mounted solution for
  organizing shoes. The simple design gives footwear the appearance of
  floating in air, and by taking shoes off the floor it simplifies the
  process of sweeping or vacuuming underneath."

  Brushed stainless steel.

  Timeless Watch

  

  Make an anti-watch statement with this very witty bracelet.

  "Seifart plays with the trend in which watches are increasingly being
  used as fashion accessories rather than as a way of telling time. This
  timeless bracelet is made from stainless steel and has a traditional
  fold-over clasp."
