Fun and colorful bracelets made from silver and beer/soda cans. The soda and beer can pieces are secured to the bracelets with sterling silver rivets, and silver end caps protect the ends.

There are a few different versions to choose from, e.g. Lucky Lager, Coca Cola, Sunkist, Guinness, Dr. Pepper and Tab.

Since the bracelets are made from actual cans you can rest assured that you are doing your bit to “staying green” so they offer both a stylish way of showing your taste in both beverage and your environmental consciousness. Very treehugging.

The bracelets are made in Vermont and can be found at Elsewares along with a wider version of the cuffs along with matching rings.

Pinkie Pirate by Dooodolls is a super cute designer plush doll. It’s the kind of doll that not only mommy would love to give to her girl because of the cuteness factor, but daddy wouldn’t mind it either because of the toughness factor in the black eye patch.

I guess it kind of sends a great message to little girls; you can be both super cute and a bit tough at the same time

A couple of other cool dolls which kind of sends the same message are the plush dolls SANDy and Mozzarella from Tokidokis. Soon to be released.

You’ll find Pinkie Pirate at Juvie, a great shop where they have cool toys, clothes and accessories for older kids. Not to many of those shops around.

DaMinci is one of Tim Tsui’s creations, which has been released in several different versions, all which have been limited editions. The black and silver version shown above was released yesterday, and is a BeyondGoodNEvil exclusive.

The DaMinci figures have several movable parts, a removable spray can, a mask, and two belt buckles. All DaMinci versions are great, with nice details and color combinations, but this version might be the coolest of them all. The face color and the base color of the mask is the same, which gives the figure a superb look when the mask is placed on it.

Any interest in seeing pictures of other DaMinci versions? If so, have a look at Vinyl Addiction.

BeyondGoodNEvil’s DaMinci is a limited edition and there is only 100 pieces available. To celebrate their exclusive version Tim Tsui has designed a T-Shirt for them, which also was released yesterday at the BeyondGoodNEvil store. The T-shirts are hand printed by BeyondGoodNEvil.

Red Magic makes some really cool and very sweet vinyl figures named C.i.Boys. They come in many different series. The ones pictured above are from the Gladia Sport Series.

The C.i.Boys figures are simple and their expressions are made by just a few simple creative strokes. In contrast the rest of the figure is very detailed. The C.i.Boys series, like many other vinyl toy series, are collectors items and you will not know which one you will receive when you order one. In the Red Magic Shop you can find information on how many of each version they have in stock so you it is possible to calculate your chances of getting the one you want.

Red Magic also makes a really cute vinyl series called Lala Couple which are without small parts and great for young girls. The C.i.Boys figures are not suited for small children as the arms are detachable and can easily be swallowed.

Merry Christmas everyone!

RoomMate is a Danish company which designs great products for children and their rooms. For instance they design stuffed foam cars, big cat shaped bean bags and funny dolls.

The dolls are called Roomies. They’re the funny looking dolls you can see in the picture. As you can see they’ve got funny expressions and personalities. You can get to know each doll and the relations between the dolls better at RoomMate where they are all presented on their own page.

I have not yet been able to find an American or international shop for Roomies, but they can be purchased at Design Delicatessen which ship internationally. You just have to get through the ordering process which is in Danish. Maybe sending them an e-mail would be easier.

Who says adorable baby “princess” clothing have to be pink? Here is one of the most adorable baby onesies I have ever seen, and it is far from pink!

This high quality onesie is adorned with Polka dot- and skull squares appliqued on the front, and polka dot ruffles on the bum. Ruffles are the perfect accessory for a diaper bottom.

The Pirate Princess Skull Onesie is a part of Vintage Lucy’s Pirate Princess Skull Collection. It is a funky collection with lots of inspiration from punk. The Sugar Skull Collection is also very sweet in a non-pink way.
