The leafy green bottom teeny-tiny ceramic measures only 3.5" in height and has a diameter of only 2.25", but packs a ton of character. The white porcelain has black button prints and a rich green color with a nice glaze to lock it all in. Good for paper clips and other small items around the office, or even a nice decorative touch.

This 100% cotton screen printed cushion cover features a "snotty" little forest crowded bird high-up in the sky with pink-colored side piping. The cushion is available in a multitude of colors, but I'm a big fan of the chocolate/pink combination. This 16"x16" cushion cover retails for SGD $19.20 (approximately $13.15 USD).

We've pimped retro mama's stuff in the past and felt it was time to do it again. In the spirit of the holiday season, a nod to her plush pear holiday ornament would be a perfect post. The pear features pale pink and green roses and rose damask. The stem and leaf are wool felt and a white ric rak ribbon hanger completes the package. You won't find this kind of stuff at your local Target.

We came across this real nice looking fire pit at Yardiac.com and couldn't wait to share it with you. The Solano Fire Table is customizable to three granite colors and two base colors. It offers a choice of gas logs or fireglass, which is our personal favorite. The table top is 1 1/4 inch thick granite and the base is 42" heigh x 41" wide x 30" deep. It weighs 575 pounds so it will be hard to move around, but this is the kind of thing you keep in one place for a long time. The construction of these units seems rigid and we like the fact that the base is powder coated, which will protect it from the harsh outdoor weather.

These fire pits are great for patio and pool areas and will liven any party, specially in those cold winter months.This particular model sells for $2,599, but there are other models at different prices ranges.

Ok, you got us: we are all a bunch of geeks and love these kinds of products. The Light O Rama is a must have for the Christmas junky that must have the best Christmas display in their neighborhood.

Sit back and imagine a synchronized light show to your favorite Christmas tunes at your home. Are you done imagining? We know what you are thinking, you probably have no programming experience and think, well it'd be cool but I can't program for squat. No problem. The guys at Light O Rama created a software that you install on your PC, which makes it real easy to program your light extravaganza visually. That's what makes the process easy. You can even download a demo of the software before you purchase to try it out.

So how much does it cost? There are different products at different price ranges, but the one that caught our attention is the 16 channel starter kit, which retails for $419.00. This particular unit can provide enough power to control a 9,000 mini-light display.

Anyway it's always better to see what this stuff can do, so here are two videos taken from Light O Rama's website to show you what its all about.

Enjoy!
