Jaws Shark Shower Curtain

Duh nuh. Duh nuh. Duh nuh. Duh nuh duh nuh duh nuh DUH NUH NUHHH!

Okay, I'm not sure I have that right but this shark shower curtain is truly awesome. If I needed a shower curtain at the moment you can bet that this one would be bought up in a second.

Knit Sackboy

I love this little knit Sackboy from the I Like Lemons blog. A Sackboy (or Sackgirl or Sack-person) is an avatar from the game Little Big Planet. This one may be holding a little lemon but he really is sweet.
If you feel so inclined, here's a pattern for you to use to knit your own Sackboy (but be warned, I've read that some parts of the file are difficult to decipher).

Paper Airplane Necklace

This creative Paper Airplane Necklace by finchmetal on Etsy and is made of sterling silver. The design is elegant, simple and straightforward and you can buy it in good conscience since 10% of the proceeds from every sale go to Heifer International.

Pie...err...Pi Dish

I can't think of a more appropriate vessel to bake your pie in than this glazed stoneware Pi Dish. The cobalt blue color is beautiful and the rim is lined with the digits of pi (well, not all of them, obviously).
Geeks rejoice, it's time for some pi!

Television Photo Frames

There's always something good on tv when you use these television photo frames to display your favorite pictures. The retro frame at the top is available from Urbanoutfitters.com for $18 and the colorful digital picture frames below are available from Brando for $89. I think they'd make a great (and unusual) housewarming gift.

The Sweetest Chandelier

This gummy bear chandelier by Yaya Chou is an incredible and fun piece of art! It reminds me of my childhood and it also appears to glow in a magical sort of way.
