unique design

Show your Christmas spirit and have a little fun at the same time. The reindeer is a fine Christmas-themed piece of jewelry, but the design of these earrings is what will amuse everyone. The heads are the fronts, the body the backs, so when you are wearing them it looks like the cute little guy is hanging through your earlobe. You don’t even need one of those gross large holes in your earlobe to achieve that effect.

I think the sellers of this fish bag had it described perfectly as “for kids and child-minded adults”. As a daily handbag it is odd, to say the least. But if you could squeeze a bowling ball in there, it would be an awesome bag for that purpose. Just because.

I guess the makers of this purse are aiming for the Marilyn Monroe fans that also love high heels. That does not necessarily make it a product that only a woman could love. Whoever does want that combo, the bag also has ribbon lacing, though there are only so many high heels that have laces.

Now that the Olympics have officially begun, you should cheer on your home country with all the effort you can. And no one is going to get me cheering more for the USA than this very sexy blue haired lady. With the moves she has to create each letter she should be winning a medal of her own.

If you need to carry an umbrella it may as well have some artistic merit. Taking a page out of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design past can’t be a bad place to start. Based on the leaded glass design for the Avery Coonley Playhouse, you can share this modern artistic interpretation with everyone getting poked in the eye by it.

Dental Watch

A bit of a niche product, the Dental Watch uses the tools of the trade for the hands. A dental scaler is the second hand, a mouth mirror is the minute hand, and a contra angle is the hour hand. The tooth at the 12 o’clock position makes the theme a bit more obvious. Fun even for those that aren’t dentists or dental assistants.

Yankees Stadium GPS Hat

There are probably millions of people who have NY Yankees baseball hats. But the true fans would get themselves this Yankees GPS Hat. Not only does it advertise you as a Yankees fan, it also has a map of the Yankees Stadium area right on it. If you get lost on the way just take your hat off and get directions. I think all team hats should be as useful.

7 Days Ring

The designer says this ring’s shape represents the seven days of the week, and turning the ring is like the passing of time day after day. Whatever. I call it a ring made from a seven sided bolt. The artist may think his interpretation is poetic, but mine is more practical, useful and very likely what everyone that sees it is going to think.

This dog may not be as small or cute as Paris Hilton’s little pets, but it is a lot more useful. They call it a Dashund Bag, I call it a Dachsund Bag. And this Dachsund Handbag is plenty big enough to carry everything you may need, including a change of clothes in case you don’t make it home some night.

That person passing you on the street seems to be wearing a very large tie outside of their coat. No, that is likely one of these Neck Warmer Tie Scarves. In addition to adding a little class to your outfit, tying it at the neck like this has to keep you a lot warmer. So ignore any odd comments you get and just revel in your wool and fleece warmth.
