The great thing about this style of duvet is if you beat it up a bit (hello, kids? dogs?) the pin tucks make it harder to see normal wear and tear. This luxurious shape looks great mashed up at the end of the bed or per...more

Magic Hand Grabbing Toy Bank

"Straight from the 1960s, this battery operated wonder is a delight for all. Just place a coin in the slot and a great THING happens. The box trembles and a hand reaches out and grabs the coin!"
Minoru 3D Webcam
1 recommendation
"Yes, that's right a Webcam that records in 3D. Minoru actually has two cameras, spaced about this distance of eyes. It records/captures out of each camera (I'm assuming in specific colors). The playback for the person watching you is then in 3D if they're wearing the glasses that come with the cam. It's a long way from being all that practical. However, it's still completely awesome."
Phantom Keystroker V2
2 recommendations
"This is the greatest office prank, especially if someone's got a computer where the USB port is not evident right away. It will seem as if there is a ghost on their computer... toggling the caps lock or typing random keys. Just avoid doing this on your boss' computer before a big presentation."
Jadeite glasses

"Gorgeous, gorgeous. These are made by a company that's been making jadeite for so long... Nothing feels like jadeite. I love the way it goes with almost any color dishware, and feels feminine without your BF hating to use it!"
Bizarro Glasses
1 recommendation
"Is it me or do these make this kid look like some sort of pseudo human ET? ...not that that's a bad thing. That's actually what these are designed to do, make you look weird, absurd, almost normal, but completely unrecognizable."
Hollow Spy Coins
5 recommendations
"How cool is this. Back in the cold war era people actually had to tote files and pictures around (instead of sending them over the internet). If your item was of an espionage variety, you could stuff it into a hollow coin - one that looked perfectly normal from the outside. Poison, microfilm and codes were all toted around in these things. You can order hollowed out coins from this company. Use..."

Black Sand For Displays
2 recommendations
"I love black sand. I have it in my house, complete with some votive candles, tucked into a square vase with seashells from my home town beach, Ocean City maryland. I cheated, and added a few really nice TEENY starfish from a local store there, but it looks so awesome. :)"

M&M'S: M&M'S MINIS
1 recommendation
"Don't skimp on the Halloween candy. You'll feel better when the kids come knocking. And never underestimate the "trick" potential of trick-or-treating. Avoid the possibility of a messy clean-up of TP, eggs, Silly String or worse on November 1 by investing in some substantial treats. I always appreciated those people who were forward-thinking enough to give out M&M's . . . and now they come in..."

Six Cubby Wall Storage Unit

"Only do the espresso color, here, guys. This thing is a thing of beauty to me. Frankly, it could work its way right through every phase of your (or your kids') life... The drawers on the bottom anchor the shape of this in such a great proportion, allowing the symmetry of the baskets and boxes to gracefully climb up to the fun stuff up top... This functions for a child's room, a teen's room,..."
Porthole Mirror
1 recommendation
"Using a porthole mirror is a fun way to play with your guests walking through your home. I love to hang them at eye-height, so your guests will make eye contact with themselves as a part of their journey through your home. Even more fun is to tuck one into a wall hanging of photos and artwork. It's very intriguing to most people to "see themselves" as a part of your art landscape. I did this ..."

"These sheets are on my bed as we speak. This image does little justice to the gorgeous olive green sheets, smooth and soft, that welcome my tired little spirit back to bed.

At $79 for Queen, $99 for King, these amazing BBB ..."

Leblon small coffee table from Environment

"I love these. Part pedestal, part small coffee table. They work really well in pairs and both color ranges are beauuuutiful in person.

We stood a Nautilus shell on this, a very natural pedestal and display for a gorgeous piece of oceanic history... Plus, the wood..."
