Go the Fuck to Sleep

Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant.

Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach's verses and Ricardo Cortés' illustrations perfectly capture the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process.

Here is a sample verse:
The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the fuck to sleep.

Reflective Biker Gloves and Socks

The socks feature a reflective patch on the back, which, once you’ve tucked your trousers into them (to prevent the chain jamming) adds to making you as visible as possible on the road, and the gloves have a reflective arrow patch on each side, so you can signal before you turn with added visibility.Pack of two socks, or two gloves - one size and unisex, with sewn on reflective patches.

Get them here.

Write? Light!

How many times do a million things rummage through your head just after getting into bed; things you have to do, ideas,  etc? You'll have to get out of bed, turn on the lights and write your thoughts down on a piece of paper (or what not) so that you don't forget about them?

Well with the Write?Light!, you wouldn't have to do that anymore!

It is a lamp that gives off a glow powerful enough to jot down a quick memo. And the way it works is darn cute; kinda like the inkwell and feather effect! Pick up the pencil to light-up; place it back to turn it off.

The Write? Light! Won a Silver Award at the IDEA Design Awards 2010.
By designer, Jaeun Park of Frabrica, Italy.

Largest Disco Ball In History: Paris' Nuit Blanche

French artist Michel de Broin built a massive disco ball that measures 23.6-feet in diameter and contains a whopping 1,000 individual mirrors. Then he attached the sphere to a crane 165-feet in the air and suspended it in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event in Paris. After directing spotlights at it from various locations around the city, de Broin hit a switch and let the party commence.

Project Sleepless

SLEEPLESS is a collaboration between The Great Eastern Hotel and fourteen students from the Royal College of Arts acclaimed Design Products department. Reactive installations and objects invite guests and visitors to take part in an experience and step into a hidden dimension where a hotel is more than just a place for the night. Part of the project is Bedtime Stories whereby this blanket, designed by Tiago da Fonseca, has several sheets containing a traditional bedtime story. Each “page” adds a layer of linen making you warmer (or cooler) and comfier hopefully guiding you and your partner into a pleasant night’s sleep.
