Poppy Playground Sheets

Poppy Playground Sheets
Yes, we know what you’re thinking, and yes, we thought it too. Sheets? Poppy Playground? What in the hell are those doing on Cool Material? But then we looked closer. The poppy flowers that you most certainly notice at first glance are actually a playground for a ridiculous amount of buxom, topless, artistically rendered women. The 400 thread count, 100% Egyptian cotton sheets are just artistic and flowery enough to get the sign-off from your better half (hey, we can dream). This is also the easiest, least expensive way to get your bed covered like you’ve always wanted – in half naked women. $139

Zarirro Iridium Razor

Zafirro Iridium Razor

Is your handsome mug insured for several million dollars? Then perhaps you can justify buying a Zafirro Iridium Razor ($100,000). This insanely-expensive razor is also insanely advanced, featuring a handle made from pure iridium — which is mainly derived from meteorites — particle-sharpened solid white sapphire blades with edges that are less than 100 atoms across — roughly 5,000 times thinner than a human hair — and pure platinum screws to hold the whole thing together. Limited to just 99 razors, although I suspect they may have trouble finding that many buyers.

Bang & Olufsen BeoTime Alarm Clock

Bang & Olufsen BeoTime Alarm Clock

Waking up in the morning (presumably to go slave away for the man for 8hrs) sucks. It’s not a fun experience and having a twenty dollar alarm clock with an alarm that sounds like a combination of nails on a chalkboard and a car wreck doesn’t make it any better. Really, do you want to wake up at the start of every day thinking you’re Jack Bauer and mankind is under siege? Maybe once, but not every day. With the new BeoTime from Bang & Olufsen, you don’t have to. The BeoTime hooks up to standard AV equipment, so you can use it as speakers to fall asleep to(there’s a sleep timer) or wake up to. It’s also equipped with a built-in motion sensor and automatic backlighting because, well, that’s just how Bang & Olufsen rolls. Like every other B&O product, it also happens to be gorgeous. $395

Kaws Lightbulb Set


KAWS Lightbulb Set

I have this inherent desire to upgrade everything around me – even if it isn’t exactly necessary. Dishwashers end up supercharged. Cars get spoiled. Offices and closets get Van Goghed. But once I got my spirally, super green CFL bulbs I thought I was done with lightbulb upgrades. Turns out  I was  wrong. KAWS (the artist with the toys that look kind of like Mickey Mouse with the X eyes) teamed up with the Standard Hotel to create lightbulbs with a custom X KAWS style filament in three colors. At around $20 a pop, the 120volt bulbs are definitely pricey, but they’re also the only light bulbs I've ever been excited to buy. $65

Maker USA


MakerUSA

There’s something wrong about buying a surfboard from someone who doesn’t surf, it’s like buying diet pills from someone who looks like they haven’t seen the inside of a gym in a decade.  When you purchase a surfboard, skateboard or snowboard from MakerUSA not only will you first and foremost get an amazing piece of art, but you’ll get a board performance tested by an industry sportsman.  Okay, so back to the designs - they’re insane!  MakerUSA collaborates with local and well-known artists (including graphic designers, street artists, painters and tattoo artists) to create boards your buddies will be jealous of.  They also make it a point to be sustainable, utilizing FCS certified woods and veneers and working with local lumberyards.  Plus, the boards themselves are recyclable, as in after you smash it one day you can just put it on display in your house.

Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses


Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses
While we might want an ice cube or some water to smooth out the flavor of some bottom shelf spirits, when we dip into our collection of the good stuff we want an option that chills it without diluting it.  If that option also happens to look like a shooter they passed around a medieval round table - all the better.  This set of Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses have to sit in the freezer for just 4 hours before they become the perfect serving options for some 18 year-old reserve stuff or even something like a round of Kettle One.  The soapstone shooters, while looking anciently cool, will still do little to help the taste of Popov. $40
