Old-School Candlestrip Goes New School in Look
Power outlets have become such a big part of our lives that there's really no use in trying to ignore or disguise them — why not embrace the look of a power outlet, or appreciate the mess of cords that power your life?
That's the idea behind the Candlestrip, too — long, tapered candles that can be fired up without a cord — but you "plug" them into the base that holds them. What an innovative design that also happens to be ironic, clever, and yes, pretty.

Eco-Friendly Outlet Banishes Power Vampires For Good
Vampire power month may be over (how appropriate that it was in October, no?), but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to find ways to reduce our electric bills!

I've already got my laptop working overtime at the office and at home, so you can imagine that I'm a pretty powerful energy vampire on my own.
Plug Into This Cute Robot Power Strip
I love it when someone takes a boring household item that we all need — like a power strip — and turns it into something fun. Case in point: the Electric Man power strip from Urban Outfitters. This cute robot-shaped power strip has four grounded outlets — one on each of the little guy's appendages.
7-Eleven's Newest Plug? Wine
Two Buck Chuck better watch its back — it's about to face some stiff competition. On Tuesday, 7-Eleven announced its plans to release value wines in the United States and Japan.
7-Eleven will launch two proprietary California wines — a Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon — to roughly 15,000 outlets under the Yosemite Road label.
3D Cubic Switchplate: Love It or Leave It?
Outlets are usually a source of stress — there's rarely enough of them in your place to feed your gadgets, and they've definitely never been high on any scale of pleasing aesthetic home tech. You could change all that with these 3D Cubic Switchplates ($9), which embrace the utilitarian nature of the outlets and light switches by framing them and making them look a lot cooler. (It worked for cords!)
Of course, I think most people would prefer to camouflage the outlet, especially when it's got cords coming out of its face.
