Love It or Hate It? Teddy Bear Lamp

CasaSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:00:04 PDT

The Suck UK Teddy Bear Lamp (coming soon), a soft toy bear with a lamp for a head, brings back memories to me of my siblings beheading my favorite stuffed animals and Barbie dolls as a kid. It's a cheeky design, but I'm too sentimental to keep it in my home. What do you think?

The Fuzzy Wuzzy Teddy Bear USB Drive

GeekSugar — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:00:15 PDT

I'm all for crazy USB drives, but a headless teddy bear might be a tad over the top. Imagine sitting in a packed internet café and someone pulls out this cute plush toy, rips its head off and sticks its butt in the side of their laptop? Definitely an interesting conversation starter to say the least! Featured on The Raw Feed, this unique flash drive would probably be better used as a cell phone charm in Japan and not so much a practical USB drive in the U.S. To check out more Flickr pictures of this teddy in action, click here. Unfortunately for all you takers, I perused the net but couldn't seem to find where they are sold- such a shame!

Pop-Up Tops: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?

Kate Stahl — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:44:50 PDT

Like most young toddlers, my daughter is fairly obsessed with pop-up and peekaboo books, which seem to surprise and delight her no matter how many times she's revealed that teddy bear under the bed or the snail behind the flower. While we've collected more than a dozen pop-up books, we don't have a single piece of pop-up clothing, a fact that Etsy seller Jane of Little Blue Frogs could rectify. Jane's kids also love pop-up books, and that fascination inspired her to create a collection of pop-up onesies and T-shirts ($22 each) for babies and toddlers. Choose from designs like a cloud covering the sun (shown above), a kite, or a plane, a record covering music notes, or a leaf over a ladybug. The designs are printed and sewn on supersoft American Apparel cotton tees and onesies and come in sizes for babes 3 to 24 months.

So what do you think? Would your lil one love a pop-up top or will you leave the peekaboo to the books? Weigh in below and let us know.

Mark Wahlberg soaked up the sun from the balcony of his Miami hotel room yesterday. It looks like Mark's gotten into top shape to work on his latest project Pain and Gain. While shirtless, Mark Wahlberg showed off some big muscles in just a pair of salmon shorts on set Friday. Mark's portraying a bodybuilder in the film, which is directed by Transformers' Michael Bay. Dwayne Johnson plays another professional muscle man, with his and Mark's characters getting caught up in an extortion scheme. Mark's next project Ted, which was directed by Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane, has a much different plot. Mark and Mila Kunis star alongside an animated teddy bear who comes to life in the adult comedy - check out the brand new first trailer for Ted now!

How to Make Money Off Your Breakup

LearnVest — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:15:30 PST

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

When you break up with someone, should you return any gifts?

Not according to Never Liked It Anyway, where those unlucky in love can sell mementos of failed relationships and divulge the dirt behind the gift.

And it’s not just teddy bears and uneaten chocolates - disenchanted lovers are selling wedding dresses, rings, weekend wedding packages, and anything else adding to their baggage (including the baggage itself). All for a substantial discount.

Someone Loved It Once

Part store and part advice column, the site calls itself “the place where once-loved gifts from once-loved partners get a second chance.” Instead of just facilitating a sale, it also provides a space for the seller’s story.

Never Liked It Anyway was founded by a woman who made it through a major breakup herself and recognized the benefit of cleaning out her closet . . . and profiting in the process.

For us (admittedly not in the throes of a violent parting of ways), the site raises two questions:

Is It Hilarious or Sad?

We’re happy to see the sellers get revenge (or at least revenue) after their heartbreak. But so many of the confessions in the Tell It section (in which users spill but don’t sell) are stories of men doing horrible things and women in horrible situations. The headline “NICE BOOTS BAD GUY” made us laugh . . . but the person who got dumped while her mother was dying broke our hearts.

Is It Cost-Effective or Cursed?

From a consumer's view, it’s a great deal! Over $1,000 off a Tiffany wedding band? It sounds too good to be true. And maybe it is. If you believe in karma, acquiring trinkets from failed relationships just might doom you to the same fate. Then again, wedding dresses for 40 percent off!

Just in case you’re gearing up for your own nuptials and aren’t concerned about the whole karma thing, we’ve put together a wedding plan, using only items from the site.

The Keys

The seller puts the problem with this ring pretty clearly in the title: "Key Ring, Not an Engagement Ring."

Real World Price: $125
Breakup Price: $60

A Dash of Sparkle and Glitter at CES

Kelly Schwarze — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:23:58 PST

CES is a tech conference, not a disco, but we certainly saw enough shimmering gadget accessories to have us temporarily seeing double (and dancing). Gone is the customized crystal craze of years past, and in its place are mass-produced phone and tablet covers that are anything but subtle.

Want your iPhone to wear a sparkling smiley face and a 3D crystal bow? Boom, done. Along with a teddy bear on a field of crystals and an ombre sunset. Take a look at the products that twinkled in our eye and purchasing information in the gallery, because a phone's life is too short for a plain case.
