Part of Your World

This bottle looks like a mermaid apartment building! In my dreams I can breathe underwater if I relax myself and concentrate on taking slow, deep breaths. It's similar to learning to breathe while snorkeling. My point is, if I were dreaming, I would love to live in this mermaid apartment building bottle under the sea, but in real life, I couldn't. I would drown.

Hot and Cold

It's Fall, so it's getting a little chilly. But, what if you couldn't feel temperature? What if you were born without the ability to distinguish between ice and water? Between a popsicle and cheese sauce? Between sheet metal and your own face? That would be terrible. You would need this thermometer to tell you that it was Fall. Otherwise, you wouldn't know it was Fall... wait for it... at all!

Cock a Doodle Doo

What could possibly be better than two people who love each other? Two blue roosters that love each other and are featured on this lovely enameled metal napkin holder. Now if only they could legally get hitched, this whole situation would be near perfect. Imagine it: You have a great place to put your napkins, your guests are impressed, and love knows no bounds.

Also, if you're a Saints fan, you can be Fleur de Lys-ing it up and removing the filth from your hands and face at the same time! WHO DAT?!

Hi, Tea!


These sweet creatures are for the daily teatime of your dreams. You know, the dream where you are having teatime. You are eating cucumber sandwiches spread with mint butter, but the mint butter is really the green carpet from your childhood home. Then your 3rd grade P.E. teacher asks you how the hair removal system you invented last year is selling in the European market. Your wig feels itchy, your high school boyfriend won't stop coloring the fringe of your cutoffs with purple sharpie, and suddenly, you realize that your creamer and your sugar bowl are not those things. They are jelly fish. They are vast ocean monsters. They are filled with Manischewitz and cubic zirconias. Of course, this isn't a problem, because you can fly.

Lion's Brew


My husband found this striking Lowenbrau German Beer sign in someone's garage under a stack of Playboys so old that there weren't even any pictures of naked ladies in them. There were just drawings of naked women. No nipples. My favorite thing about this sign is that it looks like it's glowing all the time, no matter how much or what type of light is on it. It probably has some crazy chemicals in it. Put it in your kid's beer themed bedroom, or be selfish and get it for your bodacious game room or your subtly irreverent dining room.

$20 (discounted from $30)

Over the Moon


This Texas Ware plate is for someone who loves space. When I think about space, I get frightened. It's so big and has no end! I could get sucked out there one day and never be able to come back, like in Star Trek Voyager. The other day my husband asked me if I ever think about the fact that pretty soon, a huge earthquake will probably kill tons of us and change life as we know it for the rest of us. I said I prefer not to think about it, and that's how I feel about space. It's just too scary for me.

It would also be an awesome present for someone who was born on July 28th, 1969, because that is when the historic event depicted here happened. I know this because it says so on the plate.
