The original visual sneaker locator, Kicks Finder, just added a couple great site enhancements as well as the Kicks Finder eBay Report– a blog dedicated to helping people find great kicks at good prices. If you’re holiday shopping for a loved one, or even after some rare AF1’s for yourself, pop by the site– it’s so good it’s almost addictive.

Domestic was launched as an alternative to wallpaper, where wall space can become the field for a game of composition and narration into which a lot of effort and inventiveness can be put. Check out their collection for wallpaper ideas from dozens of international design talent. A single 150×100cm piece will run you around 70 Euros, but you’ll surely be the only one on your blog with walls like these.

Toronto-based design boutique Up to You: The Shop Above is bringing customers something extra special for Christmas this year. All orders placed online on Christmas Eve between 12-5 P.M. EST, exceeding $500 CAN before taxes, will be hand-delivered by Santa Clause and one of his little helpers on Christmas Day. You can only take advantage of this great service if you are in the Toronto, Scarborough, or NYC areas, but Santa can be persuaded to fly out of those areas if the right occasion presents itself (email them to find out). Up to You has some worthy design-oriented gifts, so whoever you send Santa to visit on Christmas day will not only be excited about the hand-delivery, but will love what’s inside the box as well. I thought this was a unique and creative way for a store like Up to You to spread the holiday cheer.

Congratulations to Lee, our first week’s winner in the Momimomi Naughty Holiday Limerick Competition. He will be receiving a 3 month subscription to the best t-shirt subscription program in the world! Without further adieu, the winning words:

In a town with shirts galore,
There was one bare-breasted whore.
She flashed with pride
As she watched the tide
Carry her wardrobe from shore!

When I was in college, a lot of my friends went through that ‘I want a dog’ stage. I never could understand why young, jet-set people would ever want to get a dog. Who is going to take care of the dog when you leave town? Answer: their friends without dogs who chose not to get their own dog because they had the foresight to realize the difficulties that come along with being a pet owner who is frequently away from the house; funny how that works. Enter boutique pet care company Out-U-Go. Out-U-Go is leading the way toward a workable situation for on-the-go pet owners, by providing professional, detailed services like daily dog walks ($15 for 25 min. walk), kitty care, house sitting, vacation care, and critter care. A state of the art computer system allows Out-U-Go to service more clients in a given day, and provides flexibility by giving clients the capability to add, cancel, or change their reservations online or by phone. Out-U-Go currently operates in Chicago, IL, Oak Park, IL, and Denver, CO– but look for them to expand to a city near you soon.

Although Christmas still isn’t for a few days, Santa and his Elves are hard at work, readying all of the toys for the boys and girls throughout the world. And our Jewish friends have already joyously received a majority of their eight days of presents. In that spirit, I wanted to spread some cheer to you all in the form of an alternate, Rock n Roll take on the relationship between Jesus Christ and Santa Clause. What if they are the same person? The Sin Destroyers (the World’s Christianest Rock Band) sure think that’s a possibility, and have made this Jesus/Santa duality the subject of their video Gifts to the World. Have a laugh and get into the spirit of the holidays with this amazing music video. I first saw this video a few weeks ago, but decided to wait until now to share it with you all. “He is Jesus the Christ, he’s got a list and he’s checking it twice … He does it all in a single night, to bring you footballs and Lite Brite.”

Straight out of Amsterdam, Rockabye-Baby Clothing has arrived just in time for all of my married friends. As soon as they start to have kids, they’ll be able to catapult their little rippers to the top of the ‘cool food chain’ with these hip, punk rock inspired duds– ‘for babies who are too cool (and too young) for school’ (hilarious I know). Rockabye-Baby is sold in retail stores throughout Europe, but even us Yankees can order online.

Claassen & Partners created this MSKYO ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’ style iPod speakers. Nostalgic as all hell, my German is (still) rusty so I can’t tell you much about them– except that I love them. Any Germans want to offer a translation for us? I can only guess what “DEN GUTEN ALTEN GHETTOBLASTER” means. Via Reluct
