Respire - The Magnetic Asthma Inhaler Case

Updated Aug 7, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

if you or someone you love has asthma, you are always having to carry an inhaler or two. and they get CRUMBS in them & sticky stuff & it's a royal pain.

THIS IS THE incredibly chic and suave solution to your problem --

this nifty case is shiny & holds your inhaler perfectly; it snaps together magnetically and its smooth shape will mean it is INSTANTLYfindable in your bag.

i just got one and the inventor/creator is working on US distribution, but for the moment you may order them from his UK site,

a must-have for those of us affected with cranky lungs. (via guy thornhill)

pleasing Lina Leather Folding Chair

Updated Jul 13, 2007

Description

this is SO much nicer than those ugly plastic chairs (although this site has some pretty nice ones, italian i think) and the ho-hum "seen 'em before" directors' chairs -- this a) comes in suave colours and b) folds and c) is leather.

for those of us living in the veryvery small spaces, these are perfect.

i'll take four.

Free Business Cards

Updated Jan 15, 2007

Description

i have made at least fifteen sets of these for friends, and four or more for me -- you can pay a little extra to not have the logo on the back, or wait for their promotions, which run continuously and copiously.

they also offer: notepads, note cards, self-inking stamps, fridge magnets (of your business card & a calendar, cool!), stationery, address labels -- the line keeps expanding.

if you tweak their designs or upload yours you can make extremely nice personalised gifts for pals --

pay the $9 for faster shipping, or $5.25 for the slow shipping; these are an amazing deal.
