A fun, bright red wooden knob lets you pull up the cup's contents, splaying them out for easy selection from even the most cluttered and overfilled desk cup. Glass, stainless steel and resin. $30."

Itch from Square Cat Habitat
2 recommendations
"Now that's a scratching post! How utterly cool and slick looking. It might look a little odd to hang these at kitty height, but maybe a row of them vertically (and then you could swap them out to kitty's delight). Or arrange them over a table that she loves to lounge on. Such a nifty design."

Magnetic Dumbbells

"At approximately 2.2 lbs each these dumbbells are a sculpture all on their own. They are very highly polished and the absolute last thing anyone would take as work out equipment. How nice would it be to leave your weights lying around and only get complimented on it? Made by Menu and available as soon as May 2008."

Plasma car for toddlers

I think they enjoy the feelings of mastery, motion, and physical control the Plasma car provides them. All in all, highly recommended as a toy that engages both a toddler's body and mind."
