If you're not the handy type, or don't have the tools to make your own, these raised bed kits work pretty well. All you need is a hammer and a screwdriver to put them together: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=202520884&R=202520884 We just installed one last weekend and it took about 5 minutes to put together.

My wife and I have a computer in our bedroom at the foot of the bed that we setup on an unused coffee table. We use it to watch Hulu together, as well as the occasional VOD from Amazon.com, and quite a few streaming Netflix movies/TV shows. Plus we can surf the web together if we're looking to buy something for the family or the house, without having to peer over someone's shoulder or awkwardly deal with a laptop. It's one of the best ideas we've ever had.

Love the idea and I love the Threadless art on the walls! I have that t-shirt :)

mlleErica - Yes, I have, but that requires a wifi connection, which isn't always available. Nor can the Touch do SMS texting - only email - which not everyone has on their phone, putting me out of touch with quite a few folks. So if they could make an iPhone without the phone (but still use the 3G network of AT&T), I'd be all over it.

My wife bought me a Diaper Dude for Christmas after we found out we were expecting. She went and bought two large, "girly" bags from Target to use as diaper bags, thinking she'd never want to carry mine. The DD was so handy, though, she actually wound up using it as her primary diaper bag. She still has the other two and uses them when she and our daughter go to "Mommy" events, but on a Saturday afternoon running errands, that DD is usually right by our side.

This is my Christmas present this year. All I'm asking for from family is Amazon (Sorry, Staples...) gift cards to cover the cost. I do some freelance writing for mentalfloss.com (free plugs ok?) and plan on using this to write over my workday lunch hour as well as when I'm at the library doing research. It's going to make my life so much easier...

While these are really cool sheets, why not just get the original ones this design is based on?

I always "check in on the world" before I go to bed, generally around 1:00am, meaning I surf for a few minutes, check my email, see what's for sale today on woot.com, etc. But, like the first poster, I have a nighttime ritual that helps me decompress a little. And I like to read from a book a little bit just before turning out the lights, so that might contribute to my ease at falling asleep at night.

My wife is a stay-at-home mom who is just starting a small craft business to bring in some extra income. She's using an old sewing machine that's been handed down through the generations, so having a shiny, new one that can do all these functions would help her get going in a big way.

As a stay-at-home mom, my wife would love this book. Gimme, gimme! :)
