They complete my design trifecta: smart, a little gross, and funnyhaha.
For these reasons, I, Cardboard, declare this a Design Boner.

A Friend for Carlos
Do you guys remember Carlos?
Well, I've still got him around and, yes, he still has that blasted ear infection. Dear Porcelain had his sickly little heart in mind, however, when she sent me a link to his maybe/could-be best friend ever.
Urban Outfitters is adopting out the Dachshund Lamp! What a perfect little buddy, no? He's white (or green), he's glowy, he's small, idealized, and dog-shaped...
Yet Carlos is made of precious porcelain and I believe that, despite the omnipresent linen infliction, he might find the Dachshund rather...stunted.

Thrifty Christy
My local Salvation Army actually has one of these upside-down Christmas trees for sale!
It's unadorned (you must provide photo ornaments of your own grandkids) and I don't know how much it costs. Yet this is the first time I've seen one of these in-person and, letmetellyou, it is green and it is crazy.
But you must hurry on over if you want to check it out. For in the world of discount stores, the good stuff (talkin' to you, DJ Play Station) is gone in a blink but coordination of color is forever.

Lamp lust
James glass kerosene lamps, at Pottery BarnI think if I could design anything, I'd like to design lighting. Here are some of my recent lighting cravings.
