Anti-Black Friday DIY gift inspiration for da Homies
It’s Black Friday, y’all! And as much as we love (and SO encourage) consumerism, we at Offbeat Home, thought we’d put together a little DIY gift roundup from the annals of our archives. You can either brave the throng of bargain shoppers today, or you can save your precious toes from being stomped on by tackling any of these DIY gift projects…
Rainbow flatware and cutlery round-up: like a pot of gold for your mouth
Reader Emma recently shared a link to this set of rainbow flatware from Fiesta, and I TOTALLY get why she was so stoked about it — how happy would you be to open up your silverware drawer and see these smiling up at you? Just knowing this set existed had me wondering what ELSE in the world might be rainbow-adorned, designed for you to eat with it, and not made of plastic — and here’s what I found.
Black damask zip storage bags WUT!?
I just laid eyes on these gallon-size zip storage bags in a fancy black damask pattern. They’re perfect if you’re looking for something fancy in which to store your holiday leftovers, or in which to send them home with your guests.
7 regular purses from ModCloth that can totally double as bangin’ diaper bags
Since the standard size for diaper bags tends to hover between 15 to 17″ wide and 10 to 13″ tall a LOT of bags can get the job done. In fact, I highly recommend picking a medium-to-large bag you adore and using it to house both your baby’s stuff and your stuff — most large bags can easily hold a few diapers, baby food, car keys, a cell phone and a notebook with room to spare.
Funky home stuffs on sale from ModCloth
I had a guilty pleasure shopping spree day recently on my go-to favorite shopping site, ModCloth. While I was purchasing a few unnecessary but awesome items, I took note of some kick-ass home stuffs that were on sale! I thought I’d share them with you… you know… to spread the fun of a naughty shopping spree!
Skull-covered damask shower curtain
We featured a skull-filled bathroom a couple weeks ago, and for those of you who were inpsired, I thought this $22 skull-covered damask shower curtain might be an excellent accent piece.
Put a fin on your nesting bowls!
You know how much we at Offbeat Home love to decorate with sharks. I stumbled upon these fishy nesting bowls and I couldn’t resist sharing.
