Hog My Corn

With 4th of July just around the corner, it's that time of year where we break out our best barbecue gear. Cute plastic-wear organizers, misting hand fans and of course dreaded apron that proudly display something like "Nobody Touches My Grill!" with a stereotypical caricature of a rapper's gold teeth smile. Oy vey.

With all this great summery "stuff" on the shelves of every Wal-Mart in America, I decided to look elsewhere for something to spice up my outdoor festivities...what I found are these adorable corn on the cob holders! Pigs, dogs, cows...smack their head and butt on a cob o' corn and you'll add humor to your meal without offending women, other races or even vegetarians. God Bless America!

Homemade Delight

As summer approaches, we will all inevitably reach for something cold and refreshing. How about a homemade ice cream sandwich?

Tovolo Ice Cream Sandwich Mold could be the perfect solution for a day too hot to spend outside. While these things always look easier than they ever are, I am thinking, "I could actually do this." Seems pretty straight forward from the online directions. I just might be able to pull off making scrumptious desserts combining my two favorite sweets...cookies & ice cream!

Gardenista

When searching for that perfect housewarming gift, how about a Plant-Me-Pet?

They're the weirdest looking things, but when you learn that their bodies are made of natural latex, eyes of seeds and they squeak...it'll make you want to shove one in some dirt. With just $20 and a little soil, a few months later...you'll have a pumpkin, tomato or a melon plant! Cool.

Penguins Are So In

This past holiday season while shopping for wrapping paper, I over heard a guy tell his girlfriend, "get the penguin paper...penguins are so in."

Right he was, so in light of "March of the Penguins," "Happy Feet" and penguin wrapping paper, I thought this Samsonite backpack was the perfect way to fit the trend. Chic and stylish, but still absolutely adorable.

Buy it for your little one here.

Eclectic Shopping

Velocity Art and Design is an amazing website out of Seattle that offers unique trinkets and uncommon pieces of art. Miniature disaster building replicas to owl inspired throw pillows, this site is a one stop shop for that totally far out item.
