Calvin Klein's Euphoria fragrance comes with gourmet chocolates this holiday season
If you like Calvin Klein and chocolate, you are going to be one happy soul. This 2009 holiday season you will find a complimentary box of Lake Champlain gourmet chocolates with Euphoria fragrance purchase. That's such a tempting offer. It's desirable in every way possible. Chocolate is euphoric, so this is pretty apt. You can also try the new Euphoria Edt fragrance which is a hit with celebrities like Giuliana Rancic, Molly Sims, and Kara Dioguardi.
Artist gives his house the checkered Burberry look
The check design is a big hit with me, but that only extends to my clothes and maybe some upholstery. I wouldn't dream of painting my entire house in this design. However, Jens Werner has spent thousands of pounds painting his house in checks. He has converted his home, a former public toilet building in Larvik, Norway into a "gathering place for happy people". He covered the outside of his house in this design over several weeks. I must say, the finished result is quite appealing and eye catching. It looks like a Burberry house.

Chill Pill spells convenience for your notebook
Most notebooks have a heating problem, I know mine did. I'm always on the look out for a solution to this problem. The Chill Pill which is a universal notebook stand that provides a more comfortable typing position and better air circulation while still being small enough to fit in your pocket is a good option. All you have to do is pull apart the two non-scratching anti-slip rubber halves and place them on the desk under your notebook. You can type more easily and your laptop stays cool as well. It is extremely convenient and a mobile option.
Melted Clock embedded in your satin sheet
Now you can have a clock right in your beautiful satin sheet. It's the Melted Clock, that is, a haptic, touch sensitive alarm with speakers and controls all embedded within your sheet. You will find that the three control icons are embroidered on the sheet and relevant to the operating elements on the outside edge of the bed sheet. You won't even feel the clock, the parts are very tiny. Also, the alarm will go off right in your ears and you can't get away from it. I was worried about washing such a sheet, but apparently that is easily done as well.
Chocolate Sofa looks delicious
As a kid, I always dreamt to stumble upon a candy house like that from Hansel and Gretel. I haven't come across one yet, but I've found the next best thing. That is a sofa made entirely out of chocolate. It's very elaborately done and honestly, the chocolate looks like leather. I'm craving to bite into it. Marina Abramovic, Mickalene Thomas, Leandro Erlich, and Rob Wynne worked with some of New York's most celebrated pastry chefs to produce the cakes for the event, Let Them Eat Art. I certainly like art that can be eaten.

Fuji Instax Camera prints pictures to fit your wallet
I'm not the biggest fan of instant photos, but who can resist this cute white Fuji Instax Camera? It's adorable, but maybe just a little chunky. It prints cute wallet-sized pics that have the classic thick border popularized by Polaroid. In case you don't like pictures this size, stick to other cameras. The Instax has a wide-angle lens, a built-in flash, and four exposure settings. Nothing fancy here, just basic features. You can buy the camera here for $90.

Home bath bomb making machine is here
There's a new toy coming out soon that is a bath bomb maker. Don't worry, it's nit as ominous as it sounds. These are harmless and aromatic bombs. They will add fragrance and bubbles to your bathing experience. The main ingredients in bath bombs are baking soda and citric acid and you only need to add a touch of herbs, rose petals, essential oils along with water. Take these ingredients, put them in the ball, stir, compress and out comes the bomb. You can get it for $40 and wow your friends. This is perfect for explosive baths.
De-frost your hands with the USB Leather Heating Gloves
Winter is definitely here and my hands and feet get very cold. It's no good when your fingers freeze while you are typing out an important assignment or playing a game. The USB Leather Heating Gloves will come to your rescue in these times of need! The gloves have a warming pad inside that starts making your hands all warm and cozy when you plug it into a USB port. They are compatible with Windows, MacIntosh and any Game Consoles with USB Port. I like the cute fur lined look. The colors available are beige, pink, red and purple. You can get them for $20 here.
Unique mugs for caffeine fiends
If you like your coffee a certain way and the incompetent people around you can never get it right then you need the Drink Selector Mug that makes the task simple for them. It clearly lists exactly what you want on the mug itself, so they have no excuse for messing up your much need caffeine fix. You can get it here. The Snap Cups can be affixed together by means of the integrated metal clothing snaps which probably makes them easy to carry around, but I'm not convinced that it will be easy to pull apart the cups when they are full of your favorite hot beverage. Some of us like going camping and the Carabiner Mug is really handy for campers as you can simply attach it to your backpack. It's available here for $20.
Sony's Mills and Boon-themed Reader will set hearts on fire
I'm an avid reader and I can read almost anything. However, the Mills and Boon books have never caught my fancy in the least bit, in fact their over the top and cheesy romance can make me nauseous. But there are many fans of the romance genre out there and Sony is offering an exclusive limited edition model of the Reader Pocket Edition for them. This Mills & Boon Reader Pocket Edition includes three eBooks - exclusive to the model - as well as a voucher for ten further Mills & Boon eBook downloads. To keep in check with the theme, the color it comes in is a romantic shade of pink and it has the "iconic Mills & Boon rose logo" embossed on the cover. The three Christmas-themed Mills & Boon titles are, "Snowbound: Miracle Marriage", "Under The Boss's Mistletoe" and "Christmas Betrothals". The Mills & Boon Reader Pocket Edition will be available from Sony Centres. So it's time to bring out the tissues and jump into the corny world of romance as the heroes from the book sweep you off your feet.
Five Step Zip Belt makes you look slim and trim
Some of us have those extra pounds that just won't go away and we really need to hide them and appear like they don't exist. The Five Step Zip Belt gives you a slimmer look in 5 minutes that almost makes it seem like you've been hitting the gym for 5 weeks. The stretchable neoprene tightens trouble areas so you can comfortably fit into your favorite skirt or dress and those flabs disappear! So if there's a special event coming up that you need to look your best for, this is going to greatly assist you. A good feature is that the five zipper closures accommodate all stages of dieting. You can get it for $20 here.
Lashlight allows you to apply mascara even in the dark
I need a good mascara to start my day and Too Faced has come out with Lashlight. I think it's quite average except for the fact that it has LED lights in the base of the wand. So not only do your lashes grow long and thick with it, but you also have some light to guide you in the dark. The way Too Faced creative director and founder Jerrod Blandino explains it, he got the idea for the LEDs from the times he struggled to apply mascara to clients in dimly lit. I suppose it's good to be prepared. Too Faced also claims that “liquid crystalline particles” in the Lashlight formula act like microscopic mirrors, brightening up the eyes by reflecting light off and around the lashes. I think it's just a normal mascara at the end of it all though and doesn't do anything exceptional. But what else can you expect for $25? You can get it here.
