Next time you promise your lady the moon, do it for real with this portable Private Moon by Russian artists Leonid Tishkov and Boris Bendikov; it’s essentially a lightbox made out of pine.

Absolut Vodka’s ads are a cultural institution unto themselves, both in terms of creativity and sheer marketing brilliance; Trend.Land has an excellent collection of three dozen of their best.

Flickr user Derek is one lucky dude; not only does his girlfriend pack Japanese-style “bento” lunches, but arranges them into characters from Wall-E, Katamari, and Totoro. Thanks, Tenshi!
