Weird Furniture: Mum's the Chair
.larger.jpg)
You may have lost your chance to send a great gift in time for Mother's Day, but you can still honor mom with this flippant tribute to maternity, the Adrenalina Mum seat (inquire for price). This beanbag of sorts, filled with feathers and polystyrene micro-balls and topped with a silicone nipple for good measure, says, "the turkey's done," in the most unusual way. Pick up a breast sideboard and a vajayjay sofa to match and your home will be a vision of motherhood.
Roundup: Chic Bean Bags
You're probably thinking the phrase "chic bean bags" is an oxymoron, right? Well, considering how far the bean bag industry has come since the days of Lillian Vernon monogramming, I have to disagree. The slouchy seat, in many cases, has abandoned its deflated globe-like shape in favor of cringe-free forms less synonymous with bachelor pad and nine-year-old decorating.
Weird Furniture: Octopus Chair
The Octopus Chair (price unlisted), fashioned from pairs of recycled jeans and polystyrene balls, is a multi-shape beanbag and a cross "between a chair and a lounge sculpture," allowing you "to adapt your seating to your interior." In some cases of weird furniture, I am willing to suspend my inclination towards normalcy in favor of something that is "weird" yet still cool and "artsy." But dear Mr. Octopus, I do not like you, find you cool or artsy, or care that you can transform into multi-shapes.
Crave Worthy: Verzelloni Zoe Chair
I never imagined myself describing a bean-bag chair as crave worthy. This Verzelloni Zoe Chair (price unlisted), the traditional bean bag's older, cooler sister, is an exception though. Not only does the chair look extremely comfortable, (and filled with polystyrene pearls, how could it not be?) but its relaxed, '60s look and shape is elegant enough to show off.
Better Than Your Average Bean Bag
Bean bag chairs are a staple of rec rooms and college dorms. They're comfy, versatile, and even available in sports motifs to match your favorite team (please, just don't). But rarely has anyone accused a bean bag chair — particularly one shaped like a football — of being chic.

Pimp Your Crib: Fuzzy Wuzzy Pods
As a parent, I now know why adults and tots both love beanbags. The odd shaped bag of "beans" are perfect for lil rascals who run around like maniacs ready to thrust their lil bodies onto inanimate objects.
If I go the pod route, I will be purchasing a furlicious beanbag from PB Teen.
Giggle's Anti-Gift Guide: Mean Bags
If you ain't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Instead, pelt that insult in the direction of a deserving target using the fiercest bean bags in town. Mean Bags are delightfully colorful (in more ways than one) and "sewn deliberately with hostility and mean-spiritedness in mind."
Celebrity Redo: Todd Oldham
In big cities like the big apple, if you're taking public transit, hailing a cab, or trying to sneak bring a doggie into a shop, you're often only allowed if your pet fits in a carrier. But, I remember from one of our first PetMarking missions, there are plenty of cute cases out there for people to choose and use! I don't agree with dog-as-accessory, and I think putting a pup in your purse – a bag not sold specifically for pet purposes – can hurt both the doggie and the bag.
