Mad.Elephant Jewelry
(10 January 2008) - We love the ingenuity of Mad.Elephant's jewelery designs, which includes items as disparate as chicken bone knuckle ring, a 22-caliber bullet shell bracelet and a dove's foot bracelet.

Sno-Baller
(04 January 2008) - If you want to win all the neighborhood snowball fights (but lack the ball-making talents of Will Ferrel in "Elf"), you'll need to pick up a Sno-Baller for the Winter months. Made of injection-molded, high-impact plastic, the Sno-Baller creates perfect, baseball-sized snowballs that are dense enough to actually do some damage. You don't even need to get your hands wet. Purchase it at Plow...
