it sucks!

WIWI: yes, i'm literally drooling over a vacuum, but i like my stuff clean. especially since my hair falls out at an insane rate (TMI?), the dust bunnies in my place are actually beginning to look like bunnies, and i essentially occupy a 17x12 foot space.


The Dyson Stowaway has Root Cyclone technology, wraps to store away, with a motorized Brushbar.
$499.99

functional decorating is fab

WIWI: i hate hate hate dealing with wiring. messy and ugly and the whole chance of electrocution is offputting. but wires this pretty might make a good sound system project worth it.


FlatWire is thinner than a business card and yet flexible enough to bend to any angle required for a customized installation. This technology has the same or better performance as conventional wiring.
And most uniquely, when FlatWire is installed correctly, it becomes virtually INVISIBLE.
FlatWire will forever change the way we think about wiring, decorating, redecorating and even new construction. We no longer have to compromise our vision of a room based on the location of outlets or how easily we can move them.

it fixes everything in style

WIWI: there was a time when silver duct tape in and of itself was really trendy. people made clothes and shoes and bags out of it. for this snazzy version, red and green are OK, but i would be all over this stuff if they had the bright yellow plaid. i know it has a name, but it's escaping me right now. beautiful.


With so many uses, this economical "sportsman's repair kit" (aka L.L. Bean Maine Guide Duct Tape, Plaid) will be the first thing you put in your hunting pack. Comes in handy for everything from patching equipment to removing dog hair from truck seats. Exclusive traditional plaid print.
