Decorating a kid’s (little or big) bedroom must involve something entertaining, that looks good and yet does not drive you insane when installing. Tough combination sometimes. And then of course you don’t want it to be TOO permanent, as inevitably they will change their interests. The Strawberry Shortcake girl’s room will have to be converted to a teenage hangout at some point. And little Bobby won’t always want to sleep in a room dominated with “Cars” characters. If your little ones are passing through a Star Wars phase we may have the perfect, unique solution for their wall(s).

A long, long time ago in a kids room far, far away came the Walltastic Star Wars Wall Stickers, £39.95 at Prezzybox. Characters literally jump out at you as the appliques are 3D. This is not your typical wallpaper nightmare either. Installing the stickers is actually a cinch. The mural comes in 12 numbered strips. Hang them, in order,using a little wallpaper glue in one corner to complete the work of art. You won’t hassle with glue everywhere and unbearable mess. Once up, don’t worry about mucky hands as a damp cloth will easily clean the scene. And plenty other characters and themes are available including Dora the Explorer, Peppa Pig and The Avengers. So if you are looking for a simple yet fun way to decorate the kid’s domain, invite some of their favorite characters in.

If you work in a decent sized building odds are that your air is recycled like crazy. Every try jogging up the stairs of an office building or tall hotel? After about 10 floors you feel a burn in your lungs attributed to the lack of humidity in stairwells. Imagine what the nasty air does to your system! Not to mention static. Yuck. Solutions.com has a couple options that will help you try to make the air more natural and breathable – one for the techno type and one for the artistic type.

You know the Boy Scouts – they want to make sure that they remain prepared at all times, as you can never quite tell just what might happen at a particular point in our current time-space continuum that requires you to react correctly to the situation. Having said that, not all key rings are created equal, and Thinkgeek makes sure this particular point is driven across with the $16.99 CRKT Knife Sharpener Key Ring. Yes sir, who would have thought that something as humble and ordinary as a key ring could come in handy during knife-sharpening emergencies?

This will not only hold the rest of your precious keys together, but will also double up as a multi-tool keychain. While it is full well capable of sharpening knives anywhere and everywhere you are, it will be unable to sharpen fabled metals like mithril and Wolverine would also be in a spot as it will not work on his adamantium-bonded claws. The other tools that make up part of it will Include a bottle cap opener, flat blade driver, and belt cutter.

One of our most popular posts in January was the iPotty, the children’s potty training toilet with built in iPad stand. Who would have suspected there were so many potty training apps out there!? CTA Digital carries the iPotty which received loads of press during CES. CTA also distribute a more adult version of a toilet tablet device. And I am willing to bet many of you will say ‘I need that.’

Take your iPad in the john or anywhere you may sit. Welcome to the iPad Pedestal Stand complete with a toilet paper roll holder. Face it, we take our tablets anywhere we have spare moments. Bathrooms are certainly not exempt. But rather than holding your iPad in your hands, go hands free! Set it up and sit back and…errr…relax. And of course you can store your TP too. Bend the stand any direction necessary – whether in the loo or not. The 10” gooseneck also allows you to adjust the viewing angle and orientation. And the chrome finish means it will fit any environment. iPad 2 and iPad (3^rd & 4^th gen) fit in the holder. The TP contraption is optional by the way. So the stand works wherever you need it. You, and your bathroom, can get hooked up with this holder on Amazon for $44.99.

I am quite sure that folks who live in a tropical country, where it is basically summer all year long, would not be able to identify with the kind of depressing fog descend on one’s mind, body and soul when winter arrives, and the day is shortened considerably. In fact, if one were to remain indoors all day long, working and hacking away on a computer keyboard, that kind of condition will also run the risk of annoying issues arising, especially during the aforementioned winter months. Bear in mind that the lack of sunlight as well as absence of nature will result in a naturally depressing effect, and while it is not possible to work on your notebook in the freezing cold by the lake, how about bringing the “outdoors”, indoors? This is just what Daniel Zeller thinks the doctor ordered, hence coming up with his Terrarium Desk.

The Terrarium Desk is the brainchild of Zeller, as it stemmed from his love for green products as well as his proclaimed desire to “green up my apartment.” After reading his fair share of creative content online while gaining inspiration from the creative efforts of other folks over on Pinterest, Zeller finally gained the relevant boost to come up with the Terrarium Desk. Zeller’s day job is a mobile app developer in Norway who spends plenty of hours at his desk, and this has fueled his determination to add some greenery to his working environment.

Apart from using regular, locally-sourced wood which was artificially aged using “a combination of a blowtorch, steel scrape and wood stain,” the Terrarium Desk comes with a tabletop made from tempered glass, and drawers on each side are made from regular cut glass. Within the Terrarium Desk lies plants like Hedrea Helix, Campulana Portenschlagiana, and other Ikea-sourced greenery. Watering is done once a month or so, making this an extremely easy piece of furniture to upkeep. It seems as though it is going to remain a personal piece of furniture, as Zeller is not ready to commercialize this idea just yet.
