I Just Like It: Naturally Self-Watering Planter
Forgot to water the plants again? This self-watering planter is made from naturally porous unglazed earthenware. The water goes in the central chamber, and seeps gently out through the walls (the clever thing is the plants’ own capillary action determines the rate of water seepage, so there’s less risk of over-watering). Available from Joey Roth. Read more about the history of this kind of irrigation pot (called an ‘Olla’) here, it’s been used for hundreds of years and is now making a comeback.
Montre Sticky Note Watches
Absent-mindedness or ‘brain fog’ goes with many autistic disorders, and everyone has their favourite way of dealing with it. If you’re the sort who likes simple, hands-on solutions, this product may be for you. It’s basically a sticky note that wraps around your wrist. One way to use it – draw a clock-face and mark your appointments around the face, then write the details on the strap. Available from PA Design in France. Via Better Living Through Design.
I Just Like It: Tie Tea Mug
Anything that helps keep messiness down is a winner with me. This simple mug offers a neat solution for keeping the tea bag label from falling into your tea (something that happens a lot with me, cos’ I like to stir my tea as I drink it). Available in right-handed and left-handed versions.
I Just Like It: Sapien Bookcase
A more comfortable way to browse, and apparently works great for stacking towels too.
I Just Like It: Droog Lampshade
Hang On Easy Pendant Lampshade by Droog
Unscrewing a standard full-cover lampshade to change a lightbulb, while balancing on a rickety stepladder, is not a recommended activity for anyone who lacks coordination or fine motor skills. This lampshade by Droog is probably the easiest to remove and replace.
