This Industreal Embroidery Bowl ($228) is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's a glazed porcelain bowl that has holes bored in its surface to allow a pattern to be embroidered on the bowl itself. It comes with three different patterns, or you can create your own. If you're a skilled stitcher, I think stitching a pattern, color scheme, or specific type of imagery on the bowl would be a great way to personalize a housewarming (or other) gift. I also like impermanence of it. If you get sick of the pattern you've stitched, or it no longer matches your décor, you can always remove it and start from scratch. Unfortunately it runs a little pricey, and to me, it doesn't look or seem worth over $200. What do you think?

Industreal's The Last One Ashtray (about $20) could be seen as ironic or sincere, depending on who is using it. Either way, I think it's clever and chic. What do you think?
