These wooden log pillows are perfect for beavers, cuddling humans and cuddling beaver-human hybrids alike. The design of the pillow imitates stubs of the cottonwood tree chewed down by our wood-loving friend, the beaver. Even better, they totally go with your natural pillow motif.

The wooden graphics are physically knitted, rather than printed, giving each pillow a little custom touch. Each pillow retails at Etsy for $69 on sale, down from $82.

Everybody knows that the Grizzly is the most cuddly of bears. Just if they weren’t such assholes. Instead of heading out in to the wild and searching for a real Grizzly Bear to cuddle up with (even though you’ve got one right here baby, rawr), the Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag is not only safer, but might even be a little bit cuddlier.

And it definitely has less teeth then your genitals. Or does it? Buh dum tsh.

This has got to be one of the coolest themed couches ever created. Montanara by Gaetano Pesce creates the illusion of a mountain scene right in your living room, including cushion waterfalls and jagged support peaks of doom.

The picturesque couch makes you feel larger than life as you use nature’s largest objects as your personal lounging tool. Just watch where you sit. Those pine trees can be a bitch. See more after the jumptastic jump.

Photoshop has this neat little tool which allows you to grab a selected color from pretty much any image you want. Does that photo of an apple have that perfect red you’ve been looking for? The Color Picker by Jinsun Park allows you to grab any color, from any source, at any time and draw with that selected color, using a special hybrid of RGB ink.

Saving the planet and Star Wars. What more could a geek want? Other than a Lucy Liu sex-bot, of course. The Jedi were always the ones that came off as the treehugger type. Darth and the rest of the dark side didn’t have much consideration for natural beauty. Perhaps never more evident than when he blows up Princess Leia’s beautiful home planet of Alderaan just because he felt like it.

When will the Galactic Empire learn that nature will always survive, no matter how many Death Stars you build. Are you green Jedi and proud of it? These Green Star Wars Tees from Zazzle are surely right up your alley if you’ve ever been a fan of the Star Wars universe. Admiral Ackbar would be proud.

A bathmat is normally the most boring item that comes to mind when thinking of items inside a house. Such is not the case with this bathmat, which is made up of 70 pieces of moss. Yes, the kind that you find on trees in forests. It apparently feels great, doesn’t smell or mold up and grows from your bathwater. Pretty unique. The design was thought up from Swiss designer Nguyen La Chanh, who calls it “a relaxing mat that needs a little care.”

I’d care to have one. Quite the conversation piece, don’tcha think?

Sky Factory’s new programmable “SkyCeilings” is just what introverts need to raise their Sims “room” stat. In an effort to make surroundings either at home or at the work place aesthetically pleasing, Sky Factory’s ceiling creates an illusion of nature by introducing changes of light and color; all in real-time as if it actually were to simulate the local rising and setting of the sun.

I live in a room with no windows. I haven’t seen the sun in seven years.  This is exactly the healing tool I need to enhance my physiology and well-being.  Ah fuck it, I love looking like Liz Taylor.

How often do city dwellers get the chance to see a wonder of nature such as the waterfall? Not often enough. I live about 45 minutes from NYC, and I can tell you first hand that the city is magical. It has mostly everything someone could want, and then some. While Central Park provides tourists with a dose of greenery, there is something missing in the water department that can’t be solved by the surrounding Hudson River.

New York’s Public Art Fund has launched a product which will change the landscape of the city from July to October this year. They’ll be installing man-made waterfalls in three locations around the city; lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and on the north shore of Governors Island. These installations will include 90 to 120-feet tall cascading falls and will operate from 7 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week, lit after sunset for an even more impressive and beautiful effect.

There have been some interesting attempts in the past to replicate RPG’s to push a certain idea. WolfQuest, a PC game designed by the good people at Minnesota Zoo, allows you to act out the part of a wolf, roaming Yellowstone Park for meat and other wolf needs. Perhaps a mate?

The first episode, called “Amethyst Mountain” is aimed at grabbing the minds of 10-15 year olds back to nature. “We’re hoping to capture some of those kids back with this game,” says a spokesman from Minnesota Zoo, who claims that many members of the younger generation have stopped interacting with nature because of, well, video games. So, if you can’t beat them, join them? The game is available free from the WolfQuest site. — Andrew Dobrow
