Hangover Recovery Kit

April 20th, 2011 | 1 Comment » | by kristel

Not really effective as an actual hangover kit, this is the perfect gag gift for your favorite drunkard of a friend. Comes with a declarative bracelet that reads “HUNGOVER”, affirmation cards, healing bandages, a remedy booklet, a liver charm, and a recover certificate. Check it out here.

Wall Decal Chalkboard Calendar

April 20th, 2011 | No Comments » | by kristel

I thought this was a pretty cool idea. It’s a wall decal chalkboard calendar. You basically apply the decal directly to the wall and voila! Instant calendar. You can even purchase “chalk ink pens” so you don’t have to deal with the mess of regular chalk. Comes in a variety of sizes/colors/styles. I think a small version in white would look good on my bookshelf. Check it out here.

Happy Easter Killer Rabbits

April 20th, 2011 | No Comments » | by kristel

Nothing says “Happy Easter” quite like some killer rabbits from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Don’t worry, this little guy only appears to have sharp teeth. He’s all plush! At least I think he is. Wouldn’t you be thrilled (or terrified) to see him in your backyard hiding those Easter eggs? He’s only 6″ tall, so no need to be too scared. Check him out here.

CMYK Lamp Shade

April 20th, 2011 | No Comments » | by kristel

The lighting section in Ikea always overwhelms me. For some reason, I can tell if a lamp looks nice on the Ikea website (you know, when it’s in a room that’s been decorated professionally) but when I see rows and rows of lamps they all begin to look the same to me. I’ve had my eye on this CMYK Lamp Shade for quite some time now. I knew right away that it was awesome even without seeing it in a fully decorated room–which is saying something! Even better, it can be used as either a ceiling or upright lamp. It looks like it’s sold out right now, but you can have them contact you when there’s more in stock.
