Gift Guide Item #8: Hand Blown Modern Barware Set


A friend of mine recently bought a very nice watch made out of melted spoons (I hope this is the right link) from Etsy so I decided to take a look at the site. Etsy is a sort of community website where designers can sell their creations to the public and Etsy receives a very small portion of all sales. While browsing, I came across this this set of 8 hand-made shot glasses. Each individual shot glass has a slightly different ridged base, making the set look very real and hand-made as opposed to the usual monotony of shot glasses. Sadly, the set doesn't come with the wood base but nonetheless, this is a gift that any frequent party host would love to receive. Available through Etsy here for $29 USD.

Origami Toilet Paper


This is just awesome, plain and simple. I jacked this straight from Contra (whose blog and online magazine are awesome by the way, and definitely worth checking out); there is no way the bathroom can ever be boring again with instant origami at your fingertips. And no, making butterflies and flowers doesn't replace the need to wash your hands when you're done.
P.s. I have no idea where to actually buy this. If anyone does, please leave a comment
