A journal jar

A journal jar for collecting happy thoughts – I love this idea!

journal-jar

Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. Then, on New Years Eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year. Good way to keep things in perspective.

Shelves To Go

Shelves To Go eliminate unpacking in a hotel.

 

 

 

Just arrange your clothes on hanging Shelves To Go and drop them into your suitcase. When you arrive at your hotel, just hang them in the closet. No need to unpack into questionable hotel dressers and no need to repack when it’s time to go home.

Tent in the Trees

 

 

Here’s a tent that can be pitched high off the ground. Tentsile is perfect for avoiding grubby festival goers, and it can also help avoid other hazards such as flooding or predatory wildlife. A London-based company designed the tent to be used in less than hospitable environments, taking inspiration from the natural world by mimicking a spider’s web. All that is required are three anchoring locations at high level to give clearance from the ground. Each unit is bespoke and comes in 2-person, 4 person, and 8 person configurations. However, they are not cheap – they range in price from £1,850 to over £7,500 depending on size.
