If you're in the market for some sharp looking planters, take a look at these stainless steel ones by Shift Design. The window box is available in a 24" or 30" width, while the two tiered Cedar Herb Garden is perfect for (you guessed it) herbs. And, if you want to go all out and cover a wall with plants in stainless steel, there's a living wall unit that you...Read more

No, that cord is not photoshopped in the image above. It's an xlSync Cable from CableJive. Measuring 6.5 feet (2 meters) long, it's the (much) longer sibling to the super short iStubz. So, you can charge your iPad while using it on the sofa, talk on your iPhone while it's plugged into your computer, or maybe just utilize a plug that's farther away than a normal cable can reach. CableJive...Read more

This is one of those products that seem insignificant at first glance, then the actual benefits of of daily use start to make sense. It's a shoe horn, which yes, is unexciting and boring, even though it does extend the life of your shoes (which saves you money). However, it's a long shoe horn, which means it's easier to use. It also has a magnetic wall stand that gives it...Read more

Oh, here's another overseas item that's just too interesting to pass up. No worries, though as it is available to buy (also through PayPal, if you like). What is it exactly? A pattern sheet, obviously, that you can use to hammer out a pattern in nails on your wall. Connect the dots with string and remove pattern to see an altogether different “Masterpiece”. To buy, just click on 'voeg toe...Read more

Take a look at the pricing on these wine bottle pendants, not bad for a pop of color, eh? I bet they'd look lovely in a clustered together above a small dining table. (Also, the product description doesn't state whether the bottles come from a recycling facility, so I'm guessing they don't.) Custom crafted in the Meyda Hot Shop in the USA. Available in various colors, the glass can have...Read more

I don't like featuring too many sale items all within a few days, but there are some finds that just have to be shared. So, bear with me... This Code Rug is only $50-$100 off its regular price, but, considering it's 100% tufted wool and you can get an 8x10 for $499.00, it's a steal. My living room rug (Mikado) is in need of a changeout badly (note: a cream/off-white...Read more

Chances are that if you need a charging station you have one already, but if by some chance you don't, this one has a nice handcrafted quality worth checking out. It's from a shop in Estonia (yes, Estonia), so if you must have it, be prepared for possibly higher shipping costs and replacing the plug/power cord. Also, it has to be said if you're handy DIYer, you could probably come...Read more

Update: Originally $495 from MoMA, this stool is now on sale for $299.95 ($269.95 for members). While it could be said that the price is rather dear for a simple stool, the colors are delightful, and the added 'handle' does add a playful sort of functionality. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the stool is actually covered in felt, which gives it that soft surface look and feel....Read more

Whoa. I don't know about you, but my kitchen drawer could use needs something like this. Currently I have the basic utensil organizers that are available everywhere, but they don't fit like this custom one; they don't even come close. Entrepreneur Keith Nielson created this system of modular sheets and dividers that you can trim and reposition specifically to your needs. Each set comes with one BaseMat (food-grade silicone) and...Read more

I'm a little remiss in posting this after the official launch, but as the saying goes, better late than never. Poppin is a new online shop offering great office supplies for pretty decent prices. I've had them bookmarked for weeks and now it seems all their products are available to purchase (their website is still in beta, though, so be kind). Whether you'd like an overhaul of your desk supplies...Read more
