KFC + Crocs
I posted a link to these on Twitter yesterday, but here's a better shot: the KFC fried chicken Crocs, complete with (removable) fried chicken scented "Jibbitz" (those embellishment thingies that look like drumsticks). They go on sale Tuesday at the Crocs site, and are bound to sell out immediately. $59.99, with $3 going to the REACH Educational Grant Program. (via mashed, eater) More scented shoes here, here and here.
The daily lemming
Aha, just what I (probably? maybe?) needed: a tin with six Peanuts hang tags from Oh Scent. Snoopy is fruity, Linus is powdery, Charlie Brown is green. $40 (about $30 more than I would have guessed) at Nordstrom, where you'll also find Peanuts Car Clips Air Fresheners ($48).
The daily lemming
Hat tip to David, who found us this bargain at the Harrods sale. The Domus Aurea Diffuser from Dr. Vranjes ("Purveyor of blending the purest natural ingredients with the world's finest essential oils, Dr. Vranjes makes home fragrance a more decadent and luxurious affair. Fitted with a prestigious marble cork sourced from the Apuan Alps, this 24-karat gold leaf bottle is drenched in opulence, making for a stunning addition to your ornamental arrangement.") The 5L bottle was £12,000, now a bargain at £9,599.
Friends, that day is now
Ever since kids had imaginations, visions of fart guns — or launchers, or catapults, or trebuchets — floated around their heads. [...] there’s just something enticing about the idea of an actual launcher, something that can fire that distinctive odor up your friend’s — or enemy’s — nostrils.
Well, friends, that day is now.
