Sometimes wielding a yard stick isn't the most convenient thing in the world, so whether you're out and about or just don't need to negotiate with a full three feet, this wooden ruler folds up for easy access and portability. Don't forget to measure twice!
Though we don't have any ties to speak of, this bright'n'simple hanger from Kikkerland has almost convinced us to start up a collection. Were it in our apartment, we'd mount it on the wall and hang dangly earrings and necklaces from its aluminum structure.
We own one of these ceramic cartons, but don't actually keep it anywhere near the eggs. It's the perfect spot to store earrings on our side table, and we're positive it would make an equally-effective receptacle for any mini-knickknacks that tend to lose themselves in the nooks and crannies of your home.
Don't be fooled by the graceful curves and fold of the Ribbon Lamp, because this slick desk accessory packs a powerful lighting punch. Using CCFL technology—the same that's illuminating your plasma flatscreen TV—the bulb will keep your workspace bright for up to 15,000 hours, and the arm can be extended up, out, or down to accommodate the amount of room available in your office.
The space within this beech wood bear is limited, so you'll have to be choosy on what you decide to stick inside. Our vote is for a little note that will delight the heck out of anyone who happens to open it up, like a little message in a bottle; We can still remember finding a small box on a shelf at our grandmother's house when we were little, heart racing when we saw there was a folded slip of paper inside. A secret! We took it out, flattened the creases and read, in her flowery hand: "Don't be so nosy!"
