        <![CDATA[Plastic heat-shrink tubing makes each of these seemingly delicate vases flexible. 
<br /><br />
<blockquote>
The skin series vases are made of a heat sensitive plastic that when in contact with temperatures above 250 degrees will shrink in size. At first glance the vases appear to be made of a thin fragile porcelain, however once the vase is picked up it&#8217;s found to be soft and flexible. Because each vase is hand made and produced individually no two are exactly alike, however they all retain similar characteristics allowing the size and style of any vase to fit in with all the others.</blockquote>

By the same designer of the 
<a href="http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/2008/07/mirave_miru_mirror.html" target="_blank">Mirave & Miru Mirrors</a>, these crazy miniature chairs are covered with soft animals, or to be more precise, crabs (crustaceans) and manta rays (vertebrata). While altogether bemusing, it's odd that it should only be used for decorative purposes...I'd like to see how someone would instruct a kid to 'see and not touch' one of these. That being said, of course I can see how these chairs would be solely an objet d'art for a collector.

The faceted surface of these lights are pretty eye catching. I'd say they look a tad more expensive than they are as well.

Both 26" height and 35" height lamps have a 6" square base<br />

<br /><br />
<blockquote>
The FF [Light Brick] gives off a warm glow in your room. The brick conveniently stores the heat energy and radiates it even one hour after the light is turned off. Separate the two elements and use the brick as a bed warmer! The lamp comes with a 2 meter long black textile cable with fitting, switch and plug. The brick is fitted with a felt underlay.</blockquote>

        <![CDATA[This is an excellent improvement on measuring cups and the price seems entirely reasonable. 
<br /><br />
<blockquote>
Made of translucent silicone, these nested measuring cups allow you to form a spout anywhere along the flexible rims for precise pouring. The textured surfaces provide a secure grip, and two clear measurement windows allow you to view the contents. The large size may also be used as a mixing bowl. Microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Set of three. Capacity: one, two, and four cups.</blockquote>

        <![CDATA[
If I had a yard full of grass, I'd totally buy a push reel mower. 
<br /><br />
<blockquote>The Scott's classic reel mower is light, maneuverable, and economical. The business end of this push reel mower is solid, sharp, and everything a reel mower should be, with five heat-treated, knife-sharp steel blades that can be adjusted for nine grass heights with very easy wheel tabs. With its 10-inch wheels, radial tires, and 20-inch cutting width, this mower should enable you to cross whatever terrain and reach whatever hard-to-access rogue patches of grass you desire. There's no soft cushion on the handle, which is too bad, but otherwise, the Scotts Classic is a durable, well-constructed, simple device.</blockquote>
<ul>
	<li>20-inch reel mower with 10-inch dual tracking wheels and rugged radial tires</li>
	<li>9 grass heights to choose from (1-3 inches) controlled by quick-snap height adjusters</li>
	<li>5 heat-treated, steel blades;</li>
	<li>Includes mower, handle, composite wheels</li>
	<li>2-year warranty</li>
</ul>

For anyone who's dropped a screw or nail while at the top of a ladder, this magnetic wristband is a dream come true. Sure, it's a little bulky, but you'll be wearing it for various ladder-climbing chores, not a fashion show. 
<br /><br />
<blockquote>If you&#8217;re tired of holding nails in your mouth and waste entirely too much energy climbing up and down ladders to retrieve fallen screws...then Handyman&#8217;s Helper is for you. The ridiculously strong magnet in this &#8220;magwear&#8221; holds onto hardware, small tools and other metallic objects&#133;it&#8217;s so strong you can actually pile the hardware on in layers. Perfect for working on ladders, in crawlspaces, hanging pictures, under cars, or in any situation where you don&#8217;t want to loose your stuff. Velcro strap can accommodate even the thickest of wrists. Available in Coral Red, Sage Green, Construction Site Yellow, Perwinkle Blue and Grey. Comes packaged in a decorative box for easy gift giving. Magnetic area is 3" x 4" square; 3/4" deep.</blockquote>
