People really buy this stuff~ The odd, the interesting, and the ridiculous



 

JAPANESE PAPER ENVELOPE
$46.00 

Hold Everything!  

World-renowned industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa has turned the humble throwaway envelope into a durable, all-purpose receptacle you can use again and again. Fukasawa's creation is made of "Soft Naoron," material developed of wood pulp and polyolefin by Japanese paper manufacturer ONAO. It's flexible, water-resistant and tear-proof, so the envelope is sturdy enough to hold up to 22 pounds and can even safely hold wet objects. Destined to become an essential item for anyone committed to a more sustainable, less disposable way of living. Each piece is individually crafted. Handmade in Japan. 

 $46.00 for an friggin envelope are you kidding me, unless that thing is going to start reproducing money inside itself for me I don't care how many times I can reuse it, it's not worth that kind of money.

 

$30.00

In Today's Finance Section...


Finances are not a laughing matter. Well, unless your wallet is covered in comics. Made from recycled newspaper funnies and soft, durable, water-resistant laminate this fun wallet will make you smile even when you're shelling out the cash. And for those who are a bit more serious about banking (but not that serious) the news wallet will be perfect reading material for all those presidents you keep in the dark. Features large pocket for bills and four smaller pockets for cards. Handmade in Los Angeles. Available in comic section (shown at left) or news section (shown at right). Due to the recycled nature of this item, each is one of a kind.


Now this is actually a pretty cool twist on the whole reduce, reuse, recycle mantra.

I'm not sure I have words for this one, now I love my dog but I don't think even I want to read his tweets all day, let alone anyone else. Besides I'm going to have to go through the trouble of setting up his Twitter account and can you imagine if he actually ended up with more followers. Well that would just be all depressing, and bad.
