Va Va Va Voom. I have a special place in my heart (and living room, home office, kitchen, bedrooms, patio…) for furniture and decorations that aren’t’ afraid to stand out from the crowd. You know, pieces that are so proud of who they are and what they look like that they practically dare you not to notice them. The incredibly modern and sexy Zuo Modern Unico Executive Office Chair

Adjustable armrests, locking tilt and rolling base ensure comfort and mobility. This office chair is available in black or white.

Robot Bunnies Shade
I love anything that allows you to express yourself – whether it’s jewelry, hats, or office decor. I’m all about putting your personal stamp on anything and everything. You know, this is me – take it or leave it.
Because I do love that whole individualistic approach, I’m all kinds of wild about Lamp-in-a-box.com
. So brilliant. So cool. So original.
What You Need to Know About Lamps in a Box
Lamp-In-A-Box shades can be purchased separately.
Lamps are 21″ tall. All Lamp-In-A-Box shades are cylindrical, 7” in diameter and 9” tall, designed to work with LAMP-IN-A-BOX bases.
Lamp-In-A-Box shades are shipped with a harp and finial and may or may not fit other lamp bases.

Sold in heavy-duty, recyclable, reusable box with carrying handle.

Cartoon Chase Shade
Lamp-in-a-box.com
features their own crazy cool shades in various designs – trust me, they’re designs that’ll be unlike any you’ve ever seen. I’ve thrown a few around this post to give you an idea. However, what may even be more amazing is this: You can use your own pictures to create lamp shades that are definitely one of a kind and personal. Can you imagine, your cat, your spouse, and/or your children gracing a lamp in your office? The people who light up your world lighting up your office as well.
That was a little deep just then…. and on a Monday. Oooooooh.
You’ll want to jump over to Lamp-in-a-box.com
and have a look around. You’ll be pretty impressed. I think my favorite is the Robot Bunnies Shade
. What’s not to love about Robo Bunnies? But the cartoon Beatles being chased by girls (the ladies are on the other side) is a whimsical de-light, too. Sorry.

I nearly screamed out loud when I saw this Holmes HL1261W Black Robot Desk Lamp
– he’s my kind of office lamp! The way I see it, if you have to be working, you should surround yourself with things that make you smile from the inside out.
This lamp more than fits that bill.
He has an adjustable head as well as movable arms and legs, so you can rearrange him from day to day.. you know to keep his joints from getting stiff. Get this, his hands are clips that will hold pens, notes, or pencils for you until you need them. He’s sort of like an assistant, kind of like Iron Man had in his basement to end all basements. Except the Black Robot Desk Lamp promises not to douse you with water.
You’ll be the talk of the office with this lamp, everyone will want one!

My closest co-worker is a total sweetheart. She’s less than two foot tall, doesn’t shave, always sleeps on my desk in front of me, and her breath smells like tuna. We get on famously, so I really have no experience with office warfare or with the desire to ambush someone by the water cooler.
However, if you are more in touch with those feelings than you even care to admit, I have a post you’re going to love. It’s A LOT of fun and will give you some pretty remarkable ideas.
See The Office Arms Race, soldier, and go get ‘em.
Hmmmm. You know, a few of the ideas in this particular post are kind of inspiring me. See, I have a score to settle with my dentist… Mr. “This won’t hurt much..” – The last words I remember hearing right before my face was pulled off of my skull. I’m just not sure if I’ll set up a USB Missile Rocket Launcher beneath his desk or go at him head on with a Nerf N Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Blaster.
Hehehe… ouch… heheh… ouch….

Make no mistake about it, I’m a first rate animal lover. Cats, polar bears, pigs, possums, sharks, birds, raccoons, dolphins, skunks, dogs… I approach life as though God has given all of them to me as my own personal pets. (Reptiles? Unwanted gifts but who am I to question God?) So, I go about my day watching, feeding, ooohing, awwing, petting, and trying to save & protect all of my… in the words of the great Elly Mae… critters.
If you, or someone you know, feels similarly, you’ll want to grab at least one of these beautiful Wave of Light Dolphins
from the Discovery Channel Store.
What a beauty!
From the website: Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin. This dolphin is a work of art and will be a joy forever. Combining lights, sound and movement, the visual experience is both hypnotic and mesmerizing, creating a relaxing tranquil environment for any room in your home or office. The dolphin is made up of twenty moving slivers that simulate the motion of the ocean. 3 Modes to choose from: Watch it move in a well-lit room with the Sound & Movement Mode. Bring it into the bedroom shut the light off and watch the Movement, Sound and Light Mode take over – completely relaxing you. Simply use it in the Movement Only Mode and be mesmerized by the slow graceful movement of the Dolphin Built-in Sleep Timer Mode – With the push of a button you can set it to turn off in a half hour or one hour automatically. Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin.

At the risk of getting personal, when you get right down to it – we’re all pretty much amused by ourselves. The sight of ourselves on a personalized gift such as the Personalized Mouse Pad featuring your own Golf Magazine Cover
above falls under the category “hoot.” If you’re finishing up your Christmas shopping (or you haven’t even begun…what?!?!) and you’re wanting something extremely unique and personal – I have the website for you. These people are nuts and I like it.
You provide a photograph of the individual (or their pet) – then you decide if you want to present them with a poster of the personalized magazine, a framed picture, a t-shirt, or a mousepad – such as this one.
From the Website:
YourCover started in 2000 with the belief that everyone deserves to star on his or her very own magazine cover. Initially, YourCover had its employees creating each issue individually, using photos and information provided by customers. This process of making fake magazine covers was highly labor intensive – and the price point reflected the considerable labor cost.
In order to lower the price of our personalized magazine covers, we renovated our site to enable users to create their own fake magazine covers online. The revised YourCover site debuted in June 2006; now, with our fully automated and interactive site, you may log in to YourCover.com and create a magazine cover – by simply uploading your own photos and adding text (using our templates and text suggestions).
YourCover professionally prints our full-color fake magazine covers on heavy glossy paper and places them in deluxe frames for shipping. Personalized magazine covers are unique gift ideas and make memorable party favors or distinctive table centerpieces. Make your own magazine cover at FREE Shipping on all orders!
. It’s a clever way to celebrate and commemorate an important person, occasion or milestone. And it’s a unique keepsake that’s sure to be remembered and enjoyed long after the event has passed.

Magritte, Rene

In a comment, Daisy pointed out how the Funky Wooden Cabinet (3 posts down) reminded her of the painting, The Son of Man, 1964. It totally does!
