This Grandfather Clock gives you some of what a grandfather clock gives you. And when I say some, I mean that exactly. It is like taking a slice of the grandfather clock and affixing it to your wall. You can still tell time, you can still get the idea of the nice wood and stylized face that a grandfather clock gives you, but it takes up much less space. It will certainly make people take a second look.

Take 18 plates of glass and put part of a lamp design on each one. Stack them back to back and stick a light bulb in the middle and you have the Mirage Lamp. Looking at it straight on it looks like a typical 3D lamp, even emitting light like a normal lamp would. But the more you see it from the side the more you realize what a cool piece of home decor you have. Each half of the lamp is held together by magnets to allow you to change the bulb.

I don’t think about placemats very often, but these are something different. Each one has a character made entirely of items found in the kitchen. Each mat has a very different looking face on it, you should be able to match each to a family member’s personality. Food should be fun and these placemats will help keep your sense of humor in the right place.

It may have double the number of endpoints that your usual asterisk does, but it tells time a whole lot better. Beside the asterisk face and pointer minute hand you get an interesting shadow effect behind. It could be a geeky gift, it could be an artistic gift. I think the recipient will know which reason it was purchased for.

There is no reason that every bathroom in the house has to have a feminine touch. You can feel a bit more manly if you outfit yours with this Semi Truck Rear View Mirror. And don’t worry about how thin it is, that wide angle round mirror can take care of that.

I can’t tell if this is based on a mortar and pestle or test tube and beaker. People visiting your house won’t know what to think either when they see these salt and pepper shakers on your table. The possibilities will run through their head, the thoughts getting worse as they go along. Chemistry as a hobby, pharmacist bringing their work home or meth lab owner. Whatever. As long as they are not calling the cops having these cool shakers on my table is worth the bad rep.

Each Pet Dick is individually hand sculpted at the artist’s studio in NY. It includes kindness and care instructions as well as an artist signed, dated and hand numbered Certificate of Authenticity card. Because God forbid you get a Pet Dick that is not authentic.
Each Pet Dick comes with a ventilated “Pet Dick carrier and Spanish Moss bedding”.

If you need to keep some paper around but are tired of all the little yellow pads you are stuck with, get yourself a Memopad. The body design on the paper and the removable head/arms that sit on the paper will certainly grab the attention of everyone that comes by. And if you happen to run out of paper, the rest of the soaker’s body is beneath the paper. That makes for a nicer look when you run out of paper, although the small naked person in a box may seem odd to others at that point.

A Golf Bag Lamp sounds like a cool idea. A Golf Bag Lamp that has a Golf Umbrella as a shade is just much cooler. The seller says they are not sure if it was ever actually used as a golf bag. So either that is a HUGE table it is on or the seller has no clue what he is talking about.

As I am sure these nice young ladies would tell you, the only cool towel for the beach is a Surfboard Towel. The size, shape and design of a surf board replicated as a towel for you to lay on the beach. Just because you can’t hang ten doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be relaxing on a surfboard.
If surfing isn’t your thing, check out the Kayak Towel after the break.
