Love Toy Hearts Women's Light T-Shirt
1 recommendation
"Adorable. Do I need to say anything else? I'm thinking of getting one of these for my daughter. Because she has hearts just like this hanging in the threshold to her room. Again. Adorable."
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

"Well, have you? Good all-purpose shirt for when your relatives come by with a computer question. You might want to have one for each day of the week. Also leave this as the message on your answering machine. Honestly."
Voices Driving Crazy Light T-Shirt
1 recommendation
"You know, there are just some things a person should warn folks about right there on a t-shirt. Hearing voices? That's a good reason to warn folks. (Also, you know, a great gift for in-laws.)"
Henkel Duck 1.88-Inch-by-15-Yard Colored Duck Tape, Chrome #00-03365
1 recommendation
"At our house we use a lot of duct tape. Or rather, my son and I use a lot of duct tape. And, admittedly, sometimes it's just me using a lot of duct tape. My brand of choice is the Henkel "Duck" brand. It comes off the roll smoothly, rips easily (if you prefer a rip) and is as strong or stronger than you would expect duct tape to be, even on regular duct-type jobs (it's not just another pretty face..."
Your Best Face (YBF) Defend
2 recommendations
"I'm not usually into high end face care, but this product has made a believer out of me. YBF advertises Defend as a "powerful anti-aging skincare" that includes properties for "oil control, premium protection, adn synergesitic anti-aging". I have no idea if it does all of those things, but it makes my skin look and feel wonderful. After using it for a week I noticed that my skin appears dram..."
La Vaque Pointed Tip Tweezers
12 recommendations
"I know, your mother told you to keep pointed objects away from your eyes but these tweezers are extremely accurate and able to get at those fine hairs. Best part is that these come with a lifetime guarantee. You break 'em! You dull 'em! They replace 'em! Just ship the tweezers back and they will send you a new pair."
TerraCycle 8" Urban Art Pot
4 recommendations
"These cool pots are made of recycled computers and fax machines! I really like the high gloss look and color (slightly darker on bottom, gradually lighter towards the top). They are the thickness of terracotta, but not quite as heavy. Add a pop of color inside with these! I like the green and pink/fuschia colors (but couldn't find a picture of them) :)"
iPhone Defender Series Strength Case from OtterBox
5 recommendations
"I recently got to try this out and I must say that my iPhone has never been cleaner. There were a few faults. It is really big and bulky and at times a little hard to hear. Otherwise I loved it and it kept clumsy me from breaking my iPhone."

"It's a cornucopia of keys. Organ, synth and keytars (and hey, if you remember what that is, hats off to you!) This bright blue shirt is perfect for the music geek or wannabe music geek in your life. I know I can think of several people I want to give it to!"

"A classic. At 5.5" x 3.5", you can take this notebook everywhere. Also available with plain blank pages, or with high-quality blank pages for sketching. A great stocking stuffer for the writer, artist, note-taker . . . for almost anyone on your list!"
Beetlejuice (1988)
8 recommendations
"A couple of recently deceased ghosts contract the services of a "bio-exorcist" in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of their house. The casting is absolutely perfect, especially wonderfully macabre but good-hearted Winona Ryder and obnoxious and slimy Michael Keaton. The film is an absolute must-see!!"
Clarins UV Plus SPF 40
8 recommendations
"Not cheap but it goes on like silk and great under make up, not like regular sunscreen"
Mia Floor Pillow
3 recommendations
"Patchwork pillows like these can really bring a space together. Orange and blue is one of my favorite combinations- it's fresh and light and just right for summer. The variety of blues give you a lot of leeway for incorporating pieces you already own."

"I have to confess---this is my book. So naturally I think it's a good book but so do a lot of other moms (and dads). It's my guide for surviving the dangerous waters of elementary school for parents. Perfect guide for back to school or anytime you feel like you need a dose of sanity."
Naturalizer Hoffman

"Bought these shoes to wear to an outdoor wedding, but I think I'll be wearing them a lot this summer. They're comfortable and the wedge heel is perfect for walking on grass and gravel."
Wrought Iron Crystal Chandelier
1 recommendation
"The sparkle of crystal combines with the gravitas of wrought iron to make a chandelier that's both masculine and feminine, traditional yet not out of place in a modern setting."
db clay | designer wallet
1 recommendation
"Wallets with a kick! Printed with off-the-wall conceptual designs, DB Clay puts something artsy into the everyday money-holder. The first thing that strikes me is the packaging - boxed up neatly (great for gift-giving!) and wrapped in sleek vellum paper, the box proclaims "When we think, empires fall." The package also includes a card that tells you more about your wallet's unique design - in..."
db clay wallet - portland
3 recommendations
"This is the most exquisite wallet! I have never gotten complements on my wallet before, but I have already gotten a few on this beauty. I was in line at Starbucks, and the Barista commented on how cute this was and wanted to know where she could get one. I also got a compliment when I was checking out at Express. As if that weren't enough not only is it beautiful and practical, it is good for t..."
db clay designer wallet- Broadway
1 recommendation
"My "Broadway" wallet always turns heads when I pull it out. Could it be the sea of trance-like mannequin heads, or the fact that I am picking up the tab?"
