About this list:
Did you know you can buy this stuff at Amazon.com? Well, you can (for now). Because that's where I found it (I admit to being a bit of an Amazon.com bird dog... I sniff things out and say, "look, a duck"). Enjoy.
Qualifications:
Bird Dog
Superman Shorts Pajamas with detachable cape
First to recommend
Description
I know Superman isn't exactly the most fashionable super right now, but if you've got a toddler who likes to jump from the furniture, you might just have to have one of these. It offers special protection from injury. I just know it does. Somehow.
Maybe it's psychological. But no matter.
Gimme some o' them Superman pajamas. They are truly and forever awesome.

Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device

Description
Great product for reading all sorts of digital media. Love that you can download books and data wirelessly. The screen is great on your eyes and causes no eye fatigue.

The Last Apprentice: Attack of the Fiend
First to recommend
Description
All of The Last Apprentice books are fabulous, and they become fabulouser when you read them aloud, and they become most fabulousnest when you read them aloud to your kids (if they are old enough not to be utterly freaked out). Attack of the Fiend brings the devil back to the world of the living... so watch out. Read the rest of 'em too, darn it. They are just extremely well written and the stories told hold together in a way that is unusual for any books, but even more so in books written with younger folks in mind.

PAVINA Double Wall Espresso / Shot Glass
4 people recommended this item
Description
We use these for our espresso shots, and they are so lovely to see the espresso pouring into that, well, I don't know if I'll ever use a different set of glasses for this purpose... it's almost as if the espresso and crema are levitating within the glass... as if they are even more magical than they otherwise would be, which, of course, they are.
Oh no. I've just convinced myself that I need another espresso shot right this second.
Bizy Backson. With blessings.

Communication Arts
First to recommend
Description
One of the designer's "Must Have" magazines. Even if you hate/despise/loathe everything between its covers, you still have to have it so that you will know what not to do, so you won't hate/despise/loathe the work that you do. Though how you could hate/despise/loathe what goes on in Communication Arts is beyond me. Very pro. Very tasty. Eat 'em up.

Umbra Conceal Bookshelf

Description
I didn't "get" this bookshelf until I actually saw the video of it in action. There is actually a second, tiny ledge that holds the cover up so the illusion works. (via Conceal Bookshelf Video)

Schwinn 500CD Electric Scooter
First to recommend
Description
Yesterday I'm walking along downtown Spokane minding my own business, and I see a guy, maybe sixty years old, cruising along on his brand new Schwinn 500CD, and I almost stopped him and congratulated him on his extra-hip-and-grooviness, but I didn't, because I was late already, and just kept walking, but then today here I am in another part of town altogether and what do I see but a twenty-something son-of-a-gun on the same darn model scoot-of-fabulousness and I'm thinking, "if two people can be seen in Spokane in two days riding the same model scooter, then damn, these things are very nearly mainstream."
Expect one running over your toes in the very near future. They're kind of groovy.

MAJIC 00425 8-0042 LATEX FLAT BARN AND FENCE PAINT RED
First to recommend
Description
I have no actual evidence of this actually happening, but I just have a feeling that inexpensive, high-cover, simple-color (red) barn paint is going to be the thing to use, very soon. On houses. On barns. On garages. On your dog.
Please don't use it on your dog.
Again, I've no reason to actually think it's actually going to happen... except my own gut, which says, when passing the big five gallon bucket at the farm supply store "hey, cool, barn paint!"
Remember, I'm a maven. That means you WANT TO DO WHAT I SAY.
Carry on.

Transcend 16GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD CLASS 6) with Compact Card Reader
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
With this handy little card, you get 16 gigabytes of storage, along with easy access to it with a tiny card reader, making it just as fabulous (if not more so) as a 16 gig thumb drive (okay, more so, because you can't plug your thumb drive into your DSLR, right? Right.)

The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, Book 6)
First to recommend
Description
Have you been keeping up with Artemis Fowl? These are terrific books to read... especially to read aloud. And if you've read any of them, you'll likely want to pick up The Time Paradox. It looks to me to be one of the best (they just keep getting better, darn it).

Did I say "Designed by Apple in California"? I think that's all I have to say.

Pretty Good Music. Do you really need more of an explanation than that?
