When someone knocks on your front door or rings the calling bell, you normally have to guess who the person could be. If you want to see who is behind the door you can use a door eye.

A door eye permits you to have a clear view of the outside world, while it restricts the person outside the door from viewing into the home. If you would like to have some special door eye, here you are some beautiful handmade examples done by Polish artist Ewa Lewandowska:

Here are some special gadgets found for beeraholics and for those who… simply like beer.

The Beer Pager

“You’re at a party and you put your beer down and oops…you forgot where you put it.” Is this scenario familiar? You can avoid it with the Beer Pager. It also keeps your beer cold. If you lose it, just press the remote control button and the Pager will beep and light up letting you know exactly where it is!

Giant Beer Glass

At least but not last: huge glass, which holds 5 full beers! You will not have to get up to fill your cup again, especially during some interesting match…
