I’ve been eyeing these play houses for my cat for a while, and now that they’re on sale, I think I’m gonna have to get one. The toughest decision: Plane or tank?
Cat Play House, $19.99 each (normally $24.99) at ThinkGeek.com.
As you read this, I’m in a magical world: Disneyland. I haven’t been since I was 7, and I’m SO excited to be going back.
I’ll be in Anaheim for the week soaking up Disney fun and representing Job Hunters at Vidcon. If you’re attending, make sure you stop by our meet-up/signing on Friday at 2:15 pm in 211AB!
In the meantime, I’ll keep the posts coming here with a focus on some fun products I’ve found online. Once I get back, be on the lookout for some new recipes and Disney-inspired posts!
And if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you check out my newest links on the main page of GeekyHostess.com. There is now information on me and the blog, press mentions, appearances, contact information, and info on advertising on the site.
Always wanted to be a bit more like Willy Wonka? Or maybe the witch from Hansel and Gretel? Make your house a bit more magical with cherry and chocolate scented wallpapers.
The cherry paper is pretty self-explanatory, but the chocolate is the one I truly love. The damask pattern hides modern city park images like fire hydrants, parking meters, rats and pigeons. It would pretty much be the coolest paper for a study/office/reading nook.
The paper comes in sheets that will cover 10 square feet.
Scented City Park, $75 at Fab.com.
Scented Cherries, $85 at Fab.com.
Do you or a guy in your life have to wear dress shirts on a daily basis? This may change your/their life. Ministry of Supply is currently running a very successful Kickstarter campaign for a new dress shirt that borrows technology from NASA. The shirt will keep you comfortable all day with heat management, moisture management, odor control, and dynamic motion.
I’ve never been a fan of dress shirts personally–I haven’t found any for women that fit me correctly and aren’t uncomfortable. Although the Ministry of Supply currently only makes shirts for men, I have hopes they’ll use their space-age technology to make something for women next.
For a pledge of $95 or more, you can get their brand new shirt, but they have plenty of existing clothing that can be yours at lower pledge levels. Supporting a new company that values science and fashion? I call that a win.
Find more information on Ministry of Supply and the Apollo Shirt at Kickstarter.com.
As many of you know, I’ve been working a lot on Job Hunters, a web series I produced and acted in (and yes, also did Craft Services for). Today we released our Season 1 Finale… and it’s a doozy!
If you have a project idea you’re passionate about, please stop doubting, worrying, and waiting. Tell your friends about it. Have them tell their friends about it. See what happens. Sometimes, you’re lucky enough to find a crazy talented group of people that want to work on your project with you.
Do you remember the last time you got a card or letter from a friend out of the blue? I can barely remember the last time I got a piece of physical mail that wasn’t junk. But those rare days that I see a hand-written envelope in my mailbox from a friend, I get so excited. It’s a delightful surprise that makes the recipient’s day!
This week’s Geek Etiquette post is just a simple challenge: Send someone something in the mail. Dig out your favorite stationary set or cards, find a stamp, and let someone know you’re thinking of them. It’ll cost you about 50 cents and a few minutes of your time, and will mean so much to them.
Need new cards? I’d recommend this set from Sad Shop on Fab.com. Looking for someone to write to? Let’s be pen pals.
PRINTandGRAIN have some amazing designs and letterpress stationary/business cards in their Etsy shop, but the thing that really wows me is this Atari business card holder. You tell them your favorite game, your name, job title, and email address, and they’ll make a ridiculously awesome customized holder for you. This would be the perfect thing for a video game store owner, blogger, or professional geek.

I am in love with these LEGO clutches by agabag. It adds that perfect bit of geek to a dressier event, and could still be casual enough to bring out for a girls’ night or date. The clutch can be made in a variety of solid or mixed colors, just let the creator know when ordering!
LEGO Brick Clutch, $120 at Etsy.com.
