Bike CoasterAlone, they are cool. Together, they are cool * 4, which = awesome. And I’ve been studying for the GREs, so I know my math. Show of your love of bikes, or of drinking, or both.

Letter BHonestly, I have no idea what I would do with these if I had a whole bunch. But they’re really cool! Maybe they could market them for Valentine’s day: “Say ‘I love you’ with recycled Spam cans!”

National Parks Vintage Slide Lampshade

Here’s a second entry for the National Parks theme of the day. Why is it today’s theme? Well, today is the birthday of the National Park Service! That’s right, folks. Ninety-two years of hot women in uniforms protecting the environment. Anyway, this lampshade is made from all-recycled materials including old slides from many national parks. You can use this to put on slide shows, or just to study awkwardly as you sit on the couch at a party.

Godiva Fall Collection

Yes, it’s that time. No, not hammer time. The time in the middle of August when it’s 100 degrees outside and designers start putting out their fall/winter collections. Little did I know, Godiva – yes, the chocolate maker – also has a fall collection. This year, it seems to involve mousse. Far be it for me to argue with chocolate, so I “explored their mousse pieces” and I’m very excited about the Tropical Mousse. Oh yeah, and they’re limited edition, so you’d better get them quick. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

$20 for 9 pcs from Godiva

It’s a calendar! Just pop a bubble a day to keep track of the date. Warning: not for homes with cats or people like me who wouldn’t be able to stop at just one bubble.
