Playing with your food. March 4, 2007

So I’ve gotten it into my head that I should explore new culinary boundaries. Today I shall start with… Cupcakes.

In that vein, lookie what I found!

 

Panda eats, shoots, and leaves. This time, it’s cupcakes. Johnny Cupcakes is a company in MA that specializes in cupcakes and crazy shirts. Honestly, I’d love any of their cupcakes, shirts, hoodies, undies, or jewelry. Just in case you were wondering. ($34 at johnnycupcakes.com/shop)

 

 

 

If one ate cupcakes all the time, one might gain a bit of poundage. So here’s something fresh, yummy, and… Wait! It’s a USB drive! And damn cute too! ($100 on Dynamism.com)

 

 

 

So my boyfriend loves Tabasco Sauce. But does he love it this much? ($37 at Countrystore.tabasco.com)

 

Mmmm… Now I’m hungry!

New Job January 12, 2007

In commemoration of my new job with a top advertising company, I’ve found a few things that I’d enjoy buying for my new office (even if it’s in the hallway!)

So your New Year’s Resolution is to eat less chocolate. Yet, you crave that goodness at work. This handy gadget smells like chocolate, yet will never melt, expand your waistline, and will hold anything you can fit in between the cubes of “chocolate”. Found on Uncommon Goods for $15.

 

I don’t know yet if I’ll be allowed to hang things on the wall, but if I can, what better thing than a coat hanger? Or maybe a coat hanger masquerading as a trio of darts? Found on Elsewares for $34.

 

Keeping yourself hydrated throughout the day is very important in a high stress environment. This handy gadget hooks up to your USB port and keeps your chosen beverage cold- found on Perpetual Kid for $29.95.

Odd Office January 11, 2007

So I’ve been having quite a few interviews lately, which made me wonder. How can I bring oddness to an office? What if my office is a cubicle? I’ve scoured the internet for the answer….

Am I obsessed with poo? Some would say so. In this vein, I have found a company that creates paper out of sheep poo. Of course, it’s sterilized and unrecognizable as poo, but the shock factor is fun. Especially if you make the item into an air freshener. If anyone asks questions, I’ll just say that I’ve worked in a barn for too long… (Offered through Sheep Poo Paper in Wales for 1.49- that’s pounds, not dollars)

 

Obviously this wouldn’t be a good item if I end up working with kids again. But in an office of adults, you might as well recognize the elephant in the room and say what needs to be said. Then you can erase it with this product by Paper Source ($4).

 

Back scratcher? Don’t be so blase. This is a ball scratcher.

No. Really.

Found at Gadget Pages for 6.75 in pounds- lots of Brit stuff today!
