Hunter Wellingtons

Um, I could really use some Hunter Wellingtons to wear with my new dress tomorrow...I'm going to search for some after work.  I hope they fit my shapely calves...

*Update* Unfortunately our search was unsuccessful.  Apparently everyone had the same idea, and they are all sold out.  But I will get them eventually....

Moonwatch by The Emotion Lab

Moonwatch by The Emotion Lab...I feel like I should have this.

A wristwatch that tells what phase the moon is in. Designed to establish a relationship between the moon cycle and a person's emotional states, "It's a new concept of time based on nature which invites people to reflect upon and gain a closer understanding of their mood and daily life on earth."

The Moonwatch also shows the time with a push of a button which switches between the two interfaces, time and moon phase. During the day the time is indicated with a black background and during the night the interface changes to white in order to improve visibility.

Found thanks to Mocoloco.
