Mobilhome Phone Storage Unit

Mobilhome Phone Storage Unit
Let's be clear, some of us need a phone storage unit like this, and others of us don't. However, all of us would most likely benefit from the idea behind this particular wool felt pocket thingamajig. It serves as a reminder to leave your phone at the door, which hopefully means more time to visit and talk to your family (you know, those people you live with). Maybe put the...Read more

Vapur Anti-Bottle

Vapur Anti-Bottle
No more whining about carrying around a big, clunky water bottle, because you could have a Vapur Anti-Bottle. It's freezable, attachable, and sustainable. It lays completely flat when empty, and you can fold it up for storage. I don't know about you, but I think it looks a lot better than any plastic bottle out there. Need filtration? Try the MicroFilter Bottle Set. Need something for your magic juice? There's...Read more

Patina Bottle Opener

Patina Bottle Opener
A beautiful bottle opener? In this case, it's true. Cofield's bottle openers are solid brass with three available patina finishes. A polished edge sets off the patina nicely, and somewhat gives an illusion of inset stone. Now, the hard part will be deciding which patina you prefer- do you like the Polychrome, Turquoise, or Black best? Be sure to take a look at Cofield's Brass Clocks too, which have the...Read more

And, yes, you could plonk down $130 for the Zeiss VR ONE Plus Headset or $40-$60 on the many other options, but maybe you'd rather spend $15 just to see what all the fuss is about. These paper Virtual Reality Glasses are easy to...Read more
