I think we've established that I am a tremendous geek, and not ashamed of it. And so it shouldn't really surprise you that I almost jumped out of my skin with joy upon spying this Atari joystick-shaped candleholder.
That shit is DOPE, am I right? Who wants to buy me one? heh.

I'm not clear on whether the DOUCHEBAG emblazoned on this lovely, frilly card is meant to refer to sender or the addressee, but either way, I think that I can put it to use.
If you've got a kid, you're gonna love our new giveaway: a randomly selected commenter will win their choice of either an Eggplant/Cobalt Collector's skirt (my daughter has this one, by the by, and it is *freaking adorable*) or a pair of Green Pea Collector's shorts.
AND? Regardless of whether you win or lose, you have the next month (until 8/15) to get 20% off your entire Uglyfish Organics order with the code CovetUglyFish.
Win-win, people, win-win.
One commenter will be selected at the end of this week from *all* comments submitted on *all* posts, so get a-typin', and good luck!
If you're the type that can't stand being without a band on your left hand or lounging unaccessorized on sand, this is the ring for you.
The ring is adjustable for easy sizing and the distressed design ensures that no matter how many castles you build, the beach ball can roll with it.
Beach ball ring $18 @ Block Party Press

Like a sock monkey. Only undeader. I am bias, because my friend Erin makes these. In fact she just did a custom Sock Zombie Pirate for me and it KICKS ass. I think I have four, or five? My daughter keeps bogarting them, even though they are mine! She also says Grainnnnnnnns instead of Brainnnnnnns like the zombie is a vegetarian or something. These are one of kind, everyone is different. Erin takes meticulous care with each zombie and I dare say loves making them a lot.
You can get a Toehawk zombie, a ninja-like throwing zombie, door hanging zombies, a Classic zombie or more. More blood, less blood, the choices are endless. She has sold lots of these undead creature of the foot covering variety and for good reason. Zombies are the new monkeys.
Sock Zombies, starting at about $15.00, @ Erin's shop

This pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it? I plan on buying these in bulk. Because my baby? Is loud. And ear plugs only go so far.
Mute Button Binky, $4.99 (6 for $20.99) @ Personalized Pacifiers
Congratulations to our Sex and the City book winners, JMomma and Poppy Buxom, and thanks to everyone who threw their hat in the ring for the giveaway.
Look for an all new giveaway to start Monday here on We Covet. Why? Because we like you.
I am obsessed, obsessed I tell you, with the posters from El Jefe Design. El Jefe is Jeffrey Everett's graphic design "...punk rock company which [isn't] just about punk but also about art and politics and music and humor."
FYI his posters = genius.
I saw Everett's work for the first time on the marquee of The Black Cat, my favorite music venue in Washington, DC and then at an installation of rock posters at the University of Maryland. I covet every single one of the subversive, clever and beautiful posters of El Jefe Design for myself. I have the Raveonettes and Mudhoney posters hanging in my boudoir, but what I would really love is to own them all and keep them in a private hallway like Mr. Smithers, viewing them daily as I greedily interlace my fingers.
But I'll settle for telling you guys about them. And sending you to the El Jefe Design store, where you can discover and possess the freaky wonder for yourself.
Rock concert posters $20-$75 @ El Jefe Design
I am coveting these labels, but also buying some for the kid. I am tired of tried to use a sharpie to label all her belongings when she goes to preschool, play dates or cocktails. Keep your hands off my kids Crocs, I know every other kid in the preschool has a pair, but they have their dirty dirty foot germs on them. Stuck on You makes labels for EVERYTHING honest.In other words, you can keep other people's grimy hands off of your fabulous stuff. They make labels for the kitchen, the garage, wrist bands, school supplies and more.
"Our quality vinyls, fabrics and adhesives are second to none
so our labels stay put in the dishwasher, microwave or washing machine. Kids love them for their designs, Mums love them for their practicality. Innovative shoe labels, pencil labels and bag tags ensure your kids are sorted."
Stuck on You labels, from about $19.50 per pack of 20 @ stuckonyou.biz
