Target GiftCards are ALWAYS the raddest. This one particularly made me smile; a mini foam finger by David Schwen.

Christopher Wallace’s drawing tools of choice are a bicycle and GPS. His canvas of choice is his Baltimore neighborhood. First he plans his routes with something in mind (check out his free-style hydra and centaur), then he takes to the bike trail while tracking his movements using GPS. Geeky and awfully cheeky.

Wowwwwww…I LOVE this watch by Biegert & Fun. GORGEOUS and brilliant.
The Chef Sleeve for the iPad is a brilliant idea for cooks who read recipes off their iPads and are sick of trying to keep their fingers clean. I would totally get this for Brad, although he tends to read recipes off his laptop…
As part of The Pursuit Of (Cool) Documentary Series, R+I Creative sat down with Coltrane Curtis to talk about cool. “From the schoolyard kids to the marketers everybody wants to get close to the cool guy…so what defines cool?”
A smarter pizza box. It’s about time.
These Pantone tarts by Griottes are deliciously lovely. Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my computer screen, for real.
Dry erase ceramic ribbons. Best idea ever?
I love how you can just write whatever you want on these and keep using them again and again! Hilariously awesome. Wouldn’t you just wear yours every day and write like “Best Laugh” one day and then “Best Person in the World” the next day and then “Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking” the next day—and so on…
This beautiful mural painted on the facade of two abandoned old houses in Lisbon was created by Os Gêmeos (twins!), Blu and Sam3. I love how fantastical and fun the painting is; the artists’ unique style is perfect for this larger-scale piece. There are more photos of the whole process here.

I basically want all of these.
Gorgeous rejuvenated vintage typewriters from the 1930s, custom-painted in vibrant colors

Architect John Locke (NOT the wheelchair-stricken bald dude from LOST) repurposed now-obsolete phone booths across Manhattan into miniature public libraries. What a whimsical, unexpectedly joyful idea!
I so love this piece by artist Jimmy Marble. It’s available over at ReForm School.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by Moonbot Studios is flipping rad. At 15 minutes, it’s a long video but short film that’s beautifully animated. <3
