Hot In The Hive: Thermos-Minis by Crea Crea And Crescioni Vanina!

Ida Hsiang on Jul 20, 2009 6:21 AM PDT

You almost wouldn't expect something so whimsically designed and sweetly packaged from the seriously sophisticated and cynically chic French! Just to prove that they are always unpredictable and one-step ahead, French designers Crea Crea and Crescioni Vanina are introducing Thermos-minis! These cute little drink containers are the baby-siblings of the huge, heavy, stainless steel versions that my dad lugs around in order to save money on coffee. They are obviously smaller, but still hold enough that you won't be left wanting more caffeine after drinking the last drops. These Thermos-minis hold about 8 oz of whatever drink you want... hot, cold, or spiked (just kidding). Besides keeping a good temperature on your drinks (because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Thermos), these Thermos-minis also come in an array of fun and colorful designs and patterns. Personalize your morning pick-me-up by choosing anything from Asian-inspired floral patterns to multi-colored dots and shapes! There's even ones that resemble a tiny man or an umbrella toting frog! All the designs are different, but all are whimsical, care-free and full of bright color. Their size allows you to pop them into a purse or tote, or to throw into the backseat of a car. No more cookie-cutter, silver steel thermoses that need their own carrier just to transport them around!

Price: $38.00

Gifts For Your Funny Father

Amber Fijolek on Jun 8, 2009 2:25 PM PDT

Daddy taught you how to ride your bike, color inside the lines and how to tell a joke. There's a lot of learning that comes with growing up, and without Pops teaching you that laughter is the best medicine, rolling with the punches just wouldn't have been the same. Come Father's Day, the master of fun and funny is about to get rewarded for being Dad Of The Year, and if not for being the caring and courageous man that he is, he'll be thanked for putting the "fun" in family. Give your old man a taste of his own medicine this Dad's Day. Mr. Goofball's been in charge for delivering gags-o-plenty, so if the chuckle he unwraps this holiday is from you, he'll know he's raised you kids right. Upstage the ties and power tools of your siblings by giving the Funny Man what he really wants -- a good laugh!

Ida Hsiang on May 14, 2009 6:22 AM PDT

LEGOs have been a staple childhood toy for so many generations and they always bring back nostalgic and happy memories for me. What else gives me happiness? Dessert. Now there is a way to combine the two for ultimate fun-time ecstasy with the LEGO Cake/ Jelly mould. Use them like any other cake pan and build cool creations for parties or potlucks! Each mould allows you to make six individual cake treats for a fun and unique portable dessert, or make a few batches and let your creativity go! Make a simple LEGO cake fort, or build an entire castle (just make sure there are friends around to help you eat it)! Add food coloring to the batter to make then look even more like gigantic LEGOs and you, your friends and your kids can all have a delicious and innovative dessert time from your very own kitchen. These moulds are microwave and oven safe and you can use them again and again for only $14.99. The possibilities are truly endless, just like actual LEGOs, and you can take you cake and jelly creations as far as your imagination will take you! Adorn finished desserts with the actual tiny LEGO men-- just be careful not to eat them!

Price: $14.99

Recession Chic: Bold, Cute Ear Candy For Cheap!

erin atkinson on Feb 5, 2009 5:16 AM PST

When money is tight, it can be hard to stun your peers with your stellar fashion sense. Well, fashion is like a chameleon-- it changes quickly, and adapts to everything around us, so when your fashionista within needs a good pick-me-up but you've got little money to spend, what do you do? First and foremost, focus on accessories! No matter where you go, when it comes to shopping for earrings versus shopping for a dress, it's the latter that will likely cause your ATM card to groan more. My favorite things to add to rejuvenate any outfit are bold earrings, and whether they're big, colorful, or just downright weird, there's always the perfect earring out there to make any outfit complete- and plenty of cheap, cute options at that. Check out my slideshow to find plently of modestly priced ear candy that's guaranteed to make any outfit!
