top five, number one: hungarian baby not included
Without fail, I get at least three hits a day from the Google phrase “hungarian baby bathtub.” I’m not surprised, because Hungarian baby bathtubs are the apotheosis of useful; I ice mine once per year, when I stock it with cheap vodka and cheaper bubbly for my December birthday bash.

I’m categorizing this under Splurge-day Thursday because, while the price for this Hungarian baby bathtub isn’t outrageous, it remains, well, a Hungarian baby bathtub, with limited application beyond bathing Hungarian babies and icing cold drinks. Really, Hungarian baby bathtubs shouldn’t be more than $20, but apparently Garnet Hill didn’t get that memo. (Tangential note: How did Garnet Hill discover this stash of “vintage” bathtubs? Was J. Peterman somehow involved?)
Despite its limits, I still want one; the Hungarian baby bathtub reminds me of my best friend’s wedding, where we grabbed beers from a frosty rowboat on her deck, only this is the all-grown-up, now-we-drink-champagne version.
