Beers Not Bombs

Beers Not Bombs makes bottle openers out of Peace Bronze, a bronze alloy created from cabling that once powered nuclear missile systems. There are three different openers currently available on the site: The Bomb (my favorite, shown below), The Aviator, and The Maverick. In addition to making cool and unique bottle openers, 20% of Beers Not Bombs profits are donated to peace and social justice organizations. They also have a second site called From War to Peace where you can buy Peace Bronze jewelry and other accessories.

Tattly

Tatt.ly is a temporary tattoo store that combines the fun of temporary tattoos with the coolness of good design. Tina Roth Eisenberg created Tattly out of frustration over the poor quality of children's temporary tattoos. 
"Tattly started out of my frustration that temporary children tattoos are often hideous looking. Think Clip Art gone Tattoo. I was ready to put designy, cool, typographic tattoos on my daughter’s arm. Tattly was born."
The store currently has 20 tattoos up, but hopefully the project will continue to expand as more designers discover the greatness that is Tattly. Here are my three favorite tattoos:


Check out the site and buy a few! They're only $5 for a set of two and you'll have the most stylish (temporary) tattoos around.
