Skip the backyard kegger this summer. The garden, or lawn, party is a summer necessity. Think individual style, light games, jazz music, and fine spirits. And of course, a carefree state of mind. The Lawn Party, in deep blue gingham 120s fabric, represents a more refined choice – both in dress and the company you keep.

Created by world famous designer Karim Rashid, and recommended by the Cooking Club of America, the slice™ Y-Peeler features a super-sharp ceramic blade that lasts ten times longer than steel. Equally important, it looks like some crazy weapon out of Star Trek!

The ergonomic design fits comfortably in both small and large hands with a non-slip handle that’s lightweight to prevent fatigue. The ceramic blade is non-allergenic, chemically neutral, and impervious to acid, fat and salt – boom, take that salt. The Y-Peeler won’t brown food, transfer smells, or leave a metallic taste as well. Plus a minimum of 1% of all Slice product sales is donated to help fund autism research.

One thing is for sure, if you own a Fridgecouch you have some of the coolest seating around.

Whether you use an iPod or other MP3 player, you are certainly already familiar with the trouble of ear bud cords knotting up every single time you want to use them.

No more frustrating tangles or knots! POP grips to the iPod with a very strong suction bond. Even though the Nano and iPhone have slightly textured surfaces, we include a transparent sticker to create a smooth surface for improving the POP grip.

With that type of respect, it garners instant street credibility plus the stuff just looks cool, which should be more than enough for you to try it out.
