Thunderpants
(15 November 2006) - "They won’t go up your bum!" claims the New Zealand comfy-yet-cute underwear company Thunderpants. Started in 1995 by a couple of girls who were—in their own words—"frustrated by an undie market which either had us squirming all day in wee lace numbers or flopping about in sexless granny bloomers," they designed what they term their "ideal undie." These colorful, well-cut knickers, made from a...

In Vitro Orchid
(01 November 2006) - Flowers die and potted plants need maintenance, but the In Vitro Orchid is a nearly burden-free gift.

When the flower outgrows the five-inch tube, simply transplant. It's surprisingly affordable ($30) and a surefire conversation starter. ...
