Spring Stuff: Superbly Slinkified |

Bad pun alert: Spring is on the way. Get sprung with some applicable stuff. Hah, I kill me.
RECYCLED BOTTLE SPRING VASES
($40 each at uncommongoods.com)
These handmade lovelies from Wisconsin combine a bedspring with the bottle for a California chardonnay or East Coast vintage. Kind of makes the flowers an afterthought, huh?
COLLECTOR'S EDITION SLINKY
($7.99 at thinkgeek.com)
Fun for a girl and a boy of any age, Collector's Edition Slinky is all about kicking it really old school. This marvelous thing comes in dark metal to match its look when it hit in 1945 — with the vintage cardboard box to boot. Put it on a desk, walk it down stairs or just handle it and sing the Slinky song. You know you want to.
DACHSHUND CARD HOLDER
($4.95 at patinastores.com)
This little long dog holds cards, envelopes, etc. in its springy middle. Like Slinky Dog but more, um, executive. Sort of.
DASHBOARD NINJAS
($8.95 at mcphee.com)
What this novelty lacks in stature (3.5 inches tall) it more than makes up for in style. I mean, two freakin' ninjas! On a throwing star! For your dash! And if Dashboard Ninjas isn't the greatest name for a band since Tamale Hatchet, I don't know what is.
