<p><strong>2. Remember Rings</strong> [<a href="http://www.alaskajewelry.com/remember-rings-never-forget-anniversary-p-2040.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>

<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/2.gif"  alt="Remember Rings" /></center></p>
<p><strong>3. Ring Sight</strong> [<a href="http://www.ilovebadthings.com/2008/08/ring-sight.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Now you can increase your “handgun” aim with a ring sight.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/3.jpg"  alt="Ring Sight" /></center></p>
<p><strong>4. iRing</strong> [<a href="http://www.behance.net/Gallery/iRing-UPDATED/40678" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>This is an original Concept I made of a Ring that could control the Playback functionality of your iPod/iPhone device Wirelessly. Modeled in Max 9 and Rendered in Vray.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/4.jpg"  alt="iRing" /></center></p>
<p><strong>5. Soap Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.nwudesign.com/index/substance_frameset.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>These soap rings disappear when they are used &#8211; a small suggestion that products can live seamlessly around us.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/5.jpg"  alt="Soap Ring" /></center></p>
<p><strong>6. Inner Message Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.yoonjungyun.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The Inner Message Ring designed by Jungyun Yoon. Each Inner Message Ring with hidden letters on the inside. If you wear this ring, after a while, the message will imprint on the wearer&#8217;s finger. The two messages here are &#8220;marry me&#8221; and &#8220;always.&#8221; Good idea!</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/6.jpg"  alt="Inner Message Ring" /></center></p>
<p><strong>7. Gear Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.kinektdesign.com/products.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The Gear Ring is made from high quality matte stainless steel. It features six micro-precision gears that turn in unison when the outer rims are spun (as can be seen in the video).</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/7.jpg"  alt="Gear Ring" /></center></p>

<p><strong>8. Hidden Diamond Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.johnwelden.com/johnwelden.com/Ring.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>With a gentle yet firm outward pull from both sides, the ring opens to reveal the diamond.  With light pressure from both sides, it shuts with a positive and audible click.  When closed the ring feels solid and secure.  </p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/8.jpg"  alt="Hidden Diamond Ring" /></center></p>

<p><strong>9. Human Tooth Ring</strong> [<a href="http://vanderglas.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The Human Tooth Ring by Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas. A bit creepy for me to have tooth on the ring&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilised, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.&#8221;</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/9.jpg"  alt="Human Tooth Ring" /></center></p>
<p><strong>10. Metsa Three Finger Wooden Rings</strong> [<a href="http://metsadesign.com/ " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Another ridiculous ring design for me&#8230; I don&#8217;t think it looks good and more, it doesn&#8217;t seem comfortable to me at all. Like you put handcuffs on your finger.</p>
<p>From designer: &#8220;Born out of a desire to create jewelery with a strong societal conscious, the Food line of rings are each produced under ethical practices with sustainable materials. Together the smooth polished wooden finish is combined with the angular design of the ring, each complimenting each other over a number of different wooden materials. Four different materials feature different qualities, styles include African Blackwood, Cocobolo, Camatillo and Ebony.&#8221;</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/10.jpg"  alt="Metsa Three Finger Wooden Rings" /></center></p>
<p><strong>11. Flower Pot Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.papersnake.ca/portfolio/portfolio.php?p=2004#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>It caught my eyes! The Flower Pot Ring by allison wells. I really wonder how the ring will rest when you are not wearing it&#8230; Does that hurt the plant? </p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/11.jpg"  alt="Flower Pot Ring" /></center></p>
<p><strong>12. Rasp Ring</strong> [<a href="http://www.missandladysboutique.de/products/rasp-ring" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>A funny ring. The Rasp Ring made of stainless steel with a partial sapphire rasp coating. The nail file designed as a as a ring, I love it!</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/12.jpg"  alt="Rasp Ring" /></center></p>
<p><strong>13. Cocktail Glass Ring</strong> [<a href="http://fridajeppsson.se/brilliant/brilliant1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Unique ring designed by Frida Jeppsson for the Bombay Sapphire Designer Glass Awards.</p>
<p>I guess it must be the most easily broken ring ever</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/04/ring/13.jpg"  alt="Cocktail Glass Ring" /></center></p>

<p>Door knob or dorr handle, can&#8217;t be more normal in our daily life&#8230; How can that be crerative or unusual? Check this post to see how those designer daring twists on a traditionally utilitarian theme and unlock your perceptions of what door knob/door handle could be. </p>
<p><strong>1. Disappearing Doorknob Concept</strong> [<a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/security/the-doorknob-condition-keeps-unwanted-guests-from-entering-078895" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Innovative door handle system, designed by Arnaud Lapierre, promises to ensure your privacy by hiding the knob when the door is locked. It uses clever pulley system that retracts the exterior door knob when pulled from the inside.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/1.jpg"  alt="Disappearing Doorknob Concept" /></center><br />
<span id="more-580"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. Light Bulb Door Handle Concept</strong> [<a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/12/09/a-knobby-light/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>His Knob Light is a door knob with an internal generator that stores energy and illuminates the way in emergencies or whenever you need a guide to the loo. How it relates to the butterfly effect theory is esoteric but simply by expanding the knob’s function to include illumination, you effectively change the way you use the knob.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/2.jpg"  alt="Light Bulb Door Handle Concept" /></center></p>
<p><strong>3. Help Lock doorknob</strong> [<a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/12/30/you-fall-down-in-the-bath-so-much/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The first time you activate the Help Lock doorknob, you program in a phone number and a time. This is the amount of time you get to be in the bathroom without the door going NUTS!</p>
<p>From the first time forward, each time you close the door and hit the “go” button, you have the alloted amount of time to use the toilet, shower, bath, or do whatever else – after that alloted amount of time, an alarm goes off!</p>
<p>The alarm sounds for 30 warning seconds (it’s quiet) during which you can still turn it off, followed by Loud Noises and a phone call to the programmed number.</p>
<p>Not sure is that a good idea&#8230;the only thing I know is I will be driven madness to those button&#8230;alarm&#8230;noise things.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/3.jpg"  alt="Help Lock doorknob" /></center></p>
<p><strong>4. Door handle</strong>  [<a href="http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_file.asp?from_url=true&#038;portfolio_id=581750&#038;individual_id=133680" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/4.jpg"  alt="Door handle" /></center></p>
<p><strong>5. HanLED glows in the dark</strong> [<a href="http://www.hometone.org/entry/hanled-glows-in-dark/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The HanLED is one intuitive sustainable handle that lights up when you approach the door, you put the key and the back side lights, finally you unlock the door and you get a warm welcome with a friendly green signal. Taking energy from the sun during the daytime, it gets powered, thereby letting the LED to glow in the dark when sought after.</p>

<p><strong>6. Art Glass Doorknobs</strong> [<a href="http://www.outofthebluedesignstudio.com/Out_of_the_Blue_Design_Studio/Art_Glass_Doorknobs_.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Out Of The Blue Design Studio will knock your socks off with literally dozens of spectacularly beautiful doorknobs crafted with care from exquisite art glass. The available designs range from natural images of leaves, flowers and even a globe, to more abstract themes that serve to focus your attention – and likely the sun’s rays on a bright clear day. These cooler than cool doorknobs look so good you’ll be tempted to forbid people from touching them for fear of leaving fingerprints.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/6.jpg"  alt="Art Glass Doorknobs" /></center></p>
<p><strong>7. NUMLOCK HANDLE</strong> [<a href="http://www.gadgets-reviews.com/numlock-handle-concept.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Designer Jess Han has re-imagined the simple door handle with a DaVinci Code style lock that denies entry for all but the chosen few (cue: dramatic music). This intuitive door handle dubbed the “NUMLOCK HANDLE” features a numbered dial-lock that re-shuffles and locks itself after every successful entry. Get the code incorrect and Tom Hanks gets punched in the gut by an albino assassin.  The numbers can be replaced or supplemented with braille for that extra level of mystery.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/7.jpg"  alt="NUMLOCK HANDLE" /></center></p>
<p><strong>8. The Illuminating Door Handle</strong> [<a href="http://freshome.com/2007/04/12/the-illuminating-door-handle/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>s you can see from this pictures the handle indicates the room is occupied with a red light on the outside of the door when the thumb turn is activated. When the room is vacant there is a continuous green light on the outside. This door handle can be very useful for toilets, and especially in college dorms, when students can send an obvious “Don’t disturb !!!”a message to their roommates.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/9.jpg"  alt="The Illuminating Door Handle" /></center></p>
<p><strong>9. &#8220;Jiong&#8221; Doorknobs</strong> [<a href="http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=228407&#038;set_id=287189&#038;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiong" target="_blank">Jiong</a> is an interesting Chinese character that sports a half-smiling and half-fainting face, and is very popular on Internet. People use its caricature as an emoticon to display shock and dramatize a situation. Designer Haikun Deng plans to make a drama queen out of Jiong cause she has fashioned it to “commit suicide” if you slam the door shut! SLAM and the bl@@dy door knob hits you hard in your hands!</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/03/knob/8.jpg"  alt="Jiong Doorknobs" /></center></p>

<p>Pencil is a normal stationary in our daily life &#8211; solid pigment core inside a protective casing. However, it will be really abnormal when it comes with a planting the top which contains seed, coating with 99% pure gold or has “pre-chewed” markets to prevent kids spend time chewing their pencil… In a word, lots of interesting and unusual pencils in this post, don’t miss it…</p>
<p><strong>1. A Seed of a Pencil</strong> [<a href="http://www.neatorama.com/2007/07/09/a-seed-of-a-pen/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The “Seed of a Pencil”, a pencil designed by Zeev Zohar. It is a pencil that contains seed at the top. When the pencil gets too short for writing, it’s time for you to plant it. Not sure when they gonna make this. Pretty interesting.</p>

<p>Concentrate is a british studio that design products specifically for school kids. their aim is to<br />
help children concentrate at school by identifying the reasons that they might be distracted,<br />
uncomfortable or unable to focus. one of their more tongue-in-cheek designs is the &#8216;pre-chewed&#8217;<br />
pencil. &#8216;no need to spend time chewing your pencil &#8211; just get down to some concentrated thinking<br />
and who knows what you might come up with&#8217;.</p>

<p><strong>3. Drumstick pencil designed by moko sellars</strong> [<a href="http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=81 " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>

<p><strong>5. Peg Pencil</strong>  [<a href="http://blog.sub-studio.com/2008/02/peg-pencil-by-yuta-watanabe.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The Peg Pencil by Yuta Watanabe. &#8221; Peg pencil is my interpretation of the mechanical pencil. Through intution an our understanding of object, we realise its intentions. &#8221; A clever design!</p>

<p><strong>6. Pocket Clip Pencil</strong> [<a href="http://www.presentandcorrect.com/item.php?item_id=565&#038;page=6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Handmade in east London, each white pencil has a clip carved into it, so that it can be attached to pockets, satchels and book covers just like a biro. It comes packaged on a card and we think it&#8217;s a classic in the making!</p>

<p>This is one definitely crazy, wonder who will actually use that pencil.</p>

<p><strong>8. Pencils with Swarovski Crystals</strong> [<a href="http://www.spoonsisters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Product_Code=51904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>A lovely gift for the woman who has everything, pencils adorned with Swarovski crystals. These beautiful pencils are colored by hand with vegetable dyes that permeate the entire pencil; when sharpened, the ends maintain the dark stain, never showing the natural color of the wood. Sold as a set of five &#8212; each with a different color crystal</p>
<p>I usually prefer mechanical pencils, but I believe I could make room for these. My boss and co workers would never take them!</p>

<p>Write a rainbow with a single pencil. Each triangular oversized pencil has red, green, blue and yellow lead.</p>

<p>When innovation becomes part of a clock&#8217;s design, it makes something as simple as reading time an experience&#8230; giving you a different way to tell time. We have already shown you something about creative watches: <a href="http://www.gadgetsharp.com/20091223/10-modern-watch-designs/">modern watch</a> and <a href="http://www.gadgetsharp.com/20091227/10-creative-watch-concept-designs/">concept watch</a>. And today, I will introduce 11 brilliant wall clock designs to you, which will definitely enhance your time-reading experience. Have a look at these clocks to see what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Daily life wall clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.designswan.com/archives/10-creative-and-innovative-product-design-5.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>This wall clock doesn’t indicate time by number and hands. Instead, the figures of a grandmother, grandchild and dog represent the hour, minute and second hands respectively. Silhouettes of nature and daily life are arranged around the clock, and each figure moves through these scenes to represent the time.</p>
<p>the time presented by this scene is 11:03:49 am / pm</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/01/clock/1.jpg"  alt="Daily life wall clock" /></center></p>
<p><span id="more-405"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. Catena Wall Clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.unicahome.com/catalog/item.asp?id=47558" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Designed by Andreas Dober, this wall clock harkens back to traditional mechanical clocks. Copper digits mounted onto a bicycle chain place emphasis on the cyclical nature of time.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/01/clock/2.jpg"  alt="Catena Wall Clock" /></center></p>
<p><strong>3. on Time Clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/geeky-clocks-the-on-time-wall-clock/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Are you one of those people who is always late, so you set your clock a few minutes fast to make sure you get to places on time? Then maybe you should get yourself one of these cool clocks, the On-Time Wall Clock. The On-Time Wall Clock features a minute hand which is bent forward, so it always shows the time 3 minutes later than it is, very cool!</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/01/clock/3.jpg"  alt="on Time Clock" /></center></p>
<p><strong>4. Time In Letters: QLOCKTWO</strong> [<a href="http://store.biegertfunk.com/products/qlocktwo<br />
" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Meet the new and unusual QLOCKTWO, a clock that tells time not in numbers, but in words, from Biegert &#038; Funk.  Here is the description of the item as we found it on the site of the manufacturers:  “QLOCKTWO has a quadratic matrix of letters, where some of the letters are illuminated. The time is displayed as text in five minute intervals. If you need to have a more exact time, look in the corner at the illuminated dots. QLOCKTWO has a brightness sensor; with its help the illuminating power of the letters is automatically adjusted “. The clock is available in a variety of colors, just choose the one that goes the best with your funky interior. It is also provided with a light sensor for easy adapting to the light changes in the room.</p>

<p><strong>5. Whiteboard Clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26393262" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Now you can be creative and design your own clock every day with this dry erase board clock.</p>

<p><strong>6. Fan clock by stanislav katz</strong> [<a href="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/4943/stanislav-katz.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>stanislav katz is an industrial designer from latvia, one of his design proposals is this &#8216;fan clock&#8217;.<br />
colored space between the hour and minute hands suggest a traditional folded hand-fan.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/01/clock/6.jpg"  alt="stanislav katz" /></center></p>
<p><strong>7. word clock slowly reveals the time with text</strong> [<a href="http://www.christiaanpostma.nl/index.htm?clock.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>At first glance, the display looks like a bunch of random matchsticks, but over time, they gradually transform into words that tell the time. Conceived by Dutch industrial designer Christiaan Postma, the clock goes beyond the simple dial and number paradigms we’re all used to seeing, and really thinks outside of the box. Postma used over 150 individual clock mechanisms to power the 55-inch square timepiece.</p>
<p>Not sure about its functionality-wise. But it is definitely somthing can drive me crazy</p>

<p><strong>8. ALBERO Clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.momentoitalia.com/tutti%20file/moderncuckooclocks_1.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Enchanting design, when on the wall it immediately catches your eye. Made of a wenge colored wood and white tree design, or a black painted wood with orange tree design it inspires an organic theme, a step back to nature and ecology.Featuring a German mechanism, Italian design and craftmanship, the cuckoo can be set at a high,low or off volume. It strikes at every hour but it can be switched off, while a light sensor make it stays quiet at night. While striking, you can hear waterfalls on the background.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2010/01/clock/8.jpg"  alt="ALBERO Clock" /></center></p>
<p><strong>9. Retro Flip Down Clock</strong> [<a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/retro-flip-down-clock-internal-gear-operated/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>

<p>The toilet is the most common and iconic accessory in a bathroom, the one that we used every day and we past without notice. While over the past few years, the toilet seat has developed and morphed in to more than just a necessity. A whole new market has opened up in order to satisfy the desire for creativity and innovation.</p>
<p><strong>1. HT4-Comfortable toilet seat for all generations</strong> [<a href="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/ht4-modular-toilet-bends-to-the-needs-of-special-users/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p> HT4 by Cesar Estrada is a toilet seat designed for everyone from kids to handicapped and elderly people. Toilet seat with moving arms can be adjusted in different positions to help people sit and stand with ease. Besides this, it goes higher for people without strength in their knees and legs. Also, it has an ergonomic back for rest and comfort. In nutshell, it’s a smart toilet seat for all generations.</p>

<p><span id="more-347"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. Tag toilet seat </strong> [<a href="http://www.designswan.com/archives/interesting-toilet-lid-design.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The idea behind the design is to make everyone has their own lid. I just wonder, how heavy that seat will be?</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/toiletseat/2.jpg"  alt="Tag toilet seat " /></center></p>
<p><strong>3. &#8216;Enjoy every moment&#8217;: Toilet seat that helps lower down your water consumption </strong> [<a href="http://www.hometone.org/entry/enjoy-every-moment-toilet-seat-that-helps-lower-down-your-water-consumption/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>“Enjoy every moment” by the ingeniously talented designer Lodovico Bernardi is an eco-friendly toilet seat for the reason that it ensures minimum water consumption. The water used in the washerbasin and shower which otherwise goes waste is reused thereby directly effecting the household water consumption significantly. On the whole, the innovative toilet system makes you the proud ecofriend.</p>
<p>a bit confused about how the seat help to save the water&#8230; @_@</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/toiletseat/3.jpg"  alt="Toilet seat that helps lower down your water consumption" /></center></p>
<p><strong>4. AutoClose &#8211; Automatic Toilet Seat Cover </strong> [<a href="http://www.trendir.com/archives/003480.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>A built-in sensor keeps the toilet cover open when a user is present, and will gently close the cover when the user leaves the area. AutoClose doesn’t slam- it’s equipped with a soft close feature that will lower the seats automatically as you wash your hands. This eliminates two problems at the same time: air-borne germs from the toilet, and the age-old question of whether the toilet set should be left up or down!</p>

<p><strong>5. Toilet Seat Scale by Haikun Deng</strong> [<a href="http://www.likecool.com/Toilet_Seat_Scale--Design--Home.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The toilet seat with a built-in digital scale, a good idea? By Haikun Deng. Thanks Haikun&#8217;s cute illustrations, I love them! Maybe after a fierce battle, you will feel a bit lighter and you can count what you lose today.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/toiletseat/5.jpg"  alt="Toilet Seat Scale by Haikun Deng" /></center></p>
<p><strong>6. Car racing toilet seat</strong> [<a href="http://izismile.com/2009/09/14/creative_toilet_lids_13_pics.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p> These 2 toilet seats are definitely designed for car fans.</p>

<p>As the debate rages on, it’s no longer entirely clear how good or bad the Christmas tree industry is for the environment. One thing’s for sure, however, even if you’re not worried about the impact on the environment, there are plenty of alternative options to have a much cool, creative, usable Christmas tree compared with the traditional ones.  Here are 13 creative and unusual Christmas tree designs we collected from the world and hope you enjoy.</p>
<p><strong>1. Beary Christmas Tree</strong> [<a href="http://sparklette.net/holidays/christmas-tree-of-the-day-2-2008/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Beary Christmas trees are a hit with the crowd, and they have been done over and over and over again. But obviously, no one’s complaining! To me, With neat alternating layers of bears in green, pink and white, it’s almost like a delicious layered cake! </p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/christmastree/6.jpg"  alt="Beary Christmas Tree" /></center></p>
<p><span id="more-327"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. Face Tree</strong> [<a href="http://sparklette.net/holidays/christmas-tree-of-the-day-11-2007/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>The “face tree” is a tree of many faces. Hundreds of magazine cutouts of faces have been folded and arranged neatly together. Not particularly beautiful, but creative anyhow.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/christmastree/7.jpg"  alt="Face Tree" /></center></p>
<p><strong>3. Pac-Man Christmas Tree</strong> [<a href="http://kartones.net/blogs/kartones/archive/2007/12/05/humour-geeky-xmas-pacman-tree-in-madrid.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>This has gotta be the coolest Christmas tree I think I’ve ever seen. Pac-Man and his ghostly pals have been reproduced in this giant holiday light display.</p>
<p>The “tree” features a fully-animated version of the classic arcade game, rendered across thousands of colored LEDs.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/christmastree/1.jpg"  alt="Pac-Man Christmas Tree" /></center></p>
<p><strong>4. Library Christmas Tree</strong> [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/donaldist/1803976340/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Christmas Tree made of books. The tree is at the locval University Library in Aalborg. The books used to make trees were old reference books that weren&#8217;t used much anymore &#8211; they are bound to be available onlineAnd. It is a brilliant idea to make use of those books and make a clever, styled tree.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://img.gadgetsharp.com/2009/12/christmastree/2.jpg"  alt="Library Christmas Tree" /></center></p>

<p>As the world’s biggest glass Christmas tree, the Maruno is not just a celebration of this time of the year but also of centuries-old Venetian craftsmanship. The tree was prepared by a group of glassblowers from the Benetian island of Murano (from which the tree gets its name).</p>

<p><strong>11. Spinning Fiber Optic Tree</strong> [<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/44233857@N00/2132851177" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a>]</p>
<p>Fiber Optic Christmas trees have been around for a while now, and unfortunately most of them are so ugly and gawdy that no one with a respectable sense of style and decor would ever put them up. This design changes all that. The spinning fiber optic tree doesn’t just light up the room, it also draws attention because it spins. Be warned though, it’s probably a good idea to not hang ornaments from this tree.</p>
