Grow By Thyself

You've always said that "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." But in the case of the Grobal Self Watering Pot  you really can let someone (or something) take over your dirty work for a change. The Grobal draws water and nutrients from the (included) soil pad and feeds them to your (not included) plant on an as-needed basis. The result? Fabulous foliage with a zero energy output. 

Draw on It

Finally! An inexpensive, but surprisingly classy gift for the girl who has everything: Your boss. This Chalkboard Candle  is made of 100-pure soy wax, so even sensitive sniffers won't have a problem lighting it up. Plus, the base of this fun candle is composed of a chalkboard which comes complete with a box of chalk, perfect for penning important reminders at the office, or for leaving notes for her family at home.

Don't Put Baby In the Corner...but A Sink Is Ok...

Catch Some Rays ... Safely

Why waste your time on fireflies when you can catch sunbeams?

Set in the sun for the day, then bring it inside and watch your very own piece of sun glow softly all night. Bonus: The packaging is beyond adorable, making this a gift wrap-less present.

Super Ottoman to the Rescue

Not sure how to label this one - but one could call it the SUPER Ottoman.... It's a storage unit. It's a seating option. It's a mini coffee table. The Stow Leather Storage Ottoman is everything in-one, and we love it for that. In streamlined leather (red, green, ivory, brown, or black), the storage cube's lid can be left cushy-side up for a seat, or flipped the other way to reveal a hardwood traytop.

The pop art pattern is fun without being overbearing, and comes in trendy black or purple.

Measure This

At last! With Equal Measure you'll finally have a way to gauge the amount of water in a cumulus cloud the size of a bus. OK, while it's not the most practical kitchen gadget, it's definitely one of the most fun. This measuring device does contain ounce and milliliter measurements, but, for those times when you're up for a little trivia, you can also find out factoids like the amount of honey made by a bee hive in one day.
