At the push of a button, this pop-up elevator garage rises from the garden. Unfortunately, there is “already a four month waiting list to get the sci-fi style parking space installed and bosses of Cardok.” The $59,000 parking spots can be hidden beneath a flowerbed, lawn, or even another parking space. Owners simply press a button on a keyring to raise they car out of the ground much like the rocket launching apparatus in Thunderbirds.
The Good Luck Growing Kit ($32) is a cool ceramic planter pre-planted with five easy-to-grow oxalis bulbs which are known as good luck plants for their clover-like leaves and dark-purple center. Perfect for bringing a little bit of good luck to your home, office or cubicle and since shamrocks are a type of oxalis plant, they make great gifts for St. Patrick’s Day.
“Fight the Rain
The rain falls softly.
The samurai draws his sword.
Look, an umbrella.
Either we just made it up, or that Haiku dates to around the 14th century. It is a little known fact that Samurai also carried umbrellas. Much as they later had to disguise their swords as canes, so they disguised their umbrellas as swords. In fact, there was one skilled umbrella maker who all the Samurai relied on for their Sword Handle Umbrellas. His name has been buried in the sands of time, but his plans have been preserved. And now, it is with great pleasure that we offer to you, the Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella.
Glide it out of its nylon sheath. Hold it by its space-age plastic handle. Feel the balance. This is the umbrella you never knew you always wanted. No one will mess with you with this slung across your back, and even the rain will shudder when you pull it out. For, apart from looking unbelievably awesome, the Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella is a dang fine umbrella. It will keep you dry and the envy of your friends. Precipitation doesn’t stand a chance. “

From the vaults of the talented (and somewhat imaginatively named) Daniel Loves Objects, comes a creation that will capture the imagination of one and all. We have all looked at the omnipresent mannequins and often wondered what if they come to life. In “At Your Command” the Singapore-based designer has endowed these with life, oops I meant light. The AT Your Command is (presumably) a concept lamp that installs a mannequin where the body of a lamp is usually found. The form of the lamp is made all the more appealing by removing the wires, and panache is added by gold plating the mannequin. With the joints of the mannequin made movable, At Your Command submits itself to the user’s imagination. Interesting and stylish, this one is just perfect to spice up decor.
What will your sweetheart think when she gets a wooden box for a gift this Valentine’s Day? Well, she’ll definitely be surprised when she opens it to reveal it filled with an array of miniature red rose blooms. Valentine Baby Blooms ($85) is created from expert floral designer Jane Carroll and features fresh rose blooms presented in a collectible, handcrafted wooden box with a rich black finish.

From The best page in the universe, a selection of kids drawings and why they suck.
“If you work in an office with lots of people, chances are that you work with a person who hangs pictures up that their kids have drawn. The pictures are always of some stupid flower or a tree with wheels. These pictures suck; I could draw pictures much better. In fact, I can spell, do math and run faster than your kids. So being that my skills are obviously superior to those of children, I’ve taken the liberty to judge art work done by other kids on the internet. I’ll be assigning a grade A through F for each piece:…” Check it out here!
