Bears, foxes and owls are all around us. Can’t see them? Try looking in your tea. They’re probably just holding their breath, having a good old soak at the bottom of your teacup.

Australian-based graphic designer Kevin Finn founded DESIGNerd in mid-2010. The label recently brought out their first range of products: the DESIGNerd 100+ Design Trivia Games. I happened to be the very first person to purchase the games and have fallen in love with them. They’re loads of fun and a great way to promote design education for both students and professionals.

I am not one to have a calendar hanging on any wall anywhere in my house but these Poladariums are a must-have for 2012. Only 88mm x 108mm, they feature 366 Polaroids taken by various artists and there is a little inscription on the back of each page with more information. These tear-off calenders are published by Seltmann & Söhne in Germany but available worldwide.

Hello, Loris and Livia’s Tipsy Glasses. We know you weren’t always this slushed. Do you remember a time when you were bright and shiny 250ml Duralex Picardie glasses? Then you got mixed up in some heated kiln and had a meltdown. You obviously need to get better at holding your liquor. Here, drink up.

Corkers are little animal appendages that you can affix to wine corks to make them into little cork creatures. They come in monkey, deer, buffalo, bear, bunny, and crow.

Published by Process is a Melbourne-based publisher of the quarterly publication Process Journal, which is by far one of my favourite Australian design magazines. Not only is the content wonderful, but the execution and design of every issue is created to the highest standards. The magazine is an essential piece for every designer’s library.

Shouldn’t every home device be aesthetically pleasing? Yes, a smoke detector is a necessity, but why does it have to be such an eyesore? Winner of the Mooi uit de Brand design competition, this life-saving birdy has just been approved for sale in the United States.

The Japanese seem to be able to push their creativity where everyone else opts to stop, whether for lack of courage or.excess of good taste. Would you walk around with one of these food iPhone covers? Probably not, but you still can’t help being mesmerized by them.

Spray paint is the quickest way to update something, create artwork, or paint a mural without breaking the bank. I have always liked Montana Paints, in particular, because they have such a great range of colors and have branched out to release markers, sketchbooks, and other accessories. They have a greater selection of specific colors that sets them apart from the rest.

This Giselle Lounge Table design by Saint Petersburg-based Anna Neklesa is inspired by that great Russian tradition of Ballet. She worked with a factory in France in order to ensure that the table passed stringent stress tests, pretty neccessary given it’s somewhat out there leg shape.

For the person who has everything, there is this: the full manuscript of Moby Dick typed on toilet paper. So now you can luterallyt wipe your ass with one of the greatest books of our time. All for only US$999.95. A steal.

We all have our little quirks. Mine is for stylish carry bags that won’t let me down if my purchase is a bit heavy. So when I came across the Averli Wine Up products then I couldn’t be more thrilled. Indestructible polypropylene and soft rubber melted together to safely wrap any bottle shape. Apart from its practicality and sturdiness, what I really love is the great design. No matter how bumpy the road or how crowded the bus is I can carry my wine with me without having to worry someone or something will break the bottle.

Brave Space Design has come out with a series of modular shelving units inspired by Tetris. They’re made out of sustainably grown bamboo.

MakerBot just unveiled their new 3D printer model with a bigger print surface and the ability to print two colors at the same time. At $2,000 it’s not quite in everyones price range but if you’ve got the cabbage, how awesome would it be to have this new toy on your desktop?

What do you get when you mix the cool vision of David LaChapelle and Amanda Lepore? Time Tranny. With our electric devices making wrist watches a thing of the past, I love the idea of keeping it old school. I even wear my watches with the face of the watch on the inside of my wrist.

If you’re like me and it takes you altogether too long to read the time on an analogue watch, and you think digital clocks are a little unsophisticated, then you will love this new clock by Doug Jackson. Simple elegant and too easy to read.

Carrier Pigeon is a magazine of illustrated fiction and fine art, which gives creative control to the artists. It deconstructs the singularity of each artistic discipline, setting new standards for their successful merging, and provides contributing literary and visual artists with a venue for telling independent stories with unconditional freedom in both subject matter and the interpretation of text.

Anyone who buys a $450 brass middle finger is basically saying f*ck you to poor people, right? I mean, just so we’re clear, that’s the meaning of this item, right?

These oversized pencils are made of Parmesan cheese and have ‘lead’ that contains the flavours of truffle, pesto and chilli. The product, made by German ad agency Kolle Rebbe, even comes with a sharpener. The perfect talking point for a stifled dinner party conversation.
