Why pack your lunch when you could stack it?

stackable lunch pot

If you aren’t a sandwich-and-chips-for-lunch person, you might like the Black+Blum Stackable Lunch Pot.  This reusable set of stacking bowls is reminiscent of the Tiffin food carriers, but it is much smaller than most Tiffins I’ve seen and is, therefore, more suited for a single person.  This kit has two phthalate-free and BPA-free bowls that

laser cut wood armrest

The LOHNtech store at Etsy has another idea for adding a stable place to set your drink without needing to add a table to your room.  Just lay the laser-cut arm rest table over the arm of your sofa or chair (or flat out on the sofa cushion beside you), and you can rest your

Just like all books, this book will illuminate your life

thinkgeek book light

You won’t be clipping this Book Light to the top of your hardcover book, but it will delight the book lover or the painfully-obvious pun-lover!  When turned off, it folds down to look like a black journal.  When you open the book, the “pages” fan open and the lights come on to provide accent lighting.

I’ve seen leather portfolios that hold a pad of paper and have a sleeve for tablets, but those have always been designed for 10″ tablets.  This offering from Leatherology actually holds a 12.9″ iPad Pro.  The portfolio measures  13″ X 10″ X 0.75″ thick and is made of full grain, pebbled Viridian leather that’s been
