creating things from the stuff around you
via makedo.com.au
Via Things comes makedo: "a set of connectors for creating things from the stuff around you." The projects in their galleries look amazing, of course, and make me want to order some of these for the munchkins.
There has to be a name for this product category: the "you really don't need this product, but it provides enough structure and inspiration to kickstart what you otherwise wouldn't have done on your own at home left to your own devices on a rainy day" category.
