There are a lot of things we’d like to own if we could take a “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” ray-gun to them: One of those top secret stealth helicopters that crashed during the bin Laden raid, a giraffe like the guy from the Direct TV commercial, the Statue of Liberty. Just like designer Daniel Ballou however, we can find beauty in simplicity and functionality too. That’s why we like his mini 8″ Cargo Containers that look like tiny versions of the ones you’d see at a shipyard. Daniel would know seeing as how he’s from Long Beach, one of the busiest ports there is, just how to depict the normally large vessels. Get ’em in blue & white or orange & gray and store, well, much smaller goods than you would in the regular 8 foot versions. Just resist the urge to pinch their adorable little ceramic cheeks.

Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
