MakerBot Replicator Z18
The latest 3D printer from MakerBot has a massive 12″ x 12″ x 18″ build area, which allows for printing large models, or multiple small ones at once. We want one just so we can print skulls like the one shown here.

Frankly, this concrete and glass building looks more like a tenement than a mansion, but it’s still a neat place to put your plants, providing you with a mini rooftop garden, even if you don’t live on the top floor. Measures just 3.9 x 4.7 x 4.7″
Part of the Google Cultural Institute – yeah, we didn’t know that existed either – the Street Art Project is a curated collection of over 5,000 images and 100 exhibits, including those that have already been taken down.

These storage bins cleverly disguise themselves as an old school home entertainment system, including speakers, analog clock and radio, and a good old CRT TV. Each canvas bin comes with a lid and is guaranteed not to play media.

This wide format tabletop clock uses the type of mechanism found in 1970s flip clocks, but tells time using words instead of digits. Measures a whopping 35″ wide x 7″ deep x 8 ” high. We only wish it were made from wood instead of plastic.
