Now I’m torn…I thought perhaps I had found the perfect watch (see previous posts), but look at this one! What to do?! It doesn’t have all the bells a whistles that some other watches have, but I think it completely makes up for all that in it’s simplicity.

There’s a saying in Texas, (actually, it’s more of a lame bumper sticker) that goes something like this: “Yes, this is my truck and no I won’t help you move.” I agree with the sentiment. Avoid helping anyone move by getting them this great Champagne Toolbox.

In order to fully appreciate this rug, you’ll just have to go to cb2’s website and zoom in really close. It has a contrasting aqua core (due to a “unique spinning process”, so it’s really a nice effect. And it looks like those feet of yours might like the feel of it as well.

You pull the cord and it turns on. You pull it again and it turns off. No switches necessary. I think it’d be real handy for closets or entry ways or anywhere I guess.

Wowsa, this is pricey, but I had to post it anyway. Imagine your signature, turned three dimensional and holding a nice bouquet.

Update: The original website no longer offers the Whiskas Cat Bed, but we did find a UK retailer. Please let us know if there is US retailer and we’ll add a link in.

If you have a cat, you probably know that it will just about sleep anywhere unless you try to get it to sleep somewhere else. But if for some reason you have a cat that is particularly cooperative with your suggestions, look at this little cat bed. I’ve seen it on a few sites for as much as $150, but if you order directly from London you can get it for drastically less. Via Uncrate.

So, Philippe Starck is everywhere nowadays, so if you aren’t particularly fond of him or of his designs, you’re just going to have to get used to it. Sorry. I thought this little table, an addition to the Bubble Club collection, is something to think about for your outdoor space (or even indoors if you want). It’s cute and not so ‘spensive.

So cute! You crack the egg open, add a little water, and before you know it you’ve got a little garden.
