You know what we need? Dedicated chairs for back scratching—or maybe even back scratching functionality built into a massage chair. Designer Dana Gordon is pioneering this new product line with an “Itch Chair” that features a scratching actuator controlled by running your fingertips across a touchpad on the seat base. It even has interchangeable “fingernails” that can be used to achieve the appropriate intensity.
It appears that your houseplants have built themselves a mech and are plotting to mobilize against you.

The normal outdoor ashtray for cigarettes is a black, plastic eyesore. The Cactus Butt Bin is much easier to see which means more people will use it. And while you are making your outdoor clean up chores a little easier, you are also adding a bit of desert style. Ideal for any Mexican restaurant, it may be a little odd outside a pizza joint.
