from our friends at TheFind: modern nightlights for peaceful slumber

Friday, October 16th, 2009

kids-nightlightsNow that my daughter is sleeping in a big-girl bed, we are in need of a newer grown up modern nightlight. The room is a fusion of vintage family heirlooms and modern storage pieces and a “Woodland” area rug from Pottery Barn Kids. I found three lamps/nightlights that put off a subtle glow to keep the room lit at night yet promote peaceful slumber through the night.

I love the adorable house design of the OXO Candela Roomi (top left, $29.99 at Amazon.com) because it is two lights in one. The unit’s charger has a luminescent panel that’s always lit, and the lamp lights up if the power goes out. The rechargeable lamp stays lit for up to 8 hours and is cool to the touch. Next the Grobag Egg Color Changing Thermometer ($24.99 at BabiesRUs) is an egg shaped nightlight that changes colors according to the current temperature in the room. The smart Grobag Egg nightlight glows red when it’s too hot, blue when it’s too cold, and yellow when it’s just right. I’m sure that all kids will get a kick out of the changing colors of this light as well. Another light that would be a sure fire hit at my house is the MyPetLamp Dachshund by Offi (bottom, $59 at RacksandStands.com). All kids go through an obsession with pets and my daughter is in that stage right now. A cute little puppy would be the perfect friend to keep her safe and secure at night.

custom portraits: tattoo you

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

vera-voodoo-custom-tattoo-style-pet-portraitsMy dog Lucy has a tattoo, a gift of identification from the South Florida animal shelter we collected her from 8 years ago.  She looks identical to this pup, complete with white patch on her chest and a forlorn attempt at a sneer.  Life on the streets makes you tough, yo.

doggy bag

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

wicker-pet-cruiser-basket-dog-bicycleI found this wicker dog basket for a friend from Chicago that was on the hunt for a bicycle seat for her pup.  I’d buy it for myself, but my dog would tip the front of my bike over, and my cat would look like popcorn pinging around in a hopper (check out this pic to see exactly what I mean).  So:  if you buy this, please send me a photo of you and your pooch at anna {at} misosouper.com, so we can all ogle your adorableness.

*Yes, I know it’s out of stock, but if you read the user reviews, it seems to be perpetually backordered.  Put your name on the list, and they’ll ship after the baskets are out of production.

gifts that are playful

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

holidaybuttonNot in the mood for love?  These gifts will bring out your cheeky side.

These animals will keep that library in line.

Mix your Mexican beverage metaphors and serve her up with a tray full of Negra Modelos.

My favorite martian.

Way creepier than playing poker with mirrored glasses.  A true objet d’art.

Why should Radiohead get all the rainbows?

A satisfyingly dramatic way to pass the days.

Now that the election is over, you need someone else to root for.

Lover, you should have come over.

My teenage cousin is obsessed with phone charms.  Here’s one (a miniature terrarium!) that doesn’t involve pink beads.

Perhaps my favorite item in the whole gift guide.  Perhaps the cheapest, too.

Do these derby critters remind anyone else of the Hummer soapbox derby kids?

Portable iPod karaoke sets bring joy to the world.

A daschund bag needs no commentary.

I warned you that I like small things writ large.

Yo to the yo.

This koi pitcher makes a lovely gurgling sound when it pours.

I’m thinking this tape isn’t fireproof.

Parrots are the new Rabbits.

Cleaning toilets probably isn’t what Pinocchio signed up for.

Unwrap it.  You know you want to.

What this sleek white instant camera lacks in vintage charm, it makes up for in features, like autofocus.  Plus, it hasn’t been discontinued, which is always a plus.  RIP, Polaroid.

And to think you were going to get them a Jawbone.
