I’m not sure if any of you are fans of canoeing, but I think you’ll agree that this clear canoe is awesome! One of the best things about canoeing is looking at everything around you and in the water. How awesome would it be to look right down under your feet as you’re going along?! There’s also a clear kayak, which is pretty sweet. Both can be found right here.

fruit juice
Can you believe this juice box packaging by Naoto Fukasawa? I love it! I’m not sure they’d be easy to mass produce, but I would love to hold one just to see what it feels like! Especially the strawberry one…

lion/tiger bandanna
Have you guys seen this awesome bandanna from Handoverfist? I want one! There’s also a bear/bunny bandanna if that’s more your style. Sweet!

apple cozy
While I personally am not ready to drop 20$ for one of these little apple cozies, I do think they are a really cute and cool idea! No more bruises, I suppose. I love the leaf embellishment also!

L.E.D. Sheep!
There are no words for this video other than totally awesome! Samsung paid these guys to go to Wales and put some LED lights on sheep and herd them into patterns to make different displays! The sheep were probably kind of confused, but boy did they help make some cool visuals! Check it out, it is just amazing!
P.S. Props to the sheepdogs too!
comfy feet
Can you believe this odd rug by Laurens Van Wieringen? It’s made out of little bits of polyurethane foam, in different colors and heights that make a mini-landscape! I would love to walk on it in bare feet – I bet it feels awesome!

awesome sliding house!
This is just amazing! A man in Suffolk UK built this incredible glass house, with a slide-over cover, for he and his wife to retire in… I would love to live here!

tiny book for your finger
Ah! I want a book ring by Ana Cardim! So cute, and I’d never forget anything again!
notgeld
I am obsessed by the graphics on these antique German notgeld, or emergency money. Notgeld was printed by small municipalities and town banks in Germany from WWI through the 1920’s and 30’s. Though it was not legal currency, it was generally accepted, and actually proved useful due to the outrageous inflation in Germany at the time. These scans are all from Flickr user Iliazd, who has an awesome notgeld set with something like 900 different marks in it! If you love sweet graphics or history, or both, be sure to give it a browse.

portable toaster knife thing!?!
This little gadget, which looks rather like a butter knife, is actually a portable toaster! Apparently you just “glide” the toaster over your slice of bread, and the bread gets toasted! And if you couldn’t tell just by looking at your bread, the cute little graphic on the toaster changes as you toast your bread to let you know how far along your toast is. Sheesh! It looks cute, but it also looks like it has the potential to be more trouble than it’s worth. What do you guys think?

das parkhotel
I’ll bet you never thought to spend the night in a renovated sewage pipe! However, at Das Parkhotel in Austria you can cozy up and spend the night (or a few) along the banks of the Danube in one of these well-decorated (and clean) pipe rooms. There are some more pictures on the hotel’s site. I’d totally try it! Would you?
a table and chairs that rule
These interesting chairs and table are by VivaTerra, and are made entirely from rulers and yardsticks. I like how they are made in a sort of vintage looking style too. Cool!
