While looking around for a nikon d80 battery charger, I stumbled upon this fun and unique colour changing umbrella at SaraGlove.com. When the umbrella is dry, the butterfly designs are all in white. However, as soon as the water touches the fabric, the butterflies would change into a burst of colours like yellow, pink and blue. How lovely is that?

Hey peeps. I thought you may want to take a look at this Sleepy lamp by Boaz Saragossi. This unique Sleepy lamp falls asleep on its own. Sleepy gradually lowers its head until it reaches the base, presses the button and shuts down the lights. It is great for those who love to spend an hour or so to read before bedtime. That way, you can fall asleep without worrying about forgetting to switch off the bedside lamp. Pretty cool ain’t it? Check out this link for more cool ready made design items.

Gifts for him

My brother-in-law is celebrating his 40th birthday in 2 weeks’ time. I have yet to get him a gift, can you believe it? I find it easier to shop for women than men. My husband gave me some gift ideas like robern medicine cabinets from qualitybath.com since my brother-in-law needs one. Since I was not sure, I went surfing for gift ideas and found the Switch modular pocketknife with 18 different attachments at Quirky.com.

I am also considering this Converge, a docking station for the electronics. Decisions, decisions.
