Flush and blush

For most people, seeing their "creation" from above before flushing is more than enough, but for the true exhibitionist...there's really no need to flush, is there?

Weight of the world

Swarovski has thousands of different crystal pendants, figures, earrings, watches and other stuff out in the market. Heck...they even got keychains, pens, candlesticks and perfume these days. However, I feel their most beatiful items are the 40mm paperweights, like this one. What's unique about them is that the base of the paperweight is colored, and the refractive multi-facet of the "ball" like paperweight shows an incredibly beatiful rainbow of colors. Viewed in the right light, it's absolutely mesmerizing.

***By the way, for those who want to spend less, Swarovski stores are now (Oct 2013) selling a smaller version of this, sized at about 3/4", in the form of a keychain. It's also pretty cheap, at around $15.

Keep it clear and clean

I wasn't going to post this, but then I learned that a lot of people never actually heard of Neutrogena soap, even though they've been around forever (and are considered to be one of the best soaps around). Perhaps this is because the cardboard box the soap comes in doesn't show the beatiful and transparent piece inside. There's an idea for you, Neutrogena...come up with a transparent packaging too!

Blow me down

Oh, how I wish there was a real transparent desert eagle to match my own chrome one (wouldn't that be a beatiful way to die?). That's never going to happen, of course, because no polimer can withstand the pressure of a 44 Mag shot. This nice BB (airsoft) replica, though, can ease the pain a bit.

Begged to be open

The crystal doorknow gives you crystal clarity any time you get into a room. The manufacturer has several other variations on this as well.

Brick and mortar

This is a rather unique lighting concept - the glow brick looks like a light bulb embedded in plastic, while in fact it's a glowing phospherous orb in an inverted structure that looks like a bulb. I actually have one of these, and it looks awesome!

Control Freaks

The Paramote, designed by Mac Funamizu is clean and sleek, and I really hope it someday becomes a real product. The magnetic charge station is also quite fantastic.
