Spice up your living room decor with the UpCycle Ottoman ($425). This 18-inch square foot cushion is upholstered with repurposed jute bags that were previously used to transport organic coffee beans, logos, stencil print, and all, making each and every one unique. Granted they aren't likely to match your current furniture, but as conversation pieces, they're hard to beat.
SaveNot content getting your shave or haircut in your kitchen chair or over the bathroom sink? Get an authentic barber shop experience at home with the Collins Commander Barber Chair ($2,200). It features a gas cylinder-controlled reclined back with ball bearings, solid maple arms and footrest support with mahogany finish, a removable headrest, and an oversized polished chrome hydraulic base. Cheaper alternatives exist for those with the space for a setup but not the budget, and if you're looking to go even more authentic, pick up a Marvy Barber Pole ($650), the likes of which have hung outside local barber's for more than six generations.
SaveThe words "recliner" and "modern furniture" don't always play well together, but they do just fine as describers for the Room & Board Juno Recliner ($2,000). Made from top-grain, full-aniline dyed leather, the Juno strikes a striking pose when upright, and reclines to a nap-inducing depth of 62 inches. Sure, it's not the best bargain in the world, but $2K isn't outlandish for a leather recliner, and the Juno's good looks and solid build quality will help ease any strain you feel on your wallet.
SaveNo matter where you plan to sit or what you plan to do once you get there, Herman Miller Setu Chairs ($580) will keep you comfortable. Designed with a breakthrough kinematic spine that bends and flexes with you without the need for adjustment, the Setu is one of the simplest and easiest office chairs we've ever come across. With an instruction manual that simply reads "sit down," the chair is a welcome change amongst the sea of office chairs with knobs, controls and levers for precise adjustment. Sometimes, you really do just want to sit down. The Setu is available in a wide variety of styles and colors to fit into any decor, whether it's the boardroom or your bedroom.
SaveAs flat-screen TVs look more and more like works of art, why not give them a proper display on the TV Easel ($1,000). Built from solid hardwood to hold televisions up to 60 inches, the TV Easel also features a height-adjustable design, integrated component storage and wire management, a hand-applied, four-step antiqued ebony finish, and the ability to double as, well, an easel, for artwork, mirrors, or other display items.
SaveGet yourself a stand worthy of your scratching skills with Rodriguez DJ Tables ($3,000-$3,900). Made from solid wood, brushed stainless steel, and hand-applied veneer, each table is customizable with as many pedestals and spaces as you need, all featuring circular shapes that pay homage to all that vinyl you've accumulated. [Thanks, Dave]
SaveLike a gold-plated beer helmet, the Leather Butterfly Chair ($250) is a classy update of a not-so-classy item. It retains the foldability of the original, but features a sturdier metal frame, a protective carrying bag, and a brown leather chair cover, which is sure to look better in your hacienda than the standard issue fabric model.
SaveWhen looking for furniture, it's not always easy to find both comfort and clean, modern lines — but the Leman Stainless Steel Lounge Chair ($1,040) delivers on both. Built around a brushed stainless steel frame, the chair features plump, resilient cushions packed with foam and a solid wood piece for added support and comfort, as well as an included extra back cushion for even more luxurious lounging.
SaveYou might not be able to pilot the Enterprise in real life, but at least you can feel like it in the James T. Kirk Captain's Chair ($2,900). This full-scale replica of Kirk's captain's chair from the original Star Trek TV series is constructed from the original design conceived by Matt Jefferies, and is limited to only 1,701 units. Features include a wood and steel platform, leather seat and back with oak arm rests, 360-degree swivel action, and various toggle switches, knobs, and buttons from the series, some of which play classic Trek dialogue or sound effects through the seat's built-in speaker.

SaveIt's becoming a little difficult to find a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on the market, so why not add a bit of his style to your existing place. With individual serial numbers, Wright's signature engraving, and a price to match, the Frank Lloyd Wright Sofa ($6,500) and Recliner ($4,500) feature the tasteful restraint, clean lines, and expert craftsmanship you'd expect from a product carrying Wright's name. The master architect designed these officially-licensed pieces in 1912 for the William B. Greene House in Aurora, Illinois; these pricey reproductions are made from solid oak, with a walnut stain and caramel leather upholstery.
SaveFrom the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax, aloe vera oil, Vitamin E acetate, and other ingredients, all while offering a subtle bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy.
SaveMost of us don't have the engineering, design, or architectural chops to recreate any of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterworks, but we can anyway, thanks to these new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego Architecture Building Sets ($TBA). Licensed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, these terrific sets — of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater — were developed in collaboration with leading architects to be as accurate as possible, and come with booklets that not only tell you how to build you own model masterpiece, but exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each building, as well. [Thanks, Kris]
SaveEver wish you could combine your dual-monitor setup into one behemoth display? Get ready, because your wish has come true in the NEC CRV43 Curved Widescreen Display ($8,000). Boasting a unique curved design that's sure to immerse you more than a standard two display setup, this beauty also features a 2880x900 double WXGA resolution, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, single link DVI-D and HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 ports, an on screen display, and the assurance that you have the most unique monitor in the neighborhood.

SaveEver wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.
SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated real-world version packs a slightly sweet, slightly tart blood orange flavor and a rich red color that will have guests wondering if you're drinking the real thing.
SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.
SaveTempted by the MINI's go-cart handling, but not a fan of its boxy exterior? The MINI Coupé Concept ($TBA) is for you. Ready to accept any of MINI's powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept back windshield, short contrast roof, hidden B-pillars, and more sexy than every other modern MINI combined.
SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.

Terrorism. Murder. Blood. Bullets. Darkness. This is the G.I. Joe cartoon you've been waiting 25 years for. G.I. Joe: Resolute ($14) is a new animated mini-series featuring classic Joes and Cobra operatives that's sure to make the live action movie look even more like a turd. Aimed at older viewers, and garnering standing ovations at JoeCon Comic-Con, Resolute consists of 11 episodes (ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale) totaling 60 minutes. We won't tell you the plot, but let's just say Cobra Commander goes totally apocalyptic on Moscow. In the first four minutes. Can someone please start a petition to turn this into a regular weekly series? Oh, and don't forget the toys.
SaveWhat good is a portable hard drive if you're afraid to take it anywhere? With the Hitachi SimpleTough Hard Drive ($100-$135), you simply grab your data and go. Featuring a rugged body with grippy rubber sides and a smooth rubber body, the SimpleTough can withstand drops of up to 7 feet and also offers underside lighting and an integrated USB cable, giving you one less thing to remember when packing for your next spy mission.
SaveHaving a big-ass tool set is all well and good, but when you can have the most popular sockets on hand in just one tool, why bother? The Black & Decker Ready Wrench ($30) offers exactly that, with 16 of the most popular sockets — in both standard and metric — on rotating heads on either end of the tool, ready to replace both one- and two-inch deep sockets. With a rubber grip for added comfort, it'll let you save the big tool set for those really tough jobs — like assembling Ikea furniture.
SaveSimplify the process of installing the apps you want on your Windows machine with Ninite. This awesome free service lets you choose from a range of applications, plug-ins, utilities, and other goodies that might normally take hours to download separately, with a "Get Installer" button at the bottom that will do all the heavy lifting for you, creating a simple, one-step app that will install all of the software you chose in one fell swoop. Good for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
SaveWe've seen plenty of not-so-hot iPhone cases that have tried to tack wallets on as an afterthought, but this is the first time we know of it's been done the other way around. The Hard Graft Phone Card Wallet (€79; $120) is a slim, front-pocket style credit card wallet that's built with such strong elastic tape that it can also hold a phone inside for a decidedly less-slim solution. Other features include grey vegetable tan leather construction, seven card slots, and measurements that happen to hold an iPhone perfectly.
SaveInfinity pools have been around for a while, so it only makes sense someone would apply the same idea to another home-sized water feature: the aquarium. ZeroEdge Aquariums ($600 and up) do exactly that, providing overflowing aquatic environments for all types of fish and sea creatures in a variety of styles and shapes, ensuring you can find one that's right for your home or office. Just remember: no edge equals no lid, so be sure to keep the Darla-types away. [Thanks, Brian]
SaveIf you're into gadgets, and if you're reading this that's highly likely, then you no doubt have several SD and/or microSD cards laying around — so turn them into USB drives using the LaCie DataShare ($13). The DataShare breaks into two halves — red for SD and white for microSD — that fit together to form one solid, easily-portable storage solution.
SaveWe're quite used to seeing tons of tools crammed into a pocket knife-sized package, but it's not everyday you see the same thing done to an axe. The Brook & Hunter Mo-Tool Axe ($40) brings the handyman heat with a capable axe blade and hand-crafted red oak wood inlay handle, plus a hammer head, screwdrivers, knives, a can opener, wire cutter, file, pliers, and a wrench.
