This snow block mold creates a unique interlocking shape to keep your igloo from collapsing. Includes instructions on how to build an igloo and one snow saw to help you shape your igloo. Visit Eskimold and buy one today… or two… or three!
Tired of the same old clothes collecting dust in your closet? Want to buy new clothes but not sure if you want to invest an arm and a leg to do so? Check out ThredUP, a Cambridge, Massachusetts based company that enables its members to exchange clothing with other people via the mail.
ThredUP follows a model similar to Netflix. Use prepaid envelopes to swap clothes that you don’t wear that often with clothes that you will. You set up a virtual closet that represents your wardrobe of clothes you would like to trade… and tell ThredUP what kind of clothes you would like to receive in return.
Currently they have a special offer – 3 prepaid envelopes for $12.50. Right now they are only allowing members to trade shirts, but plan to exchange to other clothing types in the future. Check em’ out at thredUP.
If you have a pet dog and are tired of cleaning up pee or poop and other pet accidents inside your home or apartment, you may want to consider getting the Potty Patch! The Potty Patch gives your dog a place to deposit his or her urine/feces. Now you can relax and not worry about rushing home to let your dog outside for a walk.
The Potty Patch is made from specially designed artificial grass that lets liquids flow through. There is a grate to keep the grass dry and a collection tray holds the urine. May sound gross, but would you rather have this stuff on your carpet or wood floor? These are great if you live in an apartment in the city or during times of inclement weather. Available in small and large sizes. Visit the Potty Patch web site for more information.

If you would like to buy live seahorses for a new or existing aquarium, visit Aqualand – providers of live Dwarf Seahorses. If you are old enough, you may remember seeing their ads in the back of comic books.
They were the only company around that (as far as I can remember) that sold live seahorses. I never ordered seahorses back then but was tempted several times. Instead I opted for a pair of X-Ray Specs.
Aqualand sells male and female Dwarf Seahorses, as well as pregnant seahorses. You can also buy aquarium plants, snails, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs and more. Visit Aqualand.
