Dolls aren’t just for kids anymore. Grown-ups and kids at heart still enjoy the novelty of dolls, specially those that are designed in their image and likeness. One such doll is the Selfie Doll, which you can play with or display – although you’ll probably do both.

Why do things alone when you can do whatever it is with a friend? Checking out new phones, attending a comic con, picking out costumes for a party… It doesn’t even have to be an activity.

Scented greeting cards, cards that play a tune when they’re opened, cards with designs that light up… card makers have been upping up the ante season after season, Eat the Fine Print included. But this cardmaker has made something no other company has done yet (as far as we know, anyway): edible greeting cards.

Where’s a white board when you need one? When you gotta doodle, you gotta doodle, but you can’t just whip that pen out and start scribbling on the first surface you see. Or can you? That depends on whether or not that certain surface has been wrapped with this dry-erase film.

Now you can be alone even when you’re in a crowded room with the Nutshell. It’s a portable pod that you can expand to create your own little hideaway, wherever and whenever you feel like it.

Remember Lammily, aka the “Real Barbie doll”? Well, she just got a makeover, but not in the ways that you would expect. Instead of caking Lammily up in makeup or giving her lipo, her upgrade comes in the form of Lammily Marks.

Bulky pockets have never been and will never be in style. If you’re particularly OC and can’t bear to see all those smudges and fingerprints on your phone and tablet, then you probably have a microfiber cleaning cloth somewhere in your pocket or bag.

That feeling you get when you realize that you forgot someone’s birthday is just the worst. You can set alarms and have alerts pop up, but if it slips your mind, it slips your mind, so it’s better to have a back-up plan in place for when it happens.

Once you go sriracha, you can’t go back. Just a drop of sriracha hot sauce will give whatever you’re having an extra kick – a kick that you didn’t know it needed until you’ve tasted it.

Getting a letter in the mail brings upon a wave of emotion that doesn’t quite compare to what you feel when you get a new message in your inbox. This is something San Francisco artist Ivan Cash is well aware of, so he came up with the Snail Mail My Email project back in 2011 where he basically wrote and sent out emails people sent in to their intended recipients.

There are so many people on planet Earth, but sometimes, all you need is one. But if you’re far away from home and are down in the dumps, your best bet to get a hug or two or a cuddle, if you’re lucky, is through Cuddlr.

A picture speaks a thousand words, but so does a shadow. At first glance, Yaara Derkel’s Coppelius chair doesn’t look like much. Sure, it has fancy cutouts on the rest and on the seat, but nothing too interesting or detailed that you’d actually consider it to be art.

First, it was a cat. Now it’s gummi bears. But these huge 3-pound gummi bear candles are not what they seem. They’re undeniably cute, cuddly even if they weren’t made from wax. But the horror sets in once it starts burning…

Social media has made it easier for people to – for lack of a better word – spy on other people. Wondering where your ex went last night? Curious about your crush’s current whereabouts? Just go to their profile and check out the pics that they’re tagged in, which most likely has their location tagged, too.

Proper hygiene is key to decreasing the spread of diseases. It’s applicable for everyone, but it’s especially true for those working in hospitals and research labs. Cue the PullClean, a door handle with a built-in sanitizer dispenser so people can sanitize their hands as they walk past it or pull on it to get to another room.

Despite it sounding improbable, it’s actually a common scenario: You’re rushing off to the grocery to grab a couple of things, you’re hurrying to the bank before it closes – and you get that sinking feeling that you forgot something, but can’t quite remember.
