In third grade you handed off notes with check boxes. Now that you’re older, you may have to class it up a bit with Madebygirl’s four 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ cards that you can use to distribute to your lover(s).
Or frame it for a semi-ironic photo underneath your wedding picture.

Long before Barack Obama was the messiah, he was just a lowly candidate for Illinois State Senate.
Show everyone that you were there first with his ‘96 campaign t-shirt.

While it may not look like much, the above clock can be fashioned to be any size you like, such as, your entire wall. The only catch is that the hands are not extendable and measure 45 and 50 cm (roughly 17 and 19 inches). Conceivably, if you paint the wall behind the clock there are no limits to the designs you could implement.
The numbers are self adhesive for easy instillation, and the clock comes from England (a.k.a. land of the worst exchange rate ever).

When you are stocking your kitchen, skip the plain Walmart utensils and go for something a little more … loud.
This set of seven utensils takes the most boring part of anyone’s kitchen and gives it a more Woodstock-y twist. And for around the same price as your typical set, you can’t go wrong.

That calendar in the picture above? It’s not made of paper. It’s actually written directly on the wall using special chalkboard paint.
While it only comes in a handful of colors, a crafty painter (and Marta Stewart living reader) can mix with regular paint to create any color. The paint is available in a handful of places, but Consumer Whore is pretty sure you have a Target nearby. The paint covers up to 125 square feet.

From Jellio, comes the Rubix Cube table. A little pricey, but a damn cool way to spruce up your “kid’s” room.
Unfortunately, the panels do not rotate like a real cube. But look at the upside, you can just tell people your 11-foot-tall friend solved it.

Just in case “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” was not enough for you, online retailer GreatBigStuff makes larger versions of everyday items.
My personal favorite: a computer key you can sit on. You can customize the above key with any text or picture you want. They also have giant Monopoly pieces and huge scissors, that you presumably shouldn’t run with.
Oh and file this one under “bad catalog picture”.
