I never understood the Keep Calm and Carry On poster craze, but I do like this one from Etsy, Keep Calm and Read A Book.

I guess there’s a Keep Calm poster for every interest now. This shop has posters for “Keep Calm and Love Cats,” “Keep Calm and Drink Coffee,” and “Keep Calm and Play Basketball,” among others. $12 each.

I have to admit I’m fascinated with this PicNYC Table from Haiko Cornelissen Architecten. The folded lightweight aluminum table is designed to grow real grass on the table top, thus simulating the outdoor experience of picnicking outdoors in your own dining room.

Like any lawn, this table sounds like a lot of work, requiring watering, proper light, and of course “mowing,” or trimming the grass. On the bright side, spilling a glass of water at the dinner table is no longer a problem.

So yeah, not the most practical table in the world, but it would be a cool way to bring nature indoors. Or even better, this would be an awesome patio table, assuming (rather ironically) that it can survive outside.

Although I still use old tennis balls instead of dryer sheets, these Hedgehog Dryer Balls are pretty cute. They are 2 for $6 and still cheaper than dryer sheets.

Have you ever wondered where your cat does all day? I have. But we don’t have to wonder anymore, we can just buy a CatCam instead. It’s a camera that goes around your cat’s neck and records its daily activities. At the end of the day, you can plug the camera into your computer and upload images of what your cat has been up to.

The camera costs about $50 and is supposed to be sturdy, i.e. “shock resistant, scratch resistant, water resistant, and theft resistant.”

There’s also a pretty fascinating photo gallery that lets you see sample photos from people’s cats. Some examples:

I have a feeling the novelty of the CatCam would wear off after awhile, but it’s almost worth it to see what my cat is doing during the day.

Than again, considering my cat’s eccentric personality, maybe I am better off not knowing…

This tent is awesome. It is shaped like a book! It’s one of many themed tents you can buy from Field Candy. You could sleep in slice of watermelon or in a cloud of butterflies too.

The tents sleep two people easily and costs the somewhat odd price of $868.19. [swissmiss]

I like this owl tree topper from Anthropologie. It’s called “Happy Whoolidays Tree Topper” and made in the Czech Republic.

I also like the glass antlers:

Kind of insanely expensive at $198 each, but definitely cool looking. [NOTCOT]

This Lightning Vest is a pretty cool bike accessory. Made from reflective material, it is light, strong, and “compact enough to fit in your pocket without ever getting tangled.”

Made in the USA, too. $95. [swissmiss]

Ah Kate Spade. You have my number, don’t you? I always love her stuff, including these air quote mittens. Because how else are you going to make air quotes while wearing mittens?

Of course, this being Kate Spade, the mittens are $65. But frankly, they don’t look that hard to recreate on your own if you know how to knit. [swissmiss]

I love this lamp! It’s in the form of an exclamation mark! I wish I could afford it!

More punctuation mark lamps here.

This Stinky cheese spreader made me smile. It’s a vintage butter knife that has been stamped with the word “stinky.”

This is a great way to joke with your guests who are picky about cheese. (I like it all.) [Rare Bird Finds]
