The Butter Wizard

The Butter Wizard
For a fancy dinner party, or just a family meal, you can have butter that stays the perfect temperature.

The Butter Wizard can either heat or cool your butter, based on what you would prefer. It sits on a charging station and plugs into a power station. It will run you around $60, but you can choose your own color to match your decor!

Metaphys Indoor Grass Planters

Grass Planters
Need more art in your home? If you have a green thumb, this is the thing for you. This Metaphys Indoor Grass Planter is a sweet combination of art and organic.

You can hang, stack or set these anywhere in your home or outside. I personally would want to throw in some colorful flowers, or you could keep the bright green pop of grass.

Made by Metaphys.

“Leave No Trace” Shopping Bags

Shopping Bags

I always forget to bring my own shopping bags to the grocery store. The double whammy is that I typically forget to ask for paper instead of plastic!

This cute set of 5 shopping bags could solve my problem. From the great store, Violet, these “Leave No Trace” shopping bags are quite stylish and will roll up to conveniently fit in your purse. Each bag holds the equivalent of what two shopping bags could typically hold. That’s like having 10 bags!


Tripos – Chunk your camera

Triops Digital Camera
The digital photography industry has been booming non-stop for the past few years. That’s all well and good, but I feel like things have gotten a bit stale on the innovation side of things.

Industrial designer Franziska Faoro has seemingly felt this way too and has created a really unique new way to photograph life.

The Triops camera is a digital camera that’s built to take pictures via a trigger by sound, movement, or a manual release. Yes, the word “movement” is in there and yes that is a rubber padding on that photo of the product. You can throw this camera down the street, in the woods, underwater, wherever…it’s made to take a beating and capture things you couldn’t duplicate if you tried.

Unfortunately this isn’t in production yet. Let’s cross our fingers and hope it gets there.
