Geek Gifts : The 16-Piece iPhone Coaster Set
Posted by: | Comments
You could call it the Ultimate Geek Gift for an iPhone-toting friend — or even for yourself. It’s a set of 16 coasters made to look like iPhone application icons.
Made by Brazilian firm Meninos, the coasters are constructed from sturdy, medium-density fiber plywood and are coated in vinyl. They’re are roughly 3 1/2 inches square, washable, and feature non-skid, rubber bottoms.
Many of the most popular iPhone icons are included:
- Maps and Compass
- Camera and Photo Albums
- YouTube and iPod
The iPhone coasters sell for $59.99 plus shipping. Arrange them like your phone, or pin them on the wall. Either way, they’ll be a functional conversation piece for your home, or the home of a friend.
Cool Tools : Color This! Shows How Paints And Colors Will Make A Room Look Good
Posted by: | Comments
Visualizing a home in different colors can take a good eye and strong imagination — especially when you’re house-hunting and the home’s effects are of someone else.
Yet, we wonder:
- What would the bedroom look like in blue?
- How would the kitchen look in yellow?
- What if the foyer wall was accented in red?
At the Better Homes and Gardens website, you can answer those questions and see the results for yourself. Using the Color This! tool, website visitors can mix-and-match swatch colors, then apply them to a room’s walls, floors, trim, cabinets and accessories.
Don’t just get a mental picture of a room — get an actual picture.
The Better Homes and Gardens site require a basic, non-intrusive site registration to use the Color This! product suite. It’s also available for home exteriors and window treatments, too.
