Karakuri are mechanized puppets or automata from Japan dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The word 'Karakuri' means a "mechanical device to tease, trick, or take a person by surprise." Japanese designer Keisuke Saka created this papercraft kit series filled with surprises and a dose of dark humor. This robot takes a few teetering-tottering small steps for robo-kind! Mr. Saka is one of Japan's most honored paper engineers. His thoughtfully rendered designs use the fewest moving parts to communicate their magical, elegant movement. Cutting, folding and glueing required in assembly. Each one takes less than two hours of time to complete. Completely instructions included. Suprisingly robust if correctly built. * Packaging: Packed in a 8 1/2" x 11" sleeve with a colorful cover. * This item normally ships in 48 hours. See less

Wood jewelry is typically more folksy than chic. But Tadd Sackville-West of Cero Designs goes against the grain with these stunning wood veneer cuffs. They'll immediately become the go-to accessory as an organic, even avant-garde finish to any look, dressed up or dressed down. Two widths are available here: The 2" Kyasha and 2-1/2" Hiroi. These all-wood cuffs fit most women's wrists (and even a few men's!), and they are strong enough to slip on and off endlessly. We have only one pal who needed to custom order a larger size--but she's a potter, so has very robust wrists! What gets devotees isn't the fit, but having to decide which wood to choose. Incite Wonder Woman envy and get two! See less

Clocky is the alarm clock that runs away and hides when you don't wake up. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But only one...if you try to hit snooze more than once, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide. When it's snug, it will beep forlornly until you stagger up to switch him off. Perfect for that friend that is always late (even if that friend is you). More a smart robot than a clock, Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time. Set your snooze time, 0-9 min, can jump from up to 3 feet and moves on wood and carpet. Backlit alarm, run-away can be disabled and there is a low-battery warning. See less

The streamlined bottles are totally free of bisphenol-A (BPA), the toxic leach in the ubiquitous polycarbonate bottles, thanks to a specially formulated compound called Eastman Tritan™. Safety first, indeed. But, it's simply, the best-looking water bottle on the market. We love the crystal clear shell, inspired by the organic beauty of blown glass. The “no-worry cap” swivels open at the hinge with a touch of the button, and a special disk inside the top allows you to slip in a message or image to motivate or amuse you with each gulp. The wide mouth is large enough for ice cubes, while designed to minimize splashing. The integrated handle allows for comfy carrying. Made in North America. Holds 750ml of refreshing goodness. And the best part? One percent of sales benefit safe water programs worldwide! H2Oh! See less

A swell couple, indeed, Mr. and Mrs. Jones stand prime to provide juice at a moment's notice. Reflecting a very English sense of humor (Is that a stiff upper lip on Mr. Jones?) with a teatime whimsy, this duo makes an amusing conversation piece. And they're good dipping dishes, as well. UK designer Polly George gets the juice flowing with this porcelain couple. A founder of Luna & Curious, an artist studio in London's East end, George's signature white ceramics are designed and made in rural Kent. Each piece is hand dipped in tactile glaze, so no two are exactly the same.

Shane's belt buckles are another of the products that we started with at A+R, and they are a truly phenomenal item that we will never be without. The buckles are cast from clear resin in different layers, so they have a depth and 3-dimensional aspect that, combined with the evocative and lyrical artwork, take them into the realm of wearable art. Here a mosquito looks as if preserved in amber. The buckles are easily removed from the belt, so you can customize if you want, and the leather is available in black or brown. Sizes given are for the last (tightest) punched hole, so choose a size slightly bigger than your waist. * Size: Buckle is 3.25 " x 2.25", belt is 1.75" wide. * Sizes given are for the last (tightest) punched hole. * This item is a special order and normally ships in 7-10 days.
