The Cupcake Courier
by Evan Orensten
If you bake a lot of cupcakes or muffins or pick them up from your favorite bakery on your way to a party you've probably encountered the problem of delivering them without comprimise. Jennifer Gunn had this problem all to often when she made cupcakes for school events and parties; she took matters into her own hands and designed this effective means of cupcake transport to solve that very problem.
The plastic container holds three stackable trays, each with room for a dozen securely packed cupcakes. You can remove the trays and just use the base and cover to transport cakes, too.
The Cupcake Courier comes in translucent blue (other colors and trays are on their way) and is available online for $45.95 (includes shipping and handling).
Adicolor Spring 07
by SummerSeventySix
Adidas was mainly successful with it's Adicolor series last year (I say mainly successful as some of the shoes have been knocked down in the January sales) and it's looking for more of the same this year. Pictured are three new colorways hitting the usual outlets over the next few weeks. From left to right, they are the Adicolor Hi Archive Royal College, the Adicolor Hi Deluxe Multitextile and the Adicolor Low 3M. Perfect if you like brightly colored kicks, although those sneakerheads who reckon they're girly just because they have a bit of pink on them need to join the rest of us in 2007.

Lakai Ltd. Tees
by Ted Cahill
The Wrench Pilot Comic and its hero, Lettus Bee, ran in Transworld Skateboarding Magazine from 1989-1991. Letttus Bee was the skateboarder's "everyman" and now Lakai Ltd. has created shirts inspired by the comic strip (pictured left). Other novel designs from the Lakai collection reinterpret traditional Mary Poppins iconography with a 21st century twist (pictured right).
IRAK
by Wendy Dembo
Abercrombie & Fitch, Ralph Lauren, J Crew, Banana Republic, etc. are selling a fabricated-fantasy lifestyle, but IRAK lives the life that they are selling. In 1997 Earsnot started IRAK, a tightly knit shoplifting graffiti crew with about 50 members. Today some of the members include many of downtown New York's art elite. Last December Earsnot launched a website where the crew, “expresses their 2 cents on current events” and sells products that they create expressly for the site. Presently, options include shirts and swewatshirts, that say "IRAK," "Shoplifting is Not a Crime" (picture right) and "derels" (short for derelict, everyone is a derel). The blog is funny, a bit offensive, but, refreshingly, really to the point.
Zip Pop Tapes
by Letizia Rossi
The Zip Pop tapes are a great addition to the collection of novelty adhesives we've amassed on Cool Hunting. The Pop Tape Zip 50mm x 25M (£ 2.50 ) packing tape adds a clever spin to boxes and parcels and the cuteness of the blue and red Mini Pop Tape Zip (£ 3.00 ) makes it great for gifts or general office use.
Available online from Natural Products Worldwide.
