Get Low: In-floor Bathtub

Emotion Tub

I generally think bathtubs are disgusting. But my feelings aside, this tub is just plain slick. Or rather, the installation of this tub is just plain slick.

Now obviously if you installed this thing in a main room in your home, you’d be weird. Really weird. But in the right setting, this really does just look fantastic.

The tub (just the tub, no installation), will run you $2,200.

Gargantua Table

Gargantua Table

So I have to admit, I really like outdoor furniture. No clue why. I just do.

The Extremis Gargantua really is one of the coolest pieces of outdoor furniture I’ve ever seen.

It allows for all sorts of uses and fits just about any lifestyle. The table is made of up multiple “attachments” that lets you adjust the table to each situation. There are 4 different sections that surround the main table part that can all be raised or lowered. The lower setting is for adults, the next two settings up are for children, and if you raise it all the way to the top, it becomes a table extender!

Gargantua Table Settings

Now…for the bad news. While it is an extremely jazzy piece of furniture, this is gonna set you back close to 7 grand. OUCH!

If you’re really interested in dropping the cash on one of these, check out the Extremis dealer list.


Utili-Key: Super Handy Dandy Must-Have for Any Keychain

Utili-Key So every once in a while I come across something that doesn’t necessarily look all that cool but is seriously just straight handy.

The Swiss+Tech Utili-Key is just one of those products.

It’s less than 3 inches in length and only weighs half an ounce. Did I mention it has 6 tools included? Everything from a knife to a screwdriver to a bottle opener. This has got to be one of the handiest little gadgets ever.

On top of all that, it’ll barely set you back any change…it’s only $11!

Dirt Devil Kone Wait…you want to know what that thing is? Oh yeah. It’s a handheld vacuum cleaner! How cool is that?

It’s available here in 6 different colors from white to purple and will run you around $43.
