Vintage Belt Rug
Jun 6, 2010 Price: Over $100, Recipient: Her, Recipient: Him, home Leave a comment
“This handsome, handmade floor mat is made of artfully assembled vintage leather belts that have been rescued on their way from waist to waste. Its rich tones, textures, and tread-friendly patina evoke the look of a wonderfully worn wood floor, albeit with a decidedly warmer under-foot feel.
Each Vintage Belt Floor Mat is a one-of-a-kind creation, and as such, colors and characteristics will vary slightly from those pictured.”

Star Wars Pancake Molds

Froms Williams-Sonoma,
Geek-worthy Star Wars pancake molds. From their site: “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi Kitchen Master created an epic breakfast to unleash the power of his Jedi Padawan. Using the Force™, he created three nonstick steel pancake molds in honor of his favorite galactic heroes and villains: Yoda™, Darth Vader™ and a stormtrooper™. Our Star Wars molds couldn’t be easier to use. Just place them with their handles up on a preheated griddle then pour in your batter. After the first side has set, remove the molds and flip the pancakes. Serve a stack drenched in your favorite syrup – and let the adventures begin. Hand-wash. 4 1/2″ to 7 3/4” wide. Fold-down handles. Set of three.”

Iphone soap

For those of you as addicted to your Iphone as I am, this is a great idea! It’s a soap — and this particular one smells like Rice Krispie Treats. Wow. You can’t get much better than that.
“This iPhone soap is roughly the same size as the actual iPhone. It has the black button at the bottom and the “screen icons” in its “flat screen”. The top layer of the soap is dark grayish black and the bottom layer is a slightly lighter shade of gray. I must say that this is one of my coolest creations and each feature is meticulously created. I hope you like the result of the many experiments and hours I spent to perfect it!
It weighs about 3 oz and it is scented with a fun Rice Krispies fragrance. (I’m happy to provide a list of available fragrances to customize it as well.) Not only does it look cool, it is also infused with shea butter. It can also be made without fragrances or without shea butter.”
