Consider this a low-tech digital frame for your kid’s art: you can display one piece at a time, while storing 50 more pictures behind it, ready to be shuffled into the rotation.
No more guilt about throwing away the pieces featuring a lone squiggle. Not that you would have done that anyway.

After watching this week’s episode of “The Deadliest Catch,” I’ve become obsessed with the jellyfish that clog the fishermen’s pots: so beautiful, so gross, so unloved. So I’m planning on collecting them (or at least the non-gross, non-cruel version) in my own little pot.
While visiting my best friend in Chicago last summer, I noticed the fun boy/girl lock boxes hanging by the back door, which were, of course, a seasonal Target item they bought around Christmas. I finally found a similar pair, unfortunately only offered in a hetero version. As for boy/boy and girl/girl plates: I’m on the hunt. E-mail me if you know where to look.
Update: observant reader Howard notes that these particular keyholders *are* available in different configurations if you select the drop-down menu in the link above. Thanks, Howard!
I really like the Slanket, probably because I often pad around our house with a blanket on my shoulders, shawl-style. (Pull the blanket over your head and imagine how you can scare the kids when you peep in their rooms at night!)
Bonus: use it to indulge your adult monk fantasies, then retire comfortably to your couch, no changing required.
In honor of Earth Day: a lamp made out of rope that would look fabulous suspending a CFL bulb.
We’ve never gotten around to buying a dining room table, probably because when you’re cheap, it’s hard to justify spending upwards of $2K on something you only use a few times a year.
Our justification has arrived, in the form of a sleek, linear design that opens to reveal a regulation-size pool table, so that I can host a dinner party, then hustle all my money back when the dishes are cleared. We’re cheap, remember?
(FYI…I e-mailed the company for info on US retailers and prices, and didn’t receive an answer. So file this under the category of you-can’t-afford-it-if-you-have-to-ask.)
This gun-shaped remote control lets you make good on your promise to off Ryan Seacrest. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Let’s face it: Sloppy Joe’s drinks are gross after the third slurp anyway. When the era of tramp stamps and glow sticks is behind you, celebrate your dignity at home with this frozen concoction maker. It’s not cheap: tequila-flavored shaved ice (and the walk of shame back to your the sanctity of your own bedroom) will leave you spring broke, but certainly not spring broken.
I confess that I don’t understand the logic of ninja socks, beyond the fact that they are designed to fit into ninja boots. But if they propel me through the spider walk to Ninja Warrior heaven, then I’ll rock them everyday.
*Note: also useful for wearing with flip-flops to tourist destinations.

Infinitely better than one of those goofy “tonight/not tonight”
