Prepare yourself for some oddity in the drinkware department, for the Porcelain Jug from the collection by Aldo Bakker for Particles is one strange beast of a receptacle. When full, the jug balances on its backside for easy pouring; when empty, it prefers to be flipped downwards, so that its opening may cover a cup. As you were warned, it's a little strange, but also sort of wonderful in its...Read more

An old, fraying beach towel doesn't help you look any better, so why not upgrade to one of these smack-you-in-the-face-with-pattern towels by Cristian Zuzunaga?

You know the problem. All those charging cords and not enough outlets. It leads to a genuine mess, if not full-on fighting over who gets to power their device first. That's where the Portiko comes in, and it'll at least help a little if it doesn't solve the whole issue outright. It's a 6-foot extension cord with two outlets and two USB ports, so you can pretty much think of...Read more

Did you think the Stick-Up Sticks were coathooks? I did, and I don't think I'm disappointed to find out that they're magnets instead. Where will you put them?

Hooray! Those of us still struggling to keep houseplants alive now have a savior: the Tableau by Pikaplant. The Tableau incorporates a water reservoir so that our plants can drink when needed- even we're away on a vacation (or just incredibly forgetful).

Did you have a nice Memorial Day Weekend? Now that summer is unofficially here, perhaps we should discuss hammocks. Yea or nay? I believe the correct answer is 'yea'- though if you voted 'nay' it's probably due to the fact that most hammocks aren't the most aesthetically pleasing things. However, Yellow Leaf Hammocks have several that look entirely decent, and you'll probably even grow to love the stripes (colorful or...Read more
