Based on the design of a sand castle-building sand bucket, the Sand Castle Stool is a lightweight seating alternative, perfect for both pretending you are a very tiny person lounging on the beach and/or building a really, really large sand castle. Measuring 290 x 400 mm, this stool, if necessary, could produce some major sand bricks. The designers are currently ...

It’s a common sight at weddings and large family gatherings. The men of the family often dance with one of the younger girls of the family, often times, their own daughter or granddaughter. The girl, being so short, must stand on the man’s feet to keep up with the dance. These Dance Shoes were designed for the classic father / ...

Thank God this Twitter Bird Logo Pillow doesn’t beep or blink whenever a new tweet is posted, because you’d never sleep. This custom made pillow features the now iconic Twitter bird. I’m still waiting on a Fail Whale pillow. It actually works out pretty nicely. The RSS Pillow symbolizes one half of my internet life, my research side, while the ...

Look, I’m not what you might call a hipster, unless sitting around in your pajamas all day is considered hip these days. But I do like to get a little flashy when I get all dolled up to go out.

I’m confident that this chart was designed by some of the finest marine biologists alive today. ...

Ranking near the top of my “shit I didn’t know i wanted, but now need” list is an awesome Steampunk-style Lightsaber currently being auctioned off on eBay. The metal-constructed saber was constructed by a prop professional, so the quality is likely very high. With a Buy It Now price of $124.99, the Steampunk Lightsaber is actually really reasonable. Finally, a ...

This reminds me of the calm serial killer, who after viciously murdering a family, sits down for a refreshing cup of tea. The Blood-Splattered Coffee Set is very Bates Motel-ish. While it seems like a must for those of you into the seedier side of horror, the price tag is steep. You’ll have to shell out $500 for this 15-piece ...

How old school do you like it? Project Nomad takes you WAAAAYYYY back. Back to the days when going out to get a steak was more complicated than just stepping out to your nearest grocery store.

Remember when Bush number one was president, the dust from the fallen Berlin wall had barely settled and a little handheld gadget named Game Boy ruled supreme? The Game Boy iPhone Pouch takes me back to the days of laying in bed for hours, trying to beat my own high score of Tetris. I’ve been one of those bare back ...
