Cool Hunting

Yellow Bird Project : Charity T-Shirts, Bon Iver, The National, Of Montreal, Rilo Kiley, The Shins...
from miss_framboesa (20 Nov 2009): You can think of them as a tree of creativity, with branches joining together indie musicians, charitable organizations, and t-shirts with a fashionable punch. They’re a non-profit Montreal based organization dedicated to bringing the finest of quality, originality, and philanthropy. They seek out only the coolest of cool artists, collaborate with them to design awesomely awesome tee-shirts, and give all the prettiest of pretty profits to charities of the artists’ choice. Some of these cool bands/artists are Au Revoir Simone, Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Devendra Banhart, Hayden, Laura Veirs, My Brightest Diamond, New Pornographers, Of Montreal, ...

I'm not a battery!
from bittenbydesign (18 Nov 2009): Salt and pepper shakers that look like batteries? AWESOME. The fact you can see in how much battery life they have before 'recharging' them is so neat. I want these, even though it may confuse dinner guests!

Milk & Honey necklace
from bittenbydesign (18 Nov 2009): A honeycomb necklace? Nice! This could certainly make a great gift for someone wanting something unusual. Great for someone who has a unique style about them.

Movember Cuff Links
from bittenbydesign (17 Nov 2009): Not only are these most awesome looking, but for every sale, $20 gets donated. Now that's a great deal. So for all of us wanting an excuse to have the mo for more than just movember, or for those of us who don't grow mo's. Then this may be just the ticket.

BLIK DECAL - Ilan Dei - ANISE - THE DESIGN GIFT SHOP
from Tom_VI (16 Nov 2009): As I like changing places and decorating the new ones this Blik decals are just made for me. So far the Anise is my favorite.

A LA CARTE - City Maps - THE DESIGN GIFT SHOP
from lucienne1 (15 Nov 2009): Something else that I found on the THE DESIGN GIFT SHOP web page which looks interesting. This is a series of city maps, handcrafted with insider tips apparently from people you live there or you have recently the featured city. And there is an up to date web service with further always new information about the city. Worth looking at!!!

Punk's not dead! pinback button
from bittenbydesign (12 Nov 2009): This is now my top seller on zazzle. Out of everything, I thought one of the nature shots would of been more popular. Must be a lot more punks out there than I thought! Well, I know at least one of the sales was to myself. ;-)

Hightop Sneaker Socks: Mid-calf socks in the trademark style of Chuck Taylor's
from Three (04 Nov 2009): Wow, finally a shoe that you can wear like a sock. ;)

Tarman Action Figure
from bittenbydesign (01 Nov 2009): Classic horror movie Return of the Living Dead now has a cool character to adorn your shelves. Totally gruesome and it comes with a little brain with a bite out of it on the base! Okay, so not for the squeamish, but so great for any fan of the schlock horror movies like me!

SAMI RINNE Bat Café Au Lait Bowl
from bittenbydesign (01 Nov 2009): How do you sip your tomato soup? well, this is going to be my next kitchen purchase for just that! I am sure it would thrill my daughter no end as well. Especially the bat wings!

Free Last Minute Gift Ideas - Stuff you can get immediately, right now!
from kmilano (28 Oct 2009): Full of great ideas for what to get when you're really pressed for time. Like if you're on your way to a 30th birthday dinner, stop by a gas station and pick up 30 lottery tickets and tie a ribbon around them. Voila: interesting, fun, useful gift in 5 minutes!

Jellybean - Translucent hard case for iPhone 3G S
from bittenbydesign (13 Oct 2009): Okay, now that I have my lovely iphone, I need to protect it! What better way than one of these hard case covers. The screen protector goes under the edges of the hard case so it wont lift up and rip off like I find normally happens with them. After getting a nice red one for myself, I slipped a couple of cut out paper images against the back of my phone beneath the cover, meaning no one is going to mistake my phone for theirs. Not when I have some skulls and rabid cartoon monkey images on it! Nice to the touch, and doesn't feel like those solid black rubber ones you can get. The bonus is that it is not as expensive as some of the cases that cover the top edges of the phone. Check them out if you need a new case.

Looking For A Japanese Girlfriend
from bittenbydesign (12 Oct 2009): Since I am possibly going to Tokyo for a friends wedding next year, I might find this handy in making new friends! I wonder if it is considered rude to be advertising like this whilst in Japan? ;-)

Genocide? don't they spray that on fruit trees? shirts
from bittenbydesign (12 Oct 2009): For when you are having a blond type of day. Just one of those tops that pokes fun at something truly awful. As long as it amuses you, it is all good! But, I am easily amused after all. ;-)

Flippy Fancy Flame TatTie
from bittenbydesign (06 Oct 2009): Happy tree friends store on zazzle? What a great find! Especially as I am such a big fan of the show, now I get mugs and cups from the HTF store to adorn my desk as well as ties to wear to work! Just to put the other designers who still have their southpark stuff all over their desks...

Black crow messenger bag: a unique art product at Resist Today
from resisttoday (02 Oct 2009): We’ve taken a classic crow and embedded him in an electrified mix of blue branches. The bright blue screen printed tree branches look great against the black fabric bag.
