The list of things we're problem buyers of is way too long. Too many pairs of jeans, minimalist art prints, notebooks, watches (and don't even get us started on Kickstarter pens) would fill any number of previously mentioned notebooks. Clocks go on that list too. There might be a total of five naked walls between all ... continue reading
There is beauty in simplicity. In fact, the larger the mess of keys you carry, the less attractive it is. For a sleek and minimal holster option, check out the Wilson Keyring. The key shackle is a simple brass spring with just a little pop of color. It doesn't open your beers, it doesn't store those little supermarket ... continue reading

You don't need to sail the seven seas or rock a ridiculous hat to a bit of awesome pirate-ness to your life. All you need is (presumably) a boatload of cash. That's what it will take to drop the Jolly Roger Chair from Fabio Novembre into your pad. The polyurethane foam throne sports an interior map, ideal for plotting ... continue reading
If you've had just about enough of the whole minimalist poster movement - you know, the one where an entire movie is boiled down and displayed as a rhombus - these prints may be more up your alley. Designed by Chet Phillips, each print is inspired by a different Coen classic and are a bit more "busy." Instead of just ... continue reading
Ignore the cute polar bear/pig hybrid this ice tray happens to look like. Sure, some sites will mention this as a selling point, but we're assuming you're not decking out your home with adorable little critter shaped goods. What is worth mentioning about this ice tray, is the fact that it's mighty useful and an upgrade ... continue reading
The trick with everyday carry items is the fact that you need them with you at all times. Now, unless you're carrying around a bag 24/7, that means you want to streamline those products as much as possible. When tackling the mess that is your keychain, consider using The Pickpocket. The titanium little holster is a ... continue reading
A friend of ours recently mentioned that he thought the bacon fad was over. He's an idiot. Bacon will always be popular because bacon is awesome. It's that simple. If you want to take your appreciation of sweet, sweet bacon to another level, make some of your own with The Original Baconkit. All you have to do is secure ... continue reading
There are at least ten lists floating around the Internet (most of them on Buzzfeed) about things that happened during our childhood and how we should feel like Dinosaurs because: Ecto Cooler has been gone for more than a decade; Maggie Simpson is old enough to drink, and N64 would be able to drive if it was a person. ... continue reading
The words "awesome" and "wallpaper" are rarely used in the same sentence. Normally we associate wallpaper with pastels, flowers, and grandma's house. This wallpaper is different. The repeating pattern of golden Sugar Skulls is both ominous and amazing. Printed on a dark charcoal background, the design will add more ... continue reading
There have been plenty (maybe too many) adaptations of alternate cover art for films that everyone knows and loves--Tarantino's works especially. Few of them go the route of the screenplay cover, and that's part of what makes Sharm Murugiah's work really cool. Django Unchained, Inglorious Basters, Death Proof, Kill ... continue reading
When we need to get things done, our spark usually comes in the form of espresso. Problem is, we either need to run to a coffee shop or fire up the ole pod machine to get our caffeine infusion. The Nomad is an ultra portable, green (not just in color) espresso maker. Adopting the ideology of classic Italian espresso ... continue reading
There's not much room for innovation in the growler market. It's a jug that holds beer. Simple. Turning one into a mini keg (like The TapIt Cap we recently featured) is the one smart move we could think of to help out the standard growler. Drink Tank Growlers are another solid option if you want to keep the beer in ... continue reading
You can tell a lot about a man by the magazine he's reading on the train. Juxtapoz - He's a design and art type. Maxim - He's a college kid who has a room full of empty red Solo cups. Hustler - He's a freak, nobody should be reading that shit on public transportation. For something a bit more highbrow, we often turn ... continue reading

March Madness is upon us. Say goodbye to quality Internet connections at the office during lunch time. Say goodbye to being able to sneak away and hole up in the conference room with the TV to get work done. E-mail the work wife, cut down on the after work business meetings and polish off the bracket. The NCAA prints ... continue reading
