Ergonomical Fire Extinguisher

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

One of man's first big accomplishments was figuring out how to make fire. Then he had to figure out how to put it out before burning the whole damn place down.

Here's a stylish way to keep some control.

from the Design Blog:
Sporting a simple, fuss-free form, the X Sting Wish couldn’t have got more user-friendly. Just like a gun, aim and pull the trigger. Tweaked with many firing dousing options like CO², water and powder, it also features in-built LEDs that can help to illuminate your way to the problem area.

Custom Etch-A-Sketch Using Your Own Picture

First to recommend

Description

This definitely fits into the "What to get the person who has everything" category.... I highly doubt they already own a custom Etch-a-Sketch portrait (unshakeable, by the way... because, well, it would be pretty dumb if it wasn't.)

Just submit your photo of choice and this creative Etsy artist will do the rest.

I think I might get one as a wedding present for someone....

World's Smallest Cards and Letters Sent via Real Mail!

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Oh wow, I really, really love this! Maybe it's because my daughters have always been mad about fairies, thus making "tiny little things" high on the favorites list. Or maybe it's because I would have absolutely LOVED to receive something so unusual in the mail when I was growing up... Whatever the case, check out the amazing things you can send courtesy of Leafcutter Designs. I'm thinking a letter from an elf is in our future at my house...

World's Smallest Postal Service



The World's Smallest Postal Service is a teeny tiny letter transcription service. It sets up shop in cafes and stores, and is now available online. Here's how it works: You write a letter (up to 6 sentences - see below) and I rewrite it onto tiny stationary (1 x 1.5 inches) with my microscopic ink pen. It then goes into a tiny envelope which gets addressed, stamped, and sealed with a tiny wax seal with your initial on it. The letter then goes into a see-through folded coin case and is packaged up with a magnifying glass in a larger glassine envelope, finished off with a large "World's Smallest Letter" wax seal. I can send your letter directly to a recipient of your choice, or to you if you would like to distribute it yourself. (PS: The more letters you buy, the less expensive each additional letter is because the shipping charge remains the same for the whole batch.) (via Cool Hunting)

Moose Mug

3 people recommended this item

Description

They're not cheap but they are HYSTERICAL! A great present for a true fan. Check out the separate link on the site for the punch bowl antlers AND Griswold hockey jersey.

From the site:
In the movie, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) drank eggnog from glass moose-shaped mugs (at Clark's house, during the Christmas holidays).

Through Warner Bros., we have determined that these glass mugs were "props" only (fashioned specifically for movie filming). Alas, the glass mugs were never produced for consumer use.

BUT...

Due to a demand for glass moose-shaped mugs, by tourists and movie buffs as well, we have designed our own glass vessels and
they are ready to go!!" (via thegreenhead)
