A great idea if you have a garden: a multipurpose igloo designed both as a winter garden and a summer sitting or playing area. Oh, I know my kids would go crazy with this! Of course you could just turn it into a storage room or a garden shelter, but it’s a shame because it looks too good.

The Nesting Shelf by Nendo, is described as: “A shelf that, from within, a second shelf of the same size seemingly grows outward.”
The Nest shelves have the amazing ability to double in width, making them ideal for any small and large space. The construction of the piece is based on an ultra-thin horizontal section, that slides inside the outer shelving. When expanded to its fullest the shelf doubles in size. How come nobody ever thought of this before?

Now that we are proud owners of a cat, this caught my attention. Obi is a beautifully designed fun toy for cats. It is a device that sits on a shelf but when activated, it projects a laser light on the wall, that makes cats go wild trying to “catch” the light. Although quite expensive, it’s worth checking out its Kickstarter campaign.
Ever wish you could unsend or edit an email that’s already been sent? So many times I have accidentally clicked reply all, or have sent to a wrong recipient, or realized I have sent an important email with mistakes! unSend.it apparently allows users to unsend or edit any email after it’s been sent (even after being opened by the recipient). I have not tried it, but I am intrigued by the Self-Destruct option! There must be a catch somewhere…
(This is not a paid ad, I just get enthusiastic about some products!)
I find these wooden fridge magnets adorable. They are handmade in Lithuania by mielasiela.
I would not imagine that someone could come up with such an idea, but the Nivea Doll is a clever one to help kids understand the importance of sunblock use. Part of a Nivea campaign, this doll is made with UV-sensitive material and actually sunburns when it is exposed to sunlight without protection! The child has to put sunblock on the doll to prevent it from turning pink.
It’s a shame because apparently it is not yet a product that parents can actually buy, so can someone please take this idea and make it reach the general public?

I just love the work of Emily McDowell and this tote bag is no exception.
I love the simplicity of this wooden clock by Makers & Brothers.
I have seen that, when I often sit down and start colouring with the kids, it has a therapeutic and calming effect on me. So I was intrigued to see these A1 colouring posters for adults by The School of Life. Illustrator & typographer Sarah A. King was commissioned to illustrate the words of Marcus Aurelius from “Meditations”.
