rubitone



Technically I'm breaking the rules of the gift guide with the Rubitone. It's a conceptual piece by Italian industrial designer Ignacio Pilotto so unfortunately it's not commercially available. Someone should pester Pantone into producing these!

Via Core77. More awesome Rubik's cube concepts here.

Full disclosure, I've never successfully solved a Rubik's Cube. Unless of course you count removing the little stickers and rearranging them.

ugly holiday sweater t-shirts


Ugly holiday sweaters are so last year. Instead get an ugly holiday sweater t-shirt, that come in a variety of ugly sweater-style designs. The best part? You get one when you make a donation to the Animal Protective Association (APA).

So make a donation (here) on behalf of someone you know that loves animals and give them the t-shirt (or keep it - they'll never know), and help out a furry friend this holiday season.

Via Adpulp.
