A Dinosaur
We'd say that this cheeky toilet paper holder is great for your kids' bathroom, but let's be real: We want one, too. Bonus points if you can steal the plastic, long neck dino from the playroom without getting caught.

An Elephant Cup
Finally, a toothbrush holder that's just as adorable as it is functional. Brushes store standing up so they can dry thoroughly, and excess water drains out of the elephant's trunk.

Hanging Crate Shelves
A row of crates are more customizable than a static shelf — you can shift their alignment to fit any awkward space. Paint them in gold and white if you're not a fan of the rustic look.

A Shower Curtain With Pockets
Freestanding tubs are a design classic — but they're not much for storage. Outfit your bare shower space with a curtain that has drip-dry mesh pockets, perfect for storing everything from your body wash to your loofah.

A File Sorter
Office supplies can hold a lot more than just papers. Here, a sorter helps stack washcloths high — a better use of the narrow space.

Because your bathroom isn't really tidy until your nose is satisfied, too. As soon as you make your first batch you'll be convinced this stuff isn't just for your grandma's guest bedroom.

We're Obsessed With This Floating Lightbulb

Image
Flyte No magic, batteries, or wires here: Swedish designers Flyte promises to "set the lightbulb free" with its new concept — a bulb that hovers over its base thanks to magnetism and air induction. Hand-crafted in Sweden from sustainably-sourced oak, ash and walnut, Flyte turns on and off by a tap on the electro-magnetic base. If you don't need the light, the base can also transform into a wireless charging station for your phone. Yes, it's expensive, starting at around $$$, but considering the LED bulb is rated for 50,000 hours, it's a conversation piece that could last a lifetime. Flyte And don't worry about a curious cat or grabby toddler: The shatterproof glass won't break if Fluffy knocks it over. And since you don't need to plug it in, it's the ultimate kid-proof lighting solution. No tripping on unwieldy wires! Interested? Back Flyte at its Kickstarter page.

Every Day Is Chrismas at the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska

A post shared by Timothy Wang (@ttttimwang) on Dec 26, 2014 at 3:00pm PST In the tiny town of North Pole, Alaska the celebration of Christmas doesn't just happen on the 25th — every day is fair game for wearing red and green, and much of that is all thanks to Con and Nellie Miller. You see, back in 1952 they opened up a trading post in the newly named city and, in honor of Con's tradition of dressing up as Santa at every Christmas, they decided to give it a very special name: The Santa Claus House. It started off as a spot to grab necessities (think: a grocery store and post office combo). But as the community grew so did the store, and they added Christmas treasures, a new wing, and the world's largest Santa that stands 42-feet-tall. Today, thousands of people visit the store every year and millions have ventured to North Pole since they've opened. Looking for a festive photo opportunity? You've come to the right place. This holida...

"Fredagsmys" Is the Swedish Way to Make Your Friday Nights Extra Cozy

Image
Getty While the Danes have hygge , Swedes have mys , which basically translates to “coziness.” While the two concepts are similar—they both come from Scandinavian countries with extremely cold winter weather, for one — mys has a particular focus on eating delicious food that comes to a head on Friday evenings with the tradition of fredagsmys . Fredagsmys translates roughly to “cozy Fridays” and became embedded in Swedish culture in the 1990s when a marketing campaign for chips encouraged people to relax at home on Fridays and indulge in junk food after a long week of eating well and working hard. While fredagsmys can look different whether you’re a family with kids or a group of friends who get together every Friday night, the key ingredient “is easy meals for which everyone is the master chef,” according to the book The Swedish Kitchen . “Finger food and snacks are preferred to cooking and cleaning a pile of dirty pots ...
