Fabulously Broke in the City

Back to Toronto…

This time, without BF.

Now, I won’t feel as guilty leaving him at home when I go out — although he doesn’t seem to mind.

So I am going to make the most of it!

On my list to eat:

  • Pho from Pho Linh –> a bowl a day, is my goal; this stuff is like crack cocaine
  • Anything from J-Town –> I am going to go hogwild on sushi as a mini pat on my back
  • Macaroons from Moroco (maybe a little peek inside Anthropologie nearby? :P )
  • Hot dogs from street vendors –> I don’t care what you say, I love ‘em

On my list to ogle:

  • Sony e-book reader (the 2nd gen, not the newest one) –> Soon you shall be mine!!
  • Western Digital 1TB –> My father needs a hard drive for his photos (he has billions)
  • Anything in Anthropologie –> Won’t be ogling the prices however

On my maybe To Do list:

  • Take a little trip to see my sister. It’s going to cost another ticket though :(
  • Wander up and down Queen Street & snap pics unless it’s too effing cold

So if you don’t see me around for the next little while, I am in Toronto bliss!!!

Anything else I should think about adding to my list?

Giveaway: 3 Ninja Star Coat Hooks from Spinning Hat

About Spinning Hat

Spinning Hat is a London (UK) based, creative design company, and you can check out their blog here.

They invent fun product concepts and make them come to life for the consumer market.

Spinning Hat is well known for producing innovative men’s gifts, but they also work in other consumer product areas and design exclusive product ranges as well.

How they started

Spinning Hat started out in 2004, when Jon and Damon launched the world’s first counting bottle opener.

We then started pulling together more and more fun gifts over the following couple of years.

As our design team grew, so did our appetite for creating more and more cutting edge products.

Our design team is based in the UK, and we manufacture our products all over the world from the UK, to India and the Far East.

Our expertise in industrial manufacturing of consumer products allows us to offer services to businesses to help them transform their ideas into reality.

We also offer bespoke design services to create product ranges to retailer’s design briefs.

A few of their designs I find interesting:

SIM Notebook: Collecting data the old fashioned way ;)

Recycled Vinyl Bowl: Doing your part for the environment.

Money Maze Box: Forces you to save by locking your money in until you solve the puzzle

So what’s it all mean to you?

Spinning Hat has kindly offered to give away not just one, but THREE Ninja Star Coat Hooks to one lucky reader!

They retail for $7.99 each, and as their site says:

Fed up with the flat packed, MDF birch veneer finished world we live in ?

If so, then stop accessorising your home with uninspired IKEA functionality and put some punch back into your place with our Ninja Coat Hooks.

The Ninja Coat Hooks will transform your hallway into the scene of a Shanghai back street stand-off.

Each metal Ninja Coat Hook has one corner cleverly engineered into a screw, which allows you to fix securely to your wall or door, whilst making it look like it has been hurled from the hands of a deadly Ninjitsu assassin.


You will certainly cause a stir with your guests as they go to hang up their coats; as each of our Ninja Coat Hooks has been designed to look like the real thing, right down to the razor sharp looking edges – which are of course nice, smooth, coat friendly hanging points – but you don’t need to inform your guests of this fact.

So stir up fond memories of Big Trouble in Little China and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and add some cutting edge deadly design to your home.

You know you want them!

The Rules:

OPEN WORLDWIDE!!!!!!!!
