We have to admit that when we first got our hands on this little guy by Pitgreen Micro Golf we thought he was questionable. But once we got him out of the box and into our hands, an entire day had passed and we were hooked. Even if you’re not an avid golf fan (you actually don’t need to like golf at all), you’ll get a kick out of this sophisticated toy. You don’t even need to know the rules, simply make them up as you go along (although, at some point you’ll need to put the little white ball into the hole). Some say this is a great way to keep idle hands busy when you’re on a wireless conference call.
That was last year, now - we are Pitgreen Pro’s by now - they have released their completely re-engineered version, with new sliders, a completely new green with a brass insert to have it sit solidly on the ground, 8 reworked tournament balls (less spin, more feel - no kidding) a 20 page magazine that talks about the Pitgreen story and shows all the limited editions, 4 reworked clubs and a sweet new packaging that show the guy off in all it’s splendor…
So what are you waiting for? Get both, the gold and the platinum version and head out for a little twosome (not what you are thinking, silly!)…
Colors: Platinum, Gold
Price: $129 / 99€

We brought you the credit covers a couple weeks ago, now they are back with new styles! So add some style to your wallet with these fabulous new credit card covers or check out the classic version here.
And if you haven’t heard of them before, here’s the introduction: OK, you’ve got the black amex, you feel like the Centurion, but boy does it feel weird when everybody looks at you like: oh, Bigshot just arrived…
To make sure you wont get that funny feeling in your stomach again when you whip out your plastic the next time, just get a couple of today’s Soupe and start dressing up your cards. It’s actually very similar to getting dressed, consider your card naked – yeah sexy thought, we know – and today’s Soupe allows you to ‘dress’ them to your hearts content. They come in a set of 2, so pick your 2 favorite designs and stick them right onto your Credit-, ATM-, Debit-, EC-, or whatever you might call your card around the world and you are ready to go. A superthin adhesive covers the ugly part, leaving the numbers and the name intact so you could even use one of those old machines if need be. The back with the magnetic strip remains untouched, but then again, who looks at the back of a credit card?
And yes, we’ve heard the question before, this is absolutely legal and doesn’t harm the card at all. And if you don’t like em anymore, get a new set and dress your card a whole new way.
Colors: BlackOut, LadyPink, Money, WhiteOut
Price: $10 / 10€

This gorgeous air vase makes a splendid appearance on any side table, side board or anything else that doesn’t necessarily need to be on the side…
Roughly 5″ x 7″ (13 x 18 cm) this ‘vase’ does a great job at looking phenomenal whilst not serving the original purpose – holding water – but it certainly does look great. Use it with a single long stemmed flower to add a dash of drama to your dinner table, or with a bunch of short and playful ones to contrast the rigid lines…
Made out of crisp white porcelain, this vase is so intriguing to look at because of the constant changes in surface and light coming through.
So put away the water and enjoy the flower before she’s gone…
Price: $85 / 80€
