Super Jew Shirts For Kids

How about a Super Jew Shirt for a Super Jewish Kid? The Super Jew t-shirt is seen in the movie Funny People staring Seth Rogen & Adam Sandler. Ultra soft with high quality print, this shirt is perfect for the kid who stands up for Truth, Justice and the Jewish Way!

These kids shirts come in sizes 2T, 4T, 6, 8, 10, 12 -- sizes run small so you may want to order up. You can also choose the Super Jew Onesie size 12-18 mos (runs small)

And if you still haven't seen the greatness that is the Adult Super Jew Shirt, take a look.


Flashing Prism Glitter Ball

People are crazy about our rubber, bouncing glitter balls. Part ball, part "crystal ball", part snowglobe, part flashing instant disco, these fun bouncing balls are 2.5" in diameter. Made of clear rubber (not crystal), the insides are filled with water and glitter. The glitter sparkles and floats inside and flash with every bounce. Made in China.




Beeswax Hanukkah Candles

Enjoy the honey-sweet aroma and natural purity of beeswax! Each honeycomb candle is hand-rolled and cellophane wrapped to preserve its natural aroma. 45 candles to last you through Hanukkah.

Will ship November 23rd.

Happy Shopping...

Quirky Dishes For Your Sabbath Table

Friday mornings I like to tie things up from the week in preparation for Shabbat. However, I tripped across some unusual dinnerware that is interesting enough for me to pause and tell you about it. All designers below are part of the Areaware design collective.

New York Delft Plate Set by Lovegrove & Repucci
$ 100.00 a set.

The classic tradition of Dutch Delft hits the streets of New York City.

Seconds Dinner Plates (set of 4)
$ 132.00

Jason Miller's “Seconds” series challenges the rules that surround modern day consumer items. Do decorations always need to be centered? Is a whole bird better than a half? Here, Jason’s elegant “mistakes” are artfully and carefully applied to porcelain dinner plates. Each set contains 4 unique patterns.

Alma Fortune Cup - Gold Short Simple
$ 75.00

Materials:
Porcelain, 22k gold

In this collaboration, redstr/collective and Tobias Wong have taken the Alma Fortune cup and created a new level of esoteric luxury. Inspired by the age old tradition of Tasseography (Turkish coffee fortune telling), this cup with saucer has a one-of-a-kind, 22k gold fortune.

What do you think? Would you set you Sabbath table (or any night) with these dishes?
