Loopa® The Amazing Spill-Resistant Bowl

Here is one for my fellow moms and dads.  This bowl for kids claims to be AMAZING and spill resistant. Hey, for $7.99 I'd give it a try wouldn't you?

The Manual of Things That Might Kill You

Good lord!  Like they need a manual when they have WebMD? Still..a funny gift for the hypochindriacs in your life...and we all have a few. My sister is totally getting one. $19.95 at Poopsies

Green Amethyst Cocktail Ring $62

Solar Christmas Lights

I love the idea of these solar LED Christmas lights. First of all, they are solar and therefore you are not going to see an increase in your electric bill and you can feel good about saving energy. Secondly, there is no need for extension cords. Lastly, the bulbs are less likely to fail and automatically turn on at sunset and off at sunrise.  Seem like a great idea right? $39.95 at Herrington

Shadow Puppets

Oh I loooove these shadow puppets! A fun way to play act with the lights down low. The shop currently only has 4 shadow puppet styles (I love the mermaid and T-Rex), but check back often for more varieties (hopefully the Yeti and bats will be back in stock!). $10.50 at Owly Shadow Puppets

Celebrity Rings

These celebrity rings are fun costume jewelry at an unbeatable price. The shop carries rings with a variety of celebrity images like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Kurt Cobain, Prince and even Abraham Lincoln. The artist even does customized pieces. Currently I am in love with Colin Firth (do you hear me Colin?) and man, do I wish I had Colin on my finger. $7 - $9 at Bella Moda Artist.

Design Your Own Lamp

This little lamp lets you slip in your child's artwork so it becomes the decoration of the lampshade. I love this as an alternative to hanging drawings on the fridge. $36.95 at Spoon Sisters.

Lightning Umbrella

Neat-o! Just press a button and this umbrella fills up with twinkling lights that look like stars in the sky. Must be pretty on a dreary, rainy night. $55 at Bim Bam Banana.

Green Eggs and Ham Soap

I have found that my two year old is way more excited to wash her hands if she has fun soap. Since most children have read Green Eggs and Ham many times and I think they'd get a kick out of these soaps. This shop also features other novelty soaps such as dentures (ew!), chicken drumsticks, and glow in the dark alien soap. See everything here $4.50 at Mollycoddle

HeartOn Ring

I am not much of a heart girl but this anatomial glass heart ring is awesome! It comes in 5 colors of which my favorite is black. $46.75 at Nanopod

Owl Gift Tags

Hoot! Hoot! "Fancy up" your gift with these cute owl gift tags. Come in a set of 4. $2.25 at Tag Your It

Porcelain Spike Cup

This Spike cup is the perfect "Keep your hands off my drink!" cup. $25 at Claylab

Tighty Whitey Necklace

I was browsing Etsy last night and found a ton of great things to feature so I have decided that today is unofficial Etsy day. A lot of items on Etsy are one of a kind but if an item sells out you can contact the seller to see if they have any others they can list for you. If you see something you like you might want to snap them up just in case...

First off..this hilarious tighty whitey necklace. Why would you want to wear undies around your neck? Why not right? $60 at Ball and Chain

Recycled Record CD Cases

Oh, another cool recycled record item that I couldn't resist posting about. These CD case boxes are made entirely out of an LP sleeve with the actual vinyl record on top. They're beautiful and functional - they can hold up to 12 standard jewel cases. $48 at artyfakt.

Chillow Cool Pillow

OMG, I totally need this Chillow Pillow. I'm constantly flipping my pillows over to find a cool spot, and this cooling pillow insert is supposed to solve that problem. You put it on top of your pillow and it makes your pillow feel comfortably cool. Ah, sounds like heaven! $29.95 at Amazon.

Green Vinyl Record Tree Pendant

How appropriate and pretty - a tree pendant made from a recycled green vinyl record. $17.99 at Vling.

Miso Happy T-shirt

Mmm, hot miso soup with freshly cubed tofu and seaweed is one of my personal favorites. It also makes me quite happy. That's why I love this "Miso Happy" t-shirt with the obviously happy bowl of soup. $22 at Spicy Brown.

Mermaid Scarf

It's still to warm around here to wear scarves but I am eyeing the pretty scarves at Bossy Boots in the meantime. I LOVE this mermaid scarf pictured above. $30 at Bossy Boots Designs
