i came across “fred and friends” products quite by accident recently. fred and friends make a wide range of interesting products touching in part on the full spectrum of living. the design ethos of fred and friends is summed up quite nicely in this “message” . . .
so i thought i’d take a wander through their site when i saw something so clever and so obvious i kicked myself for not having thought of it. after years of having seen scores and scores of students, friends, and even myself write notes on hands it just makes sense that someone would come up with this . . . “the to-do tattoo”:
a bargain for forgetful people like me and available for $3.45 at amazon! but wait, there’s more . . . .
this summer you can surprise your friends and guests with these ice cube shot glasses! the flexible silicone shot glass mold creates 4 deep ice cube glasses that can be filled with your favorite drink. you simply fill with water or juice, set in the freezer for a bit and voila! - a handy reusable shot glass that’s approximately 2" wide by 2" tall x 2.45" deep. $7.00 at amazon.
got a rockstar visiting or maybe you’re just holding a guitar hero party . . . you have to have these on hand. the ice cube tray contains three cavities in the shape of guitar bodies, and comes with three reusable plastic guitar "necks". line up the necks in the mould, fill it with water, and freeze; in a few hours you'll have three chilled out guitars ready to dress up and stir a drink.
$5.59 at amazon.finally, this stacked cup coffee cup has tremendous potential. a set of these at the dinner table for the post feast caffeinated beverage would certainly make the evening even more memorable.
$11.95 at amazon.the fred and friends website is jam packed with a variety of irreverent, sometimes gimicky, sometimes clever stuff.
