I’m not sure why, but I’ve been amassing a bunch of browser bookmarks over the past few months for sites showcasing and highlighting cool objects and well designed things. It’s not like I’m spending like crazy on this stuff (actually, I haven’t bought anything mentioned on these sites…), but its great to see well-designed and clever items being noticed, collected and highlighted. Here’s a list of links to check out:
http://www.kikkerland.com/
Some cool kitchen and bar items as well as games, tools and clocks.
http://www.uncrate.com/
The online buyers guide for men. Special sections for Gear, Cars, Style, Discs and Crib.
http://www.outblush.com/
New site from the Uncrate folks - this time for the ladies.
http://www.thecoolhunter.net/

http://www.cribcandy.com/

http://swissmiss.typepad.com/

http://www.mightygoods.com/
As the site says: “We look for things we really like, and then we put them here, right where you can find them.”
If you know of other interesting sites featuring gadgets and unique items - please post them in the comments.

A couple other sites that come to mind include:
http://www.coolhunting.com/
http://dailycandy.com/
http://etsy.com/
Of the above, I probably frequent Etsy the most. Everything there is handmade and/or vintage. And there are some really talented people practically giving away their creations.
