Kikkerland is one of my favorite brands when it comes to clever knickknacks and cute items that make everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable. As I've mentioned in previous Nerdy Stuff posts about my amusement with cute kitchen supplies, this adorable Kikkerland Owl Kitchen Timer is my latest find! I saw this Beak the Clock Kitchen Timer on ModCloth.com. I love how the owl's head slowly turns as its orange beak points to the remaining time... and its wide-eyed look is just too cute!

I've been way overdue for a new bicycle -- the last one I had was purple with unicorn stickers and training wheels. Now that I have space to store a bike indoors, I immediately searched for a Hello Kitty one and found this Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty 24-inch Cruiser! This bike has a two-toned pink frame with a Hello Kitty retro design as well as a seat and bell that display Hello Kitty's cute face. It’s perfect for cruising around the beach or around town!

Maker Faire, the ultimate DIY festival, was here last weekend in the SF Bay Area. This is one of my favorite times of the year — when nerds of all ages come together for an event that encourages learning, being creative, and exploring arts, crafts, engineering, and sciences. Here are the cute items by local artists/designers and a totally useless electronics kit I hauled! Also check out a needle felted rose hair clip that I made from materials I bought at last year's Maker Faire. :) Read more...

Ever since I wrote about getting a Nintendo DSi XL last November, I've been looking for a cute case for it. There are a lot of cases I liked for the smaller Nintendo DS Lite/DSi systems (mainly Hello Kitty ones), but I didn't see any cases big enough to fit the DSi XL that caught my eye. I finally found the perfect cute case -- this Nintendo DSi XL Character Folio in "Star"! This folio keeps my system nice and protected as well as holds 6 game cards. It even folds into a stand!

I like collecting cute versions of ordinary things, especially when it's something I can use in the kitchen! I got this Scoops of Flower Measuring Spoons online at ModCloth.com, and it's absolutely adorable! This solid ceramic set comes with a blue and white striped flower pot base and four measuring spoons shaped like flowers. Each spoon is a different length and color combination, and the handles have cute little leaves on them! Read more...
