Apothecary Fern by Julie Mulligan

Updated Jul 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I really like this Apothecary Fern ($60) by floral lifestyle expert Julie Mulligan. This unique floral set comes with a rustic clear glass apothecary jar and lid modeled after the types of containers used to store and dispense medicinal drugs by apothecaries, a fresh green fern in a grow pot and a bag of green moss. It sort of makes me feel important to know I can capture and control a very small bit nature right on my desk at work. (via Michael Kiely)

FakeTV - LED Television Simulator Deters Burglars

Updated Jul 23, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It's the middle of summer vacation season and there will be many unoccupied homes protected only with lights on timers. This is America and if the lights are on all night and the flickering glow of the television isn't, more than likely nobody is at home. One of the best ways to deter thieves, burglars, prowlers and other criminals lurking about your neighborhood looking for easy targets is to leave that television on. The only problem with putting a television on a timer is that it's an environmental waste of energy, expensive and worst of all, most televisions don't even work with timers because they need to be turned on with the push of a button. Well it's no longer a problem, I found a great new solution!

Make your house look occupied and lived in with the cool new FakeTV - LED Television Simulator ($40). This innovative burglar deterrent device uses computer-controlled, super-bright, multi-color LEDs to simulate the changing light, scene changes, fades, swells, flickers, on-screen motion, and color changes just like a real television. When positioned correctly in a room, the effect of someone watching television inside is perfectly replicated to anyone who happens to be standing outside. A thief would more than likely not take any chances, skip your house and hopefully just move onto your neighbor's.

This little gadget is perfect for frequent travelers, long trips and vacations, vacant homes, vulnerable people, bad neighborhoods or simply for general peace of mind. It might also be helpful as a sleep aid for those who like to fall asleep to the soft flickering glow of a tv. Cool idea, huh? (via Michael Kiely)

AirDrives - Ambient Awareness Earphones

Updated Jul 21, 2008

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

The problem with all headphones, earphones and earbuds is that you simply can't hear what is going on in the world around you. I don't know how many times I have missed phone calls, knocks on the door, doorbells, car horns, smoke alarms, people screaming at me, trains, air raids, explosions, tornado sirens and more simply because I couldn't hear them with my headphones on. Well, with the cool new AirDrives Earphones ($80), I can finally enjoy my music and still be completely aware of my surroundings.

Unlike most earphones that block the ear canal from ambient sounds, the AirDrive speakers create less sound pressure levels because they rest comfortably outside the ear on the small protuberance anterior to your ear canal called the tragus. While delivering great sound quality at only 80 dB at the inner ear level, you will still be able to hear what is going on around you. These earphones are absolutely perfect for the office, jogging, working out or anywhere else you still need to hear the outside world. Even better, these earphones meet and surpass OSHA's federal all-day listening standard. (via Michael Kiely)

Collapsible Chopsticks

Updated Jul 21, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I'm not a regular user of the ancient chopstick during meals, but if I was, I would carry these cool new Collapsible Chopsticks ($30). Simply slide the wooden white ash tips out of the hollow stainless steel upper section and screw the two pieces together using the all brass hardware. After you are finished with your meal, wash the chopsticks, collapse them back down and stow them safely away in the included weather-resistant nylon pouch. The white ash wooden tips are made from recycled baseball bats from local teams in Japan and coated with an all natural tree sap based finish. (via Michael Kiely)

Trapdoor Toaster

Updated Jul 18, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Does your toaster still pop up the toast? Well, down is the new up in the 21st century with the cool new Trapdoor Toaster ($80). After this unique 1,400 watt toaster has finished precision-browning your bread, bagel, waffle, pastry and more, it drops it down through a trapdoor and onto a serving tray. The drop down concept is kind of fun and easier than digging out toast that gets stuck, but I actually think my favorite feature is the internal cord storage. (via Michael Kiely)

NatureMill Plus - Automatic Kitchen Composter

Updated Jul 18, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Turn fruits, vegetables, egg shells, coffee grounds, grains and more into fresh nutrient-rich organic fertilizer in only two weeks with the cool new NatureMill Plus - Automatic Kitchen Composter ($299). Unlike the those big complicated outdoor compost bins, this unique indoor/outdoor compact unit is simple to use and fully automatic.

Simply toss in all your food scraps and other compatible organic waste at any time, any day, up to 120 lbs per month! The unit mixes the waste every four hours until it is completely ground down into small particles. Then it is heated and aerated for 3-5 days for finishing before being dropped down into the bottom chamber. Don't worry about odors, because it's completely sealed, features continuous air flow, uses a powerful carbon filter and is made of antibacterial plastic.

I predict that automatic compact composters like this NatureMill Plus will be just as common in homes in the future as the recycle bin or garbage can. Just imagine how much food waste you have tossed in the garbage so far in your lifetime. Now multiply that by nearly every human on the planet - EVER! Scary. (via Michael Kiely)

Money to Burn - Fire Starters

Updated Jul 15, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

With gas prices finally getting as high as the bottled water in this country and no outrage, revolution or relief in sight, we apparently just have too much money to burn. If you don't feel you do, you could just pretend with the cool new Money to Burn - Fire Starters ($13).

Impress your friends as you light up fireplaces, campfires, backyard bonfires or alley garbage cans with wads of realistic rolled up hundred dollar bills. Unlike real cash, these faux benjamins are coated with a slow-burning wax that stay lit until your logs or kindling catch fire.

Actually, with the collapsing value of the Dollar lately, it might just be cheaper to use the real thing! (via Michael Kiely)

Towel Spa - Bathroom Towel Warmer

Updated Jul 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

With the cool new Towel Spa - Bathroom Towel Warmer ($80) you can quickly warm up towels, blankets, mittens, hats, socks, robes and more in less than five minutes. Instead of going to a luxury spa to get that pampered, post-shower, warm towel experience, you can simply place your towel inside this compact, convenient and portable warmer, close the lid and press the button. It's a nice alternative to the expensive rail warmers or having to streak through the house shivering, wet and nude all the way to the clothes dryer. Great for nurseries too. (via Michael Kiely)

Doggie Dining Table

Updated Jul 9, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If you're a dog, I guess it would be kind of uncomfortable to have to strain down and eat from a lowly bowl on the floor. Many vetrinarians recommend that dogs should eat from elevated bowls to reduce discomfort and help minimize bloating and gas, which is great for everyone. The luxuriously cool new Doggie Dining Table ($60) is the solution. This adjustable dinner tray designed just for dogs, keeps their food and water bowls up and off the floor and at a comfortable natural position. Just like your dining table or even better, this one is constructed of an elegant solid hardwood with a Chestnut finish and features a lip to keep two bowls firmly in place and rubber feet to keep it from moving around and causing floor damage. This is definitely going to make your cat jealous. (via Michael Kiely)

With up to 1600 Power magnification when used with its 4X digital zoom feature, this unique digital microsope is the perfect solution for investigating the fascinating miniscule details of the biologic world, but without all that squinting. Great for home or the classroom. (via Michael Kiely)

Little Snowie Shaved Ice Machine

Updated Jun 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I haven't had a snow cone in years, at least not since the last carnival came through town, but I still know that nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day. The Little Snowie Shaved Ice Machine ($299) is sure to bring back some memories from childhood as you can finally make all the snow cones you want right in your very own home. The Little Snowie Shaved Ice Machine transforms ordinary ice cubes into shaved ice instantly and includes everything you need like, 4 sets of flavor concentrates, ready-to-use syrups, pour spouts and dust caps. Now that we're all a bit older, I think a few afternoon margarita snow cones are in order. (via Michael Kiely)

Black Tissues from Japan

Updated Jun 23, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I never knew I needed facial tissues to be in any color other than white, until I saw these cool new Black Tissues from Japan ($149). Apparently, traditional white household items like paper towels, cotton swabs, toilet paper, toothpaste and more are now going dark in Japan. They feel that black has a "clean" feeling and shows casual luxury and sophistication. Fascinating as far as luxury tissues go, but unfortunately you'll need to purchase 20 boxes of tissues at a time. (via Michael Kiely)

Giant Entertainment Party Tent

Updated Jun 18, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It's the beginning of summer and there are bound to be backyard parties galore, from wedding and graduation parties, the Fourth of July and just for the fun of it. If you plan on throwing a huge outdoor blast too, you're going to need one of these incredibly cool new Giant Entertainment Party Tents ($350)!

It's not simply your average everyday outdoor tent or canopy, this is a full blown, massive, weather-resistant entertainment shelter for your yard. It can easily hold 25 standing people comfortably and is designed to allow plenty of cooling airflow. It's beyond everything your guests and the food will ever need as protection from nature's unpredicatable elements and those pesky attacking insect squadrons. If your yard has enough room, this is definitely the ultimate party solution. Plus, it should be fun to see the neighbors stare in sheer awe at a giant backyard teepee and a killer party they weren't invited to!

Personally, I just want one for camping, because if you're going to do something, do it right... and ridiculously huge! (via Michael Kiely)

Zadro Tranquil Sounds - Personal Oxygen Bar

Updated Jun 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I've never been to an oxygen bar before and I don't believe I've ever paid for inhaling air before, unless you count SCUBA-diving or something. I did a little research though and found that increasing your oxygen intake a bit may help with stress, headaches, hangovers, fatigue and other disorders. So if you're looking to improve your mood and calm your mind, the cool new Zadro Tranquil Sounds - Personal Oxygen Bar ($300) just might help. It's modeled after those very same oxygen bars found in resorts and spas and increases the concentration of oxygen you breath by 30%. Simply slip on the adjustable headset, relax and breathe in the oxygen for 10 to 30 minute sessions, while built-in speakers play up to four different soft musical patterns. It really sounds peaceful if anything, but remember I said this MAY help and I'm not a doctor on such things. (via Michael Kiely)
