Mason’s Picks
- Irregular IQ cube from Think Geek: It’s an impossible rubik’s cube.
- The Elements of Typographic Style: A practical guide to typography. Finally.
- And of course, the His Dark Materials Trilogy
Emaleigh’s Picks
- City Slickers Bookends from Wrapables: Look! There’s a man walking through your books!
- Loretta Lux: German artist Lux combines painting, photography and digital imagery to create disturbing, fairy tale-like portraits of children. Very cool and strange. Perfect for any hip snob’s eclectic coffee table book collection.
- Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights: Hmm, good stuff. Download the title track here: www.myspace.com/sharonjonesandthedapkings
John’s Picks
- Mixtape USB Stick by SUCK UK: Seriously, how cool is that? (Also available at fredflare.com, which sorta deserves a mention in itself.)
- Threadless.com: Threadless is a t-shirt community. Plus, they have a big sale going on right now! $10 for a limited run, community approved t-shirt, on well fitting, high quality shirts? How can you say no?
- The Post Punk Kitchen: I haven’t checked out VEGANOMICON yet, but Vegan With a Vengeance is a fun, snarky cookbook with some of the best recipes ever for vegetarians and vegans (and I’d argue for omni’s too)!
Megan’s Picks
- Girls Rock Philly: Looking for a worthy cause for that holiday donation? Look no further than GRP, teaching girls to rock out, build self esteem, write their own songs, and hold their own with the boys any day of the week.
- 30 Rock – Season 1 : While the networks sink lower into their pit of reality TV rejects, catch up on one of the best current sitcoms. The combination of Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin is comedy gold.
- Sweeney Todd: Great adaptation or train wreck? As a huge fan of Sondheim’s musical, I’m skeptical – especially after reading that they cut “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd†– but I just have to see it.
Lyra’s Picks
- BeBePod Plus: For the baby who just can’t wait for balance to sit up, this little chair gives you a great view of what the adults are up to.
- Baby Faces: Who doesn’t like to look at faces of adorable babies?
- Animal Lamps: The perfect addition to a hip nursery, and only $20!
