Give the gift of imagination with Nugget furniture for kids

Nugget, at first blush, is a soft sofa for children. But it’s actually a flexible, portable, changeable set of cushions that transform from simple seating for playing video games to a play fort to a stage for rock-star performances to everything in between.  Nugget consists of lightweight pieces that can be rearranged in multiple shapes and in any room.  It consists of four separate foam pieces: two triangles, one soft seating piece, and one sturdy base piece. 

The foam used in Nugget is “CertiPUR-US certified to exceed safety standards. It’s mercury, lead, and formaldehyde free, and VOC’s are minimal to protect indoor air quality.”  They use no fire-retardant chemicals, but the Nugget still passes California’s TB-117 fire safety regulation.  You can clean the covers with a spray of fabric or carpet cleaner, but they can be machine washed when needed.

Nugget is available in a solid color, or you can mix-and-match colors for each of the four pieces.  Regardless of your color selection, Nugget is $229; purchases of multiple units nets you a discount, too.

Organize yourself with the new Bellroy Work Folios

I’ve been thinking about adding a folio to my arsenal. I’m running to meetings all day long, and there’s something to be said for having all your paper and electronic doodads readily at hand so you don’t have to fumble around in your bag. 

Bellroy has built a reputation for innovative design using premium materials in small carry products, so I’m excited to see how this translates into their new folio designs. Two sizes are available: the A4 size will accommodate up to 8-1/2″ by 11″ (A4) papers/notebooks and a full-sized tablet, while the smaller size will accommodate  5.8″ by 8.3″ notebooks (like a Moleskine) and an e-reader or small tablet. Additional pockets will wrangle your phone, business cards, headphones, and other assorted bits.

After my recent review of one of Bellroy’s new bag designs, I’m sold on the quality of their products. The leather and materials are top notch, and construction is immaculate. And they look amazing. The Bellroy folios retail for $199 (A5 size) or $299 (A4 size). It looks like they *might* not ship in time for the holidays, but they’ll be worth the wait. Check them out at Bellroy’s web site.

Blade is the newest time machine from Tokyoflash Japan

Tokyoflash Japan’s newest entry in their line of cool, futuristic-looking time pieces is the Blade Carbon Fiber LED Watch.  The design is inspired by the blades of a turbine engine.  Blue, green, or red LEDs rotate behind the lens to mimic the movement of the blade.  The case is made of carbon fiber, and the band has a “carbon fiber effect”.  Time is displayed in either turning or flashing mode.  Turning mode shows the blades “turning” with three stops to highlight the hour position and the minutes positions.  Flashing mode looks more like an analog watch face, with the hour indicated by a lit position and the minutes displayed by a flashing position plus lighted dots.  Blade also has date and alarm functions.

The Blade Carbon Fiber LED watch is recharged via USB.  It is available at Tokyoflash Japan for $169 (€152, £137), including free 5-day worldwide shipping.

It’s holiday sale time at Timbuk2 where you can save up to 40% off on cool bags!

If you’ve been holding out on your next bag purchase, your patience may have just paid off. Timbuk2 is in the middle of a huge holiday sale. The sale runs through December 13, and specific offers change daily. Today’s offer is up to 40% off of their best sellers, but I have seen different offers come across the past few days. You may want to check in periodically if you’re looking for something in particular. 

Timbuk2 bags dominate my collection. I probably have 10 different styles of backpacks and messengers that I have collected over the years, and I always recommend them to friends and family for their durability and functionality. They make something for just about everyone. When they do sales, they go big… at these prices, it’s hard to go wrong if you’re looking for a gift for the holidays! Go to Timbuk2’s web site for more information.

Organize your closet, suitcase, or office with EZSTAX

EZSTAX is a set of interlocking plastic trays that can organize your life.  You can use a stack to separate and keep folded shirts neat.  And you can even use the EZSTAX tray as a folding pattern for the shirt, so you’re sure the shirt will fit the organizer.

Put the loaded EZSTAX inside a dresser drawer or on a closet shelf, and your shirts stay neatly stacked even as you flip through them to find just the right shirt.  You can even put an EZSTAX inside your suitcase to keep your shirts neat and wrinkle-free for travel.  Or you can use them to neaten and organize files in your office.  Stacks of papers stay separated in the organizers, and you can easily page through the stacks or spread out the stacks as you work.

EZSTAX are made of recycled rPET plastics.  They come in two sizes.  The regular size is 13.5″ X 11.5″ X 2″ for a set of 20; this size fits well with most standard-sized shelves and dressers.  The small size is 9.9″ X 12.3″ X 2″ and is designed for smaller clothing and smaller spaces.  A set of 20 EZSTAX of either size is $22; discounts are available for bulk purchases.
