Sony has unveiled a new line of sports headphones geared towards your active lifestyle. Among them are the Sony WF-SP700N splash-proof earbuds ($179), the first wireless noise-canceling sports headphones on the market. Perfect for use in noisy environments, the earbuds were tested in real workouts and are designed to perform through sweat and splashes. They also come with a one-touch-open charging case that provides up to three hours of music playback when fully charged while the case holds two more three-hour charges for powering up on-the-go.

The Tree Story Container Set by Kokili is driven by a desire to connect everyday patterns of living to the simple pleasures of the world around us. Sitting together on a table, the little forest delightfully holds the most commonly used herbs and spices. The set is available in a numbered, limited edition of 10. All sets are signed and given a certificate of authenticity.

Containers are culled from leftover, solid wood off-cuts, with species grouped to reflect particular regions of the world. Tops are made of a lead free cast glass. A cork stopper provides a seal to the container. Trays for the herb containers are available in polished nickel coated brass or solid wood. If interested in purchasing you will need to contact the maker to get pricing.

I seem to have a love for anthropomorphic design. The way that animals can look interesting or awesome with human bodies. Anyways, enjoy this new collection of anthropomorphic characters posters on Hey Lucky. These are a one and done collection with a limited print of 100 each.  So get them while their hot. They will run you about $40 a pop and it's only the poster, however it gives you a chance to spruce up a space and find that perfect frame to match your style.
