ASCII-LICIOUS

Designed by Nieke Sybrandy, these beautiful ASCII (American Standard code for Information Interchange) curtains would style up any geek-chic decor. I'm thoroughly impressed at how organic the tree branches look from a distance. Nice work!

WINTER JUST GOT A LOT MORE FUN

Snow Shorts are pull-on snowsuit over-shorts with a foam-padded PVC seat fused to the butt. This ridged plastic butt-plate allows you to slide down any snowy slope. Gone are the days of lugging a sled up a hill!

Snow shorts retail for $35 and don't you worry- they come in adult sizes too. Click here to get your own.
