8-Bit Treasure Chest Holds Your Jewels, Baubles, and More

Posted on by

You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate the uniqueness of this treasure box. The exterior features an 8-bit design reminiscent of chests you’d commonly see in video games. But what makes it extra special are the special effects that it comes with. When it’s opened, the chest lights up and plays a familiar treasure-finding tune that you’ve probably already heard (again, from in-game video game sound effects.)

If you’re looking for a discrete container for your jewelry, then this is not it. But if you’re looking for something fun to hold your cufflinks and other small items, then you might want to grab one or two of these.

The 8-Bit Treasure Chest with LEDs and Sound is available online for $29.99.

Innovative Food Storage

Posted on by

The Pyrex brand has steadied itself as a leader in food storage, and the designers at Streng have developed the latest addition to the line to build on that heritage with a series of colorful and functional containers. The No-Leak Clear series is nothing short of innovative, featuring a new steam-release mechanism that allows the user to release steam without removing the lid entirely. It’s easier than ever to reduce pressure and cool food items without warping the container.

Snoozebox: The Only Hotel in the World with No Permanent Address

Posted on by

Over the years, hotels have become more than just places where people sleep while they’re on business or on vacation. Rooms now have graffiti on their walls (like the Panic Room) and some aren’t really rooms anymore, but pods (like the Bubble Rooms).

Then comes the Snoozebox. It’s the world’s first completely portable hotel because it’s all fashioned from shipping containers. The Snoozebox can accommodate 40 to 400 rooms and only requires three days to build and set up.

You might expect simple interiors for such simple exteriors, but luxurious amenities await you once you’re inside: flat-screen televisions, en-suite washrooms, wireless Internet connections, and daily replenishment of toiletries.

The Snoozebox’s upcoming events include the Download Festival and the 2012 British Grand Prix. It will also be housing the performers who are a part of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee at Windsor Castle.
