Good Thursday, shoppers. This week in Factoids is rather home-oriented, so if you're looking for Lego cock-rings, well, maybe next week.

First we have these delightful handmade sushi pillows. I know, I know...does the nigiri or the California roll go better with my sofa? Decisions, decisions.

Next we have the end of excuses for NOT stargazing. This Star-Seeker chair both reclines and is motorized, to make your star viewing experience totally passive. It comes with a joystick, so you can always look forward to the time when you get bored and attach wheels to the thing...

We simply adore all things USB, being devout proponents of plug and, er, play...and this vacuum ducky is right up our street. Functional is good, cute is good...cute plus functional is SOLD.

For the kid's room, these butterfly nightlights are not only pretty, they're energy-friendly, for those of you paralyzed by guilt in that arena. These plastic replicas of self-propelled flowers are made up of electroluminescent fabric, ergo will glow in a most mellow fashion when applied to ceilings/walls. And of course plugged in, can't forget that bit. Available where? We're damned if we know...feel free to peruse the creator's mystery-navigation-ed site for clues.

Next, a pretty for those of you with a scholarly bent, the somewhat redundantly-titled Histomap of World History. Suitable for a door hanging, this thinger maps civilization in a "river" style, showing empires as they shrink and swell. Fascinating reading.

And finally, something to help speed you along in your quest for fan-bloody-tastic skin...be ye female or male, good soap is the *only* secret. These Unna & Co soaps are gorgeous, and, as they say, exotic. Mangosteen, charcoal, passion fruit...we'll take one of each, please.

Yes, we promised chitchat about nipple jewelry, but frankly, it's been a pisser of a week already and we need nothing so much as a steaming bath and a frosty martini. Or is it the other way around? Until next week, my Factoid-ees.
