Little earbuds with great sound may be the ultimate iPod accessory, but there is something to be said for style. These Spiderman Ear Buds have plenty of that. The pair of Spiderman heads you can jam into your ear canal is a good start, the crawling Spiderman that is also a slider is an exceptional design to show off. The fidelity of the sound may not be in the top tier of ear buds, but that is not what these are about.

The Honey Bear Water Pipe is a somewhat irreverent design in its usage of the honey container that has been around for years. That same design also gives it a simple type of camouflage to keep prying eyes away. But care must be taken so that an unsuspecting guest doesn’t take it out of the cupboard looking for a sweetener for their tea. That would be a tough one to explain away.

You never really know what is going on behind closed doors, and this Apartment Light gives a fine example of it. With the light switched off there appears to be a few people going about their mundane existence. But switch the light on and a whole different picture emerges. Some of that is good, some bad, but all of it is a glimpse inside a world you wouldn’t otherwise know about.

If food service is all about presentation, then this 18 wheeler hot sauce will lead to an awesome meal. This thing would be ideal at any truck stop along the freeway, acting as both a decoration and a condiment. In your house it is just a really cool way to serve hot sauce that may trick the kids into using a sauce they don’t fully understand until it is too late.

With all the chores that Mr. P has to do around the house I am a bit surprised that he has the time and energy to have a pet. Not only does his dog have a head that shines light, but it can also be adjusted vertically to fit wherever you need. He is suitably featureless just like Mr. P himself.

This birdhouse will add some class to your backyard. Rather than some modern formed metal bird feeder you can hang a boot on a pole. And since birds don’t know the difference they will be more than happy to eat out of your shoe. If you aren’t sure whether this is quite classy enough for you then the sock hanging out the top of the boot should lay that worry to rest.

Use these bookends and proclaim your love for books with an exclamation point. And it is able to do it in half the space you would expect. Half of the word is attached to the bookend and the other half of the word is reflected in the mirrored finish of the bookend itself. A simple way to add a little flair to an otherwise very boring library shelf.

Has any simpler device found more innovative uses than the clothespin? Being used as something like a paper clip is not too far from it’s intended function, but using it as a trash bag holder is a much more inventive use. You know that it is rare to find the correct combination of bag and can that work perfectly together, but this one will work with most any bags. Useful product with a unique design, something to strive for in all home accessories.

I don’t know which feature is the better selling point of this humidifier. The first is it’s portability. It is small enough (4×2.5×3 inches) that you can take it with you when you travel. If your comfort really relies on having humid air then that may be important to you. The second is that there is no reservoir to fill with water. Just screw on a typical water bottle and it is ready to go. Who knows, maybe it even works really well at generating a cool mist.
