Ice Invaders

Ahh, the advent of silicone, it’s led to many great things. Baking and ice cube making have been taken to a whole new level with a wide array of shapes that can now be effortlessly made. This one’s for all you old-school arcade junkies.

I remember playing Space Invaders for hours on my Atari 500. Amazing how far computer graphics have come? They may not have been the most realistic looking creatures, but they certainly have a kitsch factor about them now. Share a slice of your childhood with your kids with this Ice Invaders ice cube tray, $8.50, from Sprout Home.

Suburban Glass House

Now that we’ve been caged in the house for a couple of months I find my son staring out the window for some form of life outside the living room. Like a lot of young kids he really gets a kick out of seeing the birds at the backyard feeder. I love the transparency of this mouth blown glass bird feeder, $60, from Sprout Home. It lets curious eyes peer in so they won’t miss what’s going on inside.

5 Days of Stockings: White Christmas Stocking at Sprout

What stocking will look great next to the Eames lounger and won't clash with the marble fireplace? This all-white floral stocking ($41.75) from Sprout Home should do the trick. In white, it's minimalist without being boring, but there's also a similar version available in color for those who need more panache from their holiday stockings. And lest you think modernism is cold and lifeless, the stocking has a small picture frame to personalize it to the recipient.
