Fortuntately, we've found a nice little loop hole: buying "outfits" for your iPod totally doesn't count, and you can pick something out that will also compliment your own look, like this nano case.

The Ping Pong Door! By Tobias Franzel. New Yorkers are very adept at maximizing minimal living space. The ping pong door takes the idea to new levels, consolidating a folding down sport court into a doorway. Just imagine the hours of fun and stress release you can have, not to mention save money on a gym membership - have you seen the arms on those crazy olympian pongers? This is only the beginning.

We REALLY like the idea of a misting tower: after all, spritzing yourself with Evian can get SO exhausting, and hiring someone to fan you with palm leaves can get expensive. A misting tower is the perfect gift for your high-maintenance pool buddy. And the plus-side of gifting this is that now when you hang out with your friend, you can reap in the misting benefits without actually having to be the freak who brings a portable misting tower to the rooftop of the SoHo house....

The Car Tent, for urban camping! You now have an answer for all those hippie granola types telling you the city is too busy, lacking nature-y (this is totally a word) things like camp grounds (I have to remind myself that, were this true, one would actually want to, ick, camp).

Yes, let's take a minute to think about that...look out for Club Stanley, coming soon!

GreenPoint: one square meter of land in Queensland, Australia! This summer, many of us are playing grateful guest at the summer house of a friend or relative. It is not easy to always mind our manners, or avoid spilling wine all over the brand new white carpet (sorry, Mom). More»

New York City in a bag! From the MoMA Store. What is greater than this? We bought one for Stanley so that he won't forget about us when he is off romping around in the Hampies this summer. Made from wood from sustainable forests and including eight city buildings and six cars, I can just see him reorganizing the pieces each morning after mixing his Bloody Mary and before heading off to the beach. If you can't spend every second in the Center of the Universe, it's nice to take a little reminder of it with you...

The Pillow Suit. We stumbled across this fashion item that brings a whole new meaning to dressing for comfort. Polish Designer, Maja Ganszyniec created "Pillows For Working Late": tie, collar, and sleeve pillows to keep you comfortable when you fall asleep working too late at the office. Working? Hmm...We think the suit should also be called "Pillows For Twittering, Facebooking, and Tumblring Late", even at the office. These wearable comfy cushions would make the perfect gift for your Nerd-Alerted pals.
