DanYa Decker luxury candles are unique because of their signature wick. The ribbon-length wick helps release the scent faster and their wax (10%-20% fragrance) is about twice as potent as industry standard. Prices range from $35 to $102 depending on the size (3 oz. - 16 oz.) and category. Like a good parfum, the candles are comprised of multiple scents to create bottom, middle, and top notes.

milky.way
The following 360 degree panorama of the Milky Way is comprised of 37,000 images from 28 year old Rick Risinger. ((I insist you go to this link)) to understand the massive and incredibly awesome size and distances of outer space. As you zoom in and out, it's awe-inspiring yet depressing how small we are in the scheme of things. Found on Wired, you can check out the original article and interview by following this link.
personal.urinal
The Drop Urinal by Hidra is a follow-up to the Numi Toiler from Kohler featured earlier today. Also found on Trendir, the personal urinal is convenient, aesthetic, and saves water (be green while saving green?). Check it out on the Hidra website, call a plumber, and buy a bathroom addition that ends the "put down the seat" fight.
numi.toilet
The Numi Toilet from Kohler has it all.
Motion activated lid and seat. Advanced bidet functionality (adjustable wand position, water pressure, temperature, and spray pattern). Integrated air dryer. Deodorizer. Feet warmer. Illuminated panels. Music (mp3, FM radio). Touch screen remote. Magnetic docking station. User presets. Numi flush technology. Auxilary controls.
Found on Trendir, the design and technological masterpiece is available for $6,390 and comes with a touch screen remote that looks like an iPhone knock off. Would I put it in a living room with glass walls like the images below? No.
expressing.oneself
I'm not a fan of escalating an altercation but these cards are fun anyway. The Douche Cards, available on Orange 32 for $5/25, are a great way to be non-verbal when other communication fails. Found on The Fancy, the cards must be used with caution, as expressed by the comment of user ChrisMoore: hand it to the asshole in question and most likely get punched in the face :-p
shoe.shine
The Benny Brush by Stefano Giovannoni, found on The Fancy, is a great way to look nice when in a hurry. Unfortunately, I often shine my shoes at work because I forget in my rush out the door but this convenient shoe shine from Authentics would look great next to the shoe rack and inevitably provide a daily reminder. Obviously this won't provide a thorough shining but it gives you the day-to-day upkeep without the hassle.
identity.protection
The Embarrassing Photo Protective Sunglasses from Urban Outfitters were found on The Fancy and can be bought for a mere $12. In my opinion, the name of the sunglasses should reflect the celebrity-esque tendency to half-heartedly hide from publicity rather than capitalize on fears of embarrassment but they can be utilized for a variety of reasons. Unlike emo girl in the photo, maybe you can smile while wearing them.
