trophy hangers by phil cuttance

i needed a laugh today and i got it in new zealand designer phil cuttance’s jocular (and functional!) resin animal hangers, a twist on the idea (and continuing trend) of traditional animal head trophies. in phil’s interpretation, the fronts and the backs of the animals are equally important to display.

the hangers are sold in sets of two for $50 at charles and marie. choose from hippo, moose or giraffe styles. teehee.

stylish portable purse caddy

have you heard that october is breast cancer awareness month? (yes.) did you know that you can buy this stylish purse holder, and 20% of each sale will go to the canadian breast cancer foundation? (no.)

this swell little contraption is a purse hook. i already knew about the cheapie plastic ones the table dealers offer women in las vegas, but had no clue that there was an upgraded version. this is a handy thing to have when you don’t want to put your purse on the floor or on the table. i think we’ve all been there.

it comes in a little velvet pouch, has a non-slip rubber backing and can hold up to 20 pounds. bonus: a cute pink ponytailed girl, to remind you that you’ve done a good deed.

available for cad $25 at gone shopping.

hey, if it’s good enough for thomas keller to offer his patrons at per se, it’s good enough for me.

clever foosball wall hook

i am loving this foosball coat rack by philippe peyridieu for italy’s banal extra. it’s made of beech wood and chromium-plated iron.

banal extra was founded in 2000. the goal for each witty piece in their contemporary product line is to extract hidden meaning from everyday objects — to find the irony and poetry is the most banal of things.

i say yes!

more products from banal extra here.

currently in stock at wheredidyoubuythat.
