Glow-in-the-Dark Hummingbird Feeder

I get hummingbirds in my backyard (yay!) and I'm seriously thinking of getting this pretty, hand-blown glass hummingbird feeder.  It also glows in the dark - not for the hummingbirds' enjoyment, but for us humans.  $29.99 at Whatever Works

Hair Brush Cleaner

My husband doesn't understand why I don't clean my hairbrush. Maybe I need one of these hair brush cleaners to keep him happy? This neato gadget will appeal to his geeky side, and it'll get rid of all those pesky hairs on your hairbrush in seconds. $3.50 at KarmaKiss.com

Manly Man Soap

It’s nice when a manly man doesn’t smell too manly, if you know what I mean. How about if he smells like Manly Man Soap, a blend of clary sage and veviter? It’s a scent made for a man, but I’m thinking women will like it too. $4.50 a bar from Seattle Sundries on Etsy. They have a Sasquatch Soap too if you need something a little more…primal.

 

Email Digest Weirdness

For those of you who receive our blog in a daily email digest form, you didn't get yesterday's digest until this morning.  There may be another email digest going out today at its regularly scheduled time, but it will be a slimmer version since half of today's posts were already included in this morning's delayed mailing.

We did notice that three posts didn't make it into the email digest and wanted to share them with you in case you may have missed them:

I love this cute, handmade accessory that you can add to either your cell phone, or backpack, or anything with a zipper.  Very girly and bright.  But if you don't like this design, she has many, many other styles to choose from, or you can even design your own!  $21 with free shipping.

If my dad, the king of nickel knowledge, cooked I would get this geeky measuring cup for him.  Haven't you always wondered exactly how much table salt is in a large human?  $12.99 at Think Geek

Organic Catnip Swiss Roll Toy

I'm not afraid to admit that every time I look at these Swiss Roll toys, I get a little hungry. Each handmade Swiss Roll is made of 100% cotton stuffed with poly fiberfil and 100% organic catnip and measures 3 inches long by 1.5 inches in diameter. Your cat is sure to love these. $6.99 for one roll, by Jake and Micah.

BoGo Solar Flashlight

What a smart little gadget to keep in the car or with your camping gear! This BoGo flashlight runs on solar power and rechargeable batteries, meaning fewer batteries end up in landfills. Bonus: for every one you buy, the manufacturer will donate another to people in a developing country. $25 at SunNight Solar

Panda Face Mug

This little panda mug is so cute!  The face is the bottom of the cup so everyone can see the little face when you drink.  And how cute to see a panda sitting in your cupboard.  $23.99 at Mod Cloth

Coconut Lemongrass Body Butter

You're going to ask why this is in the Pampered Pets category.   It's simple.  My dogs LOVE all of my creams/lotions/smelly goodies, and when I say "Love" I mean "to eat".  While there are alot of all natural Body Butters out there, many of them have Soy which can be toxic to dogs.  These body butters have clean simple all natural ingredients that don't use soy, are light and creamy, never greasy, and smell BEYOND divine, and I don't have to worry when my pups start licking me.  Be sure to check out the new beach inspired scents.   $10.00 at Winks and Co.

Why would you need your own personal rainbow?  I'm not really sure.  But if you do need one then this rainbow projector is for you.  It's even motion activated. $29.99 at Perpetual Kid

Get those Wii’s off the floor! This stylish modular video game storage unit can hold a PS2 or Wii console and joysticks while the game storage unit can hold up to 37 games or extra equipment. And it looks nice too! $75 for the storage unit with drawer and $45 for the game console storage unit at Kangaroom Storage. Make your living room look a little less lived in by stashing it all away.

Udder Cream

Originally used by dairy farmers to keep their cows' udders healthy, this cream proved to be so effective that it's now packaged into jars for people (cows might find the jars a tad difficult to open). This unfragranced, moisturising formula includes almond oil, olive oil and honey. AUD$15.90 for 250ml from MooGoo.

Dandelion t-shirt

I kinda like dandelions even if they're supposed to be a weed. I heard they're even good in salads but they're definitely cuter on a t-shirt. $24 at Supermaggie.

I love, love, love guinea pigs from their chubby little bodies to their enthusiastic "wheek! wheek!" when it's time for treats.  This guinea pig magnet is so cute and it's handmade.

Balancing Monkeys

These little balancing monkeys are made of non-toxic, organic rubberwood and colored with vegetable dyes, so they're not only cute but environmentally friendly. Hanging the monkeys together from the tree in different combinations supposedly helps kids learn basic math and balance concepts. They'd make a great gift for a few little monkeys I know! On sale for $18 at Modern Kid Stuff.
