I’m always delighted with small, shiny, lucite-ish things, and the fact that this is a radio AND it gives off a glow, makes me think it’s a winner. Definitely qualifies as a nice safe gift that someone would appreciate…

“This unique radio emits a LED glow when turned on. Use the center button to turn the radio on or off and to find your FM station. Uses DC adaptor or 2 ‘AAA’ batteries.”

Dhurrie rugs (more of a flat, tight weave) are really quite durable and not nearly as expensive as most wool pile rugs. These have a nice pattern and would be an easy and affordable way to change the look of a living room or hallway.

“Durable, dhurrie weave in a modern, repeating pattern. Available in two color schemes that contrast solid chocolate with lively aqua or lime…Reversible with same design on both sides. Woven in wool/cotton. Bound on all four sides.”

(rug pad recommended)

3′ x 5′ – $98.00
5′ x 8′ – $198.00
8′ x 10′ – $398.00

Here are some elegant alternatives to the regular ol’ jewelry box/drawer organization trays. Take a look at the site to see all the different variations…all quite nice.

“Here is a sleek modular container system to hold your personal treasures. The boxes are made from matte black aluminum and come with lids. They can be used alone or with the optional wool felt inserts. The bottom of the box is covered with a tiny rubber dot pattern to protect surfaces. The boxes neatly stack on your desktop, and come with different printed wrappers so they are great for gift-giving.”

My ever evolving taste buds now require a stronger cup of Joe, so in my search for the perfect brew, I discovered what all the fuss over french press coffee was about…flavor. My big, clunky coffee maker now has a permanent home deep in a bottom cabinet, while this sleek beauty rests atop my counter taking up precious little space. There are many presses to choose from, but most are glass, which doesn’t keep your coffee hot for very long. This stainless steel press is double-walled for insulation, keeping it hot for hours. With no need for electricity, simple use and superior taste, I highly recommend a change in your morning routine.

Two sizes available:
Small press, 4-cup (20-fl.-oz.) $49.95
Large press, 8-cup (40-fl.-oz.) $64.95

This could work in so many rooms it’s not even funny.

“Bathroom? Hang your sponge or washcloth below. Bedroom? How ‘bout necklaces or belts or scarves. Foyer? Hang your keys, dog’s leash, cell phone, purse. ”

22.5w x 2d x 14.75h

Quite a clever design:

“The Ming Oil & Vinegar Set from Dutch design firm Jansen + Co. takes the classic form of the wine glass and turns it on its head, literally. We love it, and not just because it’s clever – the stem reduces the flow just the right amount, so it’s easy to measure as you pour. Ships in a stylish box and includes a funnel for easy filling, plus a cleaning brush.”

Dimensions: 3″ x 6.75″

A good price for a big mirror- shipping will vary based on where you live, but that’s true for everything I suppose.

“This refined and contemporary tall, rectangle mirror, leans against the wall to make a grand statement. With it’s thick wood border this mirror offers presence and style together. Made in Italy.”

31.5w x 71h.

Be oh-so clever with this literary leaning cutting board.

“The story behind this unique cutting board is that after cutting your meats or veggies it can be stored alongside your row of cookbooks – and, as a sequal, is ideal for use as a cheese board.”

Need a nice accent pillow? Maybe with black butterflies scattered about randomly?

“These clocks project a remarkably bright clock image, as large as 3 feet or more in diameter, on your wall or ceiling. The low voltage 25 watt lamp in the Microsweep, and the 50 watt lamp in the Maxisweep, are powered by an AC mains built-in electronic transformer with dimmer, so the image brightness can be adjusted to suit any mood. Features quartz battery-powered sweep clock movement.”

Available in three alternative clock faces: Micro, Micro 12 or Roman (see photo). MaxiCeiling also available.

I love this canister, designed by Sergio Asti in 1967.

This is a really respectable set of silverware. Proportioned nicely. Dishwasher-safe. Heavy-gauge, high-quality stainless steel with a satin finish. What more could you want?

20-Piece Set: four each of salad forks, dinner forks, knives, tablespoons and teaspoons.

Another version of this lamp with a price tag that’s not too painful.

Are we there yet? That’s how I feel from time to time when waiting for the magic hour when I’m allowed to leave work.

“This clock is characteristic of Tibor Kalman, one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, and his iconoclastic design firm. Clean graphics and dry humor merge in a high-quality product. The only numeral on this clock indicates the most important time of day: the end of the workday.”

Aluminum case and dial, mineral-glass crystal, German quartz movement. Battery is included.

I love the “cloud” and it was recently picked up by generate so I thought I’d post it again.

“Portable inflatable meeting room in white rip resistant nylon. Includes a silent fan which inflates the entire room in three minutes and keeps it inflated for as long as required. When not used, the cloud folds into its bag for easy storage.”
