Bought a house, need cool things

Moving in July 31st. Need all new stuff, from plates and knives to recommendations on trimmer/edgers and self-propelled lawnmowers. Also, would like some cool unique possibly high tech decor stuff. I want things that visitors will think are cool. The house also has a living room where one whole wall is a bookcase. Thinking I'd probably go books by the foot to fill it partially but some other cool things to display would be nice.

Thinking I'll probably go with a biometric front door lock:

I also purchased this although I might not hang it anywhere. Cool tho

As you can see, I have no taste and need help.

Re: Bought a house, need cool things

Some stupid ideas I've come across with a little bit of googling:

LED flower pots


Heated towel racks: Always have a toasty warm towel

Check out the "products to improve your life" thread. I thought some of that stuff was pretty cool.

Edit...if you have an outdoor relaxing area get those outdoor speakers that look like rocks, ppl always ask about them.

Just dry off with a hair dryer like a normal person.

Re: Bought a house, need cool things

my friend just bought a fan that has no blades but instead blows air through a ring. not sure what it's called but it was pretty interesting to see.

Pick up a set of encyclopedias if you need some books to fill your shelves. You can usually find them for free or dirt cheap on craigslist. As convenient and fast as the internet/wikipedia is, having hard copies of info is useful.

Re: Bought a house, need cool things

my cousin has a badass backyard with a pool and those rock speakers. ppl are always amazed when music randomly starts playing without an apparent source.

Oh, man. I thought the thread title said you bought a HORSE. I'm so relieved.
