These make me happy just by looking at them.
More than just a compelling color palette, these Wax Crayons surpass European specifications for toxicity and even adhere to the food provision ordinance, which is much stricter than the regulations for the toy industry. To achieve this level of quality, pure beeswax is combined with all-natural pigments to create pure color that can be used in all kinds of ways. Children will find the chunky shape ideal for coloring and drawing forms and shapes. More accomplished artists can explore layering color or etching using the enclosed scraper. Artisans can even experiment with melting the wax with an iron. The 25 hues are based on an extension of Goethe’s 12-part color circle, which represents the natural progression of the color spectrum. Made in Germany.Pure beeswax; pigment. Box: wood; Scraper: plastic. Box: H 4.5" W 9" D 1" $60.00, Buy it here. [posted by katie]

These woodblocks have some excellent graphics.
This multi-faceted piece turns the concept of traditional alphabet blocks on its head by featuring an array of multi-functional patterns and colors. Not just a set of wood blocks, but two puzzles, numbers and letters, too. A great gift for all ages. The Letters combine notNeutral's favorite vintage and contemporary fonts. They picked the most distinct letter forms for each letter on two of the block sides. Basic equations can be solved using the two tone graphic numbers. The Apples are a signature notNeutral pattern that create a fun puzzle. The last two sides are a combination of two Season pattern elements, the flora and fauna elements with the tree structure.12 wood blocks, Includes wood tray Each six-sided block is 1.75" x 1.75" $36.00, Buy it here.

This is a lovely sake pitcher with slight indentions for ease of use.
The simple idea behind the Pressure Sake Pitcher was to create a handle less pitcher. This is achieved by replacing the handle with two indentations that fit one's hand when grasping this object. The resulting design solution takes a functional form. Pressure Sake Pitcher can be paired with the Nub Sake Cups.Designed by: Masahiro Mori Material: Porcelain 5.25 "H $25.00, Buy it here.

These baskets run no risk of being ordinary; their architectural forms would look just as good empty as with something in them.

Clever interpretation...
Really simple and really well done the XO is a Tic Tac Toe game and yes, you might argue that there are a ton of them out there, but this one is special as it is played on a mirrored surface and the X and O are only half of what they should be. Why? Well, you are playing it on a mirror surface, hence no need for the other half.$40.00, Buy it here. [posted by katie]

I admit I know next to nothing about audio/stereo equipment. Other than the fact that the sound system I have sounds a whole lot better than just the built-in speakers that come with the TV or computer, if you asked me any other questions I'd be blank. But I do know a few proper audiophiles, and they think highly of tube amps. I'd be curious to see how it sounds compared to what the rest of us have...it certainly looks pretty nice.
About the size of a shoe box, the versatile and simple to use GLOW Amp One is a classic stereo tube amplifier - with a twist - every GLOW amplifier comes equipped with a USB input so you can use your computer, iPod, cd player or even television as a HI FI music source. Just add speakers, the results are amazing.11.5" (L) x 5.5" (W) x 6" (H). $488.00, Buy it here. [posted by katie]
