To help Caribou Coffee launch its hot and fresh Daybreaker breakfast sandwiches, Colle+McVoy decided to heat things up a bit. They created ovens out of transit shelters, complete with real heaters and working clocks. They were able to showcase the “Hot ‘n Wholesome” menu items, while keeping Minnesotans during their frigid winter commutes.

I am loving these personalized typography bikes! I’ve been holding off buying a bike, and now I think I’ve found “the one”.
I wonder how my name would look all bent and twisted into a bike frame? Maybe it will be too long? Oh well, not to worry, I can always get it made tandem style

Interactive media artist Mio I-zawa has designed this strange umbilical cord iPhone charger, that squirms and comes to life while charging your phone. Strangely disturbing? Yes. Do you want one? Of course.

Many furniture brands claim to be “green” these days, but this table and stool set designed by Icelandic landscape architect Dagný Bjarnadóttir takes it to a whole new level. Furnibloom plexiglass furniture cleverly houses plants, spices, vegetables, or flowers for easy cultivation, and is perfect for aspiring gardeners who live in aparments lacking gardens and/or space!

I recently laid eyes on these cute little gingerbread houses that rest of the edge of your mug of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or any hot beverage! I’m not even that into gingerbread and I still think they’re amazing.
You can find directions here on how to make your own little houses. I think they would also work with a shortbread mixture too. Can someone bake/assemble/send some to me? Thanks!
