I just about flipped when I saw that these are now available in the US.

3 lovely divider sets, always front and back shaped either like a Giraffe, a Deer or a little Piggy. Just slide them between your books and within an instant it looks as if the little guys are peeping out of or disappearing into, your books...

You better get while the gettin's good; this reusable tree is only available in limited quantities.

Twenty-five years ago, architect Richard Babcock had an idea: Rather than buying, hauling and disposing of a Christmas tree every year, why not create a tree his family could use year after year? The six-foot wooden tree he created back then is still used by his family today. The PossibiliTree shown here is a tabletop version, standing almost three feet tall, with branches that can be fanned out in various ways...Whether you use PossibiliTree to celebrate Christmas, another occasion or just to enjoy the artful simplicity of its design, when the festivities are complete, the tree is easily disassembled. The pieces can be stored in the original packaging - a tube, similar to the ones used by architects to hold drawings. Simple assembly required. Made in U.S.A.

Materials: Metal; walnut.
H 34.5" Diameter 28"
(*Limited Availability*)
$360.00, Buy it here.

Similar to the Light Bulb Candle posted before, this set by Harry Allen has a bit more detail and you get two, so that seems like a good bet.

100% cast wax
Available in white and gray wax.

I love these Code baskets by Ola Wihlborg; the larger size would be perfect for wood storage (as shown). (Too bad it's not more affordable or I would say it'd be the best freaking laundry basket out there.)

material: lacquered steel

size: 16.5" x 12", $ 510.00, Buy it here.

(these seem to be the medium and small, search of larger size continues)
