Stay Puft Caffeinated Marshmallows contain 100mg of caffeine each and come in a squishy, reusable box. I say get these, some Water Joe, some Penguin Mints, and whatever other improbably caffeinated foodstuffs you can find and try to break some records!
(Records possibly broken include but are not limited to: Most days awake, most caffeine ingested at one sitting, and most ill-conceived plan ever devised to break some records.)

Sometimes truth is more beautiful than fiction, and the bald facts more appealing than all the poetry in the world. Which is perhaps why these crayon labels featuring the name of the actual chemical used to give each crayon its special shade appeal to me even more than Crayola's standard color names. (Though I'll admit, "Inchworm" and "Mauvelous" are pretty evocative, too.)

A message board. Covered in synthetic fur. That you write on with your fingers. For 110 Euros. I just...I just needed you to know that this exists.

This parrot conceals a necklace made of its own skull and intestines for you to wear while you go out dancing and gallivanting and doing whatever it is you do. Does your pet parrot at home do that? I don't think so! (But please, don't try and prove me wrong.)
Designed by the marvelously monikered Tithi Kutchamuch.

Stylish stationery is one of my favorite things to collect. Which made me fall instantly in love with these "When Hell Freezes Over" note cards from the Felt & Wire Shop. A fancy way to say "I know I don't write very often, but isn't it so, so worth the wait?"

And if you really enjoy being judged while you eat -- also winked at, leered at, whispered about, and possibly propositioned -- House of Harriet's hand-painted ceramics are just the ticket. These have so much personality, I don't think a solo breakfast would ever feel quite as lonely again.

There seems to be a whole subset of dishware devoted to making us feel judged, or watched, or disapproved of, while we eat. And maybe I'm a masochist, but I'm kind of into it. Thus my affection for the Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club Plate Set, designed by Emma Houlston, who says:
"A series of plates inspired equally by meals with my gran and scenes of the immaculately dressed Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club as featured in John Betjamen' s Metroland (1970). Either follow their rules or flaunt a total lack of respect by eating your TV dinner off one of these porcelain beauties."
A series of sweet-but-stern older ladies, reminding you of all the cardinal rules of dining with others. What's not to love?

"Turn the handle and the golden boat rides the mechanical waves, above the stormy clouds periodically reveal a shining bolt of lightning."
Limited edition kinetic sculpture from Laikingland, designed by John Lumbus. Go look, seriously. It's exquisite.

Imagine you've had a long, long day.
I know, just bear with me.
Imagine you've had a long, long day, and you get home after dark, and all you want to do is crawl into a comfy bed and sleep for the next twelve hours. Now imagine your bedroom. Perhaps you have painted tall, gentle conifers on the walls, to give yourself the illusion of being in the forest. Perhaps you have a fluffy flannel sleeping bag fresh from the dryer on your bed, to make you feel like you're camping in all the best ways. Perhaps you have one of those small fountains in your room, to lend the sound of a brook close by while you dream. Perhaps there's a fan blowing in the room, to replicate a quiet breeze blowing through the trees and making them go shush-shush in the night.
Now imagine that the corners of your room are filled with small, glowing mushrooms, some in amber, some in blue, and the setting at once becomes a fairytale. And that is why these LED mushroom lights on reclaimed wood had to be invented by someone. I feel like they've been a part of my subconscious for ages.
These are created by The Great Mushrooming -- site is in Japanese only. Please see links for photos galore!

I've always had a silly aversion to armadillos. I think it stemmed from a strange taxidermy situation from my childhood, which is certainly not the armadillo's fault. But I went on a hike the other day near the beach and I saw a pair of armadillos for the first time in the wild -- going about their business, being friends, having fun. And it hit me in a flash -- these animals are super cool.
Which makes this armadillo ring by designer Up To Much super cool. Bonus: I'm pretty sure it can double as a weapon.

I love every single one of these vinyl Munko whale toys designed by artist David Choe, especially the ones with legs. That probably makes them something other than whales, per se, but I'm not going to quibble. View all twelve and order a whole case of 'em here.
(NSFW if your workplace is squeamish about vinyl cartoony boobs on female whale figurines. It's probably in your contract somewhere.)

Finally, right?
If you're feeling like you've got no backbone, or you're worried about the future health of your spine but you just can't resist the siren call of wearing a stiletto heel while you're out dancing, now you can bring a spare. Or two. DSquared2 has got your, er, back.
(I'm sorry, I'm fascinated both by the existence of these shoes and by puns.)
