Boxy Chairs With Spaces

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 01:57 AM PST

It's always the recliners and sofas that take away the credit of being innovative in design. Footrests and tables all included! So the Puppo comes as a refreshing change coz it's a simple chair that you could keep in your dorm (occupies less space), yet gloat that it's a decent recliner with its footrest and storage-box-space! Just tinker a bit with it’s mechanics.

Haoshi X Rings Review

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 01:16 AM PST

I’m a sucker for unique things and the Haoshi X Rings more than satisfy my wanton needs. I love the Animal Series of rings made of resin set in sterling silver. They’re eye catching, high quality, beautifully designed and unisex. My only regret is not knowing about them sooner to include in our DO WANT! Gift Guide but who needs a holiday to shop! At $75 a ring with 10 animals to choose from – I say go treat yourself and buy one!

What we loved:

  • Beautiful carved resin set in sterling silver
  • 1 year warranty
  • unisex style

What could be improved:

  • More animals please!

The BODUM BISTRO Flatbed Toaster features a flat heating surface – similar to a grill – that allows users to toast larger slices or loaves of bread, croissants, bagels and other baked goods. Simply place the bread on the grating above the heating surface to toast one side at a time – and, at any point during the toasting process, the user can remove the bread.

Mmm, can’t you taste the yummy things you’ll cook on it? Hurry and enter!

Trash Knows Best!

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 12:15 AM PST

Called the Trash Know, this dustbin is as elegant as practical. It features a unique way for incorporating the disposable liners into its form. Right at the bottom of the bin is this roll-dispenser holding the liners. You pull out one to line the bin with. After the trash has filled up, you simply tie a knot on the top and tear away the liner and pull up the next one. Think about a toilet roll, that's the principle used here too! I simply love the demo video for it!

Snakey Cam Gets To Those Odd Angles

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 12:00 AM PST

Fleksimus Camera features a flexible tube fitted with a lens on one end, while the other end hooks on to a compact viewfinder or 3" Color Display. It captures both still pictures and video; promising to take photography to a whole new level! Sporting a very minimal style, the unit features bare-minimum controls. Even tho specs are not given, I can only imagine how the flexible tube will allow me to take pictures from impossible angles.

Squeezable and Rechargeable Lantern

Posted: 22 Dec 2009 08:30 AM PST

The Küch Lantern is very similar to some other lanterns already in the market but one thing is does differently is you can squeeze its squeezable body to activate it. Otherwise you turn it on by spinning a rotary dial at the base. Speaking of which it charges with a dock. No details on how long the charge will hold or how long the light will last but isn’t this just perfect for those moonlit strolls?
