The Fishbowl Lightbulb. So many of us try and make our apartments stand out in the sea of oppresive New York real estate. You've almost got to convey personality per square foot, since it's more than common to not have a ton of room. This lightbulb as fishbowl is the perfect start to reflecting NYC eclectic in your living space. Because who would think that the bulb can function as both art and habitat? It's creative and resourceful. We always thought fun with lightbulbs stopped at, you know, providing light.

A serious upgrade from star and heart cookie-cutter shapes, this revolver-shaped egg fryer mold makes your sunny-side-up a little more badass.  The mold can also be used for baking, so forget lame gingerbread men, and whip up a batch of gingerbread guns to spread holiday cheer this year.

The Wingscapes BirdCam. If you've been dying to reveal the inner bird stalker in you this is the camera that lets you do just that. It's motion activated and even lets you take photos with a remote control! If you aren't sure who to buy this fabulous gift for, Stanley wants to let you that he could totally take full advantage of the BirdCam. More story below... More»

The War Bowl. Simko spotted this cool bowl, where the artist juxtaposes childhood nostalgia with the horrors of war. It's whimsical, but gets you thinking. If you are feeling creative, avoid trying to reconstruct the piece, yourself. We thought we'd surprise Stanley by throwing his toy soldier collection into a frying pan, with a very different result. A smoky one. And Stanley has locked himself in his room. I guess he was really attached to those little guys.

The Love/Hate Reflection Shirt.This shirt is so great - looking at it straight on it says "Hate," but a mirror reflection displays the word, "Love." Magic! It suits your every mood (how New York: we're all about being frenemies with friends, jobs, the gym, the city...), and comes in cool colors like, "sangria." What a clever piece of clothing, and ideal for starting up conversation. More»

The Hand Decorated Sofa. We can't believe we didn't think of this! White sofas are boring, but also generally less expensive than patterns. What better way to spice up a neutral (and what a fun party idea) than to get your friends all liquored up, supply them with pens and let them explore their inner creative genius? Kelly Bensimon and Pamela Bell have been coloring their sofas for months now.. More»

The Camper Bike. Kevin Cyr is the Brooklyn based artist behind this functioning sculptural piece. Not only inventive and useful, we can't get over how funny it would be to see one stopping city street traffic, or to tell a friend we'll bike over and roll up with the mini home in tow. Maybe fill with party supplies for an impromptu summer stoop soiree. An alternative to couch surfing? A summer house on wheels? The possibilities are endless. [How To Buy A Bike in NYC]

Aviator Sunglass Pillowcases. The lives of scene-sters can be summed up as the daily pursuit of being cool, the definition of which changes faster than a New York minute. If you wear your sunglasses at night (metaphorically, if you actually do then you're annoying), then these pillowcases are perfect for you! Simple, dramatic, a little Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-esque, they might be just the thing to step up your bedroom karma, and who couldn't use that?

The Flip Flop Stemware Coasters. We here at GofG know how embarrassing it is to have your drinks running around barefoot, but never fear; we have a solution! The Flip Flop Stemware Coasters will keep the bottom of your glass nice and dry , the bright individual colors help you keep track of your drink as the night parties on, and, best of all, is one awesome accessory no matter where you are.

Summer time means BBQ time, and the The BBQ Meat Branding Iron gives a whole new meaning to "there's a steak here with your name on it!". But you aren't limited to just writing your name...the iron comes with "moveable type" letters and numbers. Freak your guests out by branding fake expiration dates or Mad Cow quarantines. It's fun to play with your meat!

The Spiral Wine Cellar. Because apparently heaven is reached by going south, from any room in your house! We're really obsessed with this. You thought there was barely enough space to add a washer/dryer, but apparently you can have a sprawling, swirling wine cellar. This might rival your closet as the coolest extension of the home, and will also contribute to not only endless parties, but the jaw-dropping awe and envy of your guests. Every hour would be happy hour. More»
