So, you took the plunge and invested every last penny in a state of the art iPhone. Add a state of the art case to protect the treasured phone to the bill, and you might end up living in a cardboard box to afford a bit of technology. Luckily, Case-Mate's come up with a better idea: let the iPhone live in a cardboard box! For under a buck, your phone can be buffered from the blows of your daily life! The iPhone 3G/3GS Recession Case isn't waterproof nor fireproof, and the company urges caution in its use, as cardboard in the past has proven feeble, and offers no warranty (it's cardboard), but the real novelty is flaunting your sense of humor and poking fun at the state of our current economy. The ingenious protection device latches together with a simple, self-assembling, idiot-proof tutorial, and the site goes one step further to allow you to access a cut-out template of the case for a Do-It-Yourself Recession Case! Got a lot of funny friends? Case-Mate will personalize your case (even in authentic "Sharpie Script") at no additional cost! Do yourself a favor -- keep your iPhone safe, your wallet full, and your friends smiling with the iPhone 3G/3GS Recession Case!

Whether your guest room is an actual room with four walls or just a pull-out couch in a nook next to your kitchen, there's no reason you can't pamper guests with luxe items that will keep them thinking fondly of their stay at your elegant little abode. Heck, even an air mattress takes on a sheen of bling when outfitted in crisp, high thread-count linens (think Frette), but not all of the things that can turn your walk-up studio into a spa resort for a night or two require a serious cash spill. Fresh flowers in a sparkling glass vase do wonders for a small space, and a sweet little $13 kit of Burt's Bees bath and body products will make guests feel deliciously spoiled. Muji cardboard iPod speakers and a tote filled with current magazines--include a local magazine with reviews of new restaurants and shows-- will keep guests entertained when you're not around.
