Phall Harvest for Your Home!


Setting the table with style is a PHAG Thanksgiving tradition! Sure, you can buy and use fall produce for an organic look, but you can also invest in pieces with glitz and flare that can be part of your decorating tradition year-after-year.

For starters, check out these amazing hand-crafted fabric pumpkins, featuring beaded details and recycled door pulls as stems.

If you have a large guest list, you can invest in these miniature metallic pumpkins small enough to accompany each place setting at the table, and a perfect take-home gift for your guests!

While we're in the spirit of a little fall shimmer, be sure and consider mercury glass- one of the key decor trends of the season. Check out this artfully sculpted mercury glass pumpkin, featuring shimmering metallic accents and a beautiful coiled glass stem. You can continue the mercury glass theme by using some acorn glass candle holders to add height to the table display. These holders feature a finial-style base with a sculpted acorn design. Each holds a single taper candle, and is crafted of beautiful golden mercury glass.

Whatever the style of your table, this Thanksgiving, let us all give thanks for our blessings and be kind to one another always!

Back 2 Superlicious School


It's that time of year, you know, when the end of summer is near and just the thought of school draws a tear. But let's not focus on the stress of it all, instead, let's remember what makes B2S a ball!

For starters, it's time to strap on a brand new bag! Our easy-clean vinyl POP Messenger collection features bright colored messenger bags with pop culture graphics. Choose from "Peace Out" (Buddha), "Prince Charming" (Rubber Duck), and "Superlicious" (Poodle).

Fill your new bag with our designer mini flip notebooks to keep track of all your important notes and quotes.

And, after so many days of summer R&R, you'll need to get those creative juices flowing. Our designer origami kits will enable you to create your own fashion line, or make a room full of paper furniture. Your imagination is the limit, so get folding.

Oh, and if B2S, for you, means something a little more mature- our "adult" paint by number set is the answer for sure!

Gardening that doesn't "Succulent!"


It's a win-win anytime you can find a creative way to reuse combined with bringing a little "life" inside your home or office. Our suggestion, upcycle an old container and fill it with a succulent plant. Succulents require little maintenance, so they're incredibly easy to take care of. They add a bit of charm to any space making great house plants (and gifts)!

The first step (and probably the most enjoyable) is to choose a container. Rather than a conventional pot, upcylce an old mug, vintage creamer, jar, or can to use as your planter. The options really are endless! If you like the look, but don't have any of these items handy- hit up a yard sale, or pick a charming tabletop piece from your favorite retailer. Either way, a non-traditional container will give the plant a unique and attractive home that looks good in the center of a table, on a desk, or a patio.

The next step is to get dirty. As we mentioned, caring for succulents couldn't be easier, so to plant them, no green thumb is required. Once you have selected your container(s), fill them with potting soil and place a succulent on top. When using succulent (echeveria) cuttings, they root easily, so it shouldn't take more than three weeks.

Finally, show your new plants a little TLC. You don't have to water succulents frequently (usually about one or two times per month). Be careful not to over water the plants since the water can't escape from the container. Succulents can live in these beautiful containers for a long while, just be certain to give them plenty of access to bright sunlight!

One Leg Up!


Many bird species stand on one leg to keep the foot warm and conserve body heat. The most famous of these, the flamingo, also has an amazing pink color which actually comes from the carotenoid pigments in their favorite food, shrimp! This very old species of bird has evolved over 30 million years, and in spite of its "antique" status, serves as a major inspiration in contemporary design today!

PHAG's on-line store is filled with kitschy goodness, inspired by the creature well known for having, "one leg up." Check out our classic flamingo yard stake, or for an illuminated twist, our flamingo accent lamps. Still thirsty for more? Why not check out the floating flamingo? Speaking of thirsty, did you know that flamingos can drink hot water from geysers at temperatures very close to boiling? Keep in mind, this is not a recommendation for your next flamingo bath!

Get Your Flame On!


Let's face it, at PHAG we're flamin' experts!

Sophisticated Sea Style


Ever rent a home or condo at the beach (or down the shore as Philadelphians would say) and wonder, "what dollar store did the owners rob to get all this stuff?" I know, personally, it's the horrific bedspreads I'm most amazed by, but, either way; it's a seemingly endless trail of beach-themed tchotchkes that forever tarnish the idea of summer or shore-themed home decor!

Well, it doesn't have to be that way, and at PHAG, we celebrate sophisticated sea style with an amazing assortment of home decor items that are perfect for your beach house, or to give as a hostess gift at your next summer party!

Looking for some creative storage for your favorite summer vino? Check out our Metal Fish Wine Holder. The five-bottle holder holds your attention as a sculptural decor object just as well as it holds your wine! No tarnished idea here, as the holder is crafted of tarnish-free alloy.

Keep those summer breezes blowing with one of our sculpted sea life fans, like the Sea Turtle Fan, constructed of metal with a distressed, shell-like finish.

Having some guests over and need a place to chill the booze? Why send them in-and-out to the fridge, just ice them down in our Beer Boat Beverage Tub, and your party guests can be as chill as your beverages. Or, if you're a DIYer, you can even drill a couple of drainage holes into the tin liner of the boat and instantly create an inspired planter for your deck or patio!

Here Come the Brides!


As the saying goes. . .May showers bring June brides. In celebration of "Wedding Season," PHAG is pleased to announce our partnership with Registry 10- The BUY LOCAL gift registry!

How can independently owned businesses survive as they are squeezed tighter and tighter by chain stores and overseas competition? With a little commitment from you, that's it! Approximately 50,000 couples in the Philadelphia area marry each year. By asking guests to buy local, couples funnel money into the local economy and get cool gifts not found on traditional registries.

Registry 10 is a unique partnership with local businesses challenging each couple planning a wedding to add 10 LOCAL gifts to their registry. The average couple receives $10,000 in wedding gifts at an average cost of $100. So this 10-gift challenge could result in a local economic boost of $1,000 per wedding!

Do your part to make a difference today, so your favorite local business will still be around tomorrow. Oh, and while you're at it, be sure and push for equal rights to marry wherever you are!

Make Your Office POP!


Let’s face it. Spending time in an office for 40+ hours a week can become a tedious task for the senses, especially if you’re stuck in a sterile, lifeless space without an ounce of creative constructs in sight. To make your office pop – and consequently, more bearable – inject some colorful cool into it, with some help from shopPHAG.com of course!

Look At You With The Corner Office!
When you greet your guests and clients in style, it definitely leaves a lasting impression. If you’ve got the room to dazzle them, take advantage in a way that makes your day more aesthetically appealing as well. The Hourglass Accent Chair and Chrome Box Chair are far more pleasing to the eyes than a mass-marketed chair with tired style. If you’re wondering if your existing furniture fits into the ‘tired style’ category, think back to where it came from. If it was part of an order that included pens and legal pads, chances are it’s tired. Don’t buy your furniture where you buy your office supplies – a simple rule that yields stylish rewards!

You’ve Got A Slice Of Space
OK, the square footage leaves a bit to be desired, but you’ve got some room for improvement. Our space-saving Library Desk is a desk and bookcase all in one. An affordable price gets you a piece of office furniture that's uber functional and high on style. Stock the shelves with some cool decorative accents , and let everyone who enters your domain see how you’ve made the modern, marvelous most of the space you were given. See how smart you are?

I Have A Cube…And The Walls Are Closing In!
Fret not, cubicle friend – we have great things in store for you as well! Having a small space in no way means your space must be bland. Think of apartments in big cities, where every inch counts and is dearly paid for. Creative people don’t give up, bemoaning their diminutive dimensions. They make the most of it, and so can you! Entertain your cubicle visitors with our Dead Fred pen holder. It's only available in red, 'cause Fred's dead, but it coordinates nicely with our cassette tape dispenser. Ahh. . . memories of the 80’s- that's music to our ears!

Check out our entire selection of fun things for the home and office to personalize every space in your life at thePHAGshop.com.

STOP! Cherry Time


We know that everybody uses plates, but the same old plates aren't for everybody, so once again, enter PHAG. In 2009, we introduced our customers to the first of its kind, an inked dish collection featuring the exclusive irezumi artwork of famed Sunset Strip tattoo artist, Paul Timman. Sure, he's inked art for Drew Barrymore, Tommy Lee, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg, and Angelina Jolie, to name a few, and now he's inked dishes, just for you!

Today we celebrate the arrival of Cherry Blossom season, and more importantly, the cloud of pink it presents for all to enjoy! If you haven't heard, you can bring the beauty of those blossoms from the outdoors- right to your table, with the Cherry Ink collection of dishware, from Paul Timman's collection, available at PHAG's on-line store. The Cherry Ink collection uses the sumi style of Japanese Tattooing, a delicate painterly style where soft edges replace black outlines. Each piece of porcelain in the collection is tattooed using an in-glaze process that is both microwave and dishwasher safe.

In all, you can now choose from four collections of tattooed dinnerware, including the latest addition to the line, Tattoo Lotus. Serving pieces are also available in both the Irezumi and Cherry Blossom Designs. Come on, isn't it time you proudly presented your cherry for all to enjoy? That's the latest dish.

Win in Your Kitschen!


Having been part of the pop-culture landscape for over 30 years now, Pac-Man is a pretty familiar character, in fact, he's an icon. But, even the most well known icons have their secrets!

Just this week, Toru Iwatani, creator of the game, revealed that while you play the game, it might seem as if the four ghosts are actively chasing you, but that's not exactly true. Instead, it's only Blinky, the red ghost, who doggedly pursues you throughout the game. Pinky, the pink ghost and PHAG's favorite (naturally), simply wants to position itself at a point that's 32 pixels in front of Pac-Man's mouth. The blue ghost, Inky, is seeking to position itself at a similar fixed spot, and Clyde, the orange ghost, moves completely at random. Who knew?

What we know is that our awesome Pac-Man pot holder is a definite score! When paired with our "cutting" edge Pac-Man cookie cutters, you'll be the winner in your kitschen- you retrosexual!

7 Tips to Make Your Bedroom Even Better!


1. Invest in some really great textile accents for the bed, like these bold accent pillows that are perfect for Sping! If you don't splurge on high-quality sheets, soft comforters, and sleek duvets, you can at least make it look like you do. When you do splurge, you can avoid having to redo your entire bedding ensemble in just a few short months. Spend the extra money and get the right fit, the right make, and the perfect style. High thread counts = happy sleepers! If you need an extra something to commit to the splurge, think of how amazing those ultra-soft sheets will feel on your skin. Also remember that many people say a softer pillowcase in particular can help stave off wrinkles! Something with some slip allows your face to relax and move instead of getting hung up on a rough polyester corner.

2. Make your headboard dynamic. Choose sumptuous Headboard Upholstery to lend drama and dimension to your bedroom. When the delightful is this affordable, it’s a sin not to invest in a textural change.

3. Be sure that your bedroom has at least one statement piece, like this Luggage Chest or Vintage Steel Nightstand. Such a small change can add so much interest and intrigue. Each of these terrific treasures combines fun and function flawlessly.

4. Give your walls a fresh coat of paint every few years (or months!) to ensure that your look always stays fresh. It’s simple, cheap, and brings the biggest, boldest impact of all. Even if you have white walls and freshen them with a brighter white, everything looks a little different and new!

5. Set the mood with your lighting. If you like it bright, be certain to keep window treatments airy. If you prefer something a bit more ambient, use lighting with dimmers or a sculpted piece, like our porcelain Gnome Accent Lamp.

6. Liven up the room with fresh flowers and plants. Adding living things to your space not only adds interesting smells and textures that can’t be duplicated with man-made things, but can also actually freshen your space. Many plants are treasured for their ability to clean the air, while others help keep bugs under control in the warmer months. And of course there is that lovely thing called Oxygen we all just can’t live without. Try our Bonsai Box tree for year-round enjoyment in any space!

7. Freshen your fabrics by hanging them on the line to warm in the sunshine. If you don’t have a clothesline, try making a homemade refresher using vodka or water mixed with a teaspoon of your favorite essential oil. Combine and mix in a spray bottle. Spray linens as needed, shaking lightly before each use. It’s simple…it’s cheap…and it smells nice. Who's going to argue with that?

Where's My Pop of Color?


For those of us that are seemingly addicted to every color imaginable (ahem), it can be difficult to design a space that doesn’t look like a box of crayons exploded.

With the spirit of adding accessories to your life that make sense for your life, the artfully-designed pieces we carry are always more than mere art. Trust that if you find something you can’t live without at shopphag.com (which we know you will!), it will also be a piece that delivers on its promise for usefulness. After all, how much joy is a two-legged table or armchair that doesn’t accommodate the human form really going to bring to your life? We want you to sit on that chair, that gorgeous, shimmering Accent Chair that begs to be adored, just like you!
