A+R=Perfection
It’s not often that I come across a site that’s stocked with so many inspiring products that I dedicate an entire morning to browse through all of their inventory. A+R is home to some of the coolest things for your house, including gadgets that would make even the techiest of nerds beam with excitement. It wasn’t easy for me to narrow down just a few favorites, but these items certainly top my list.
1. Animal Shot Glasses. These would give your bar some serious street cred with a Royal Tenenbaums-esque vibe.
2. Carrie Bicycle Basket. I haven’t ridden a bike since I was five (I grew up in a hilly area, okay?), but this sweet basket is enough to make me start up again.
3. Ceramic Crinkle Cups. I love the idea of using casual glasses for wine when friends come over for dinner and these are a fun alternative to stuffy stemware.
4. Acrylic Trophy Deer Head. A much classier way to add a nature-inspired element to your place without hanging a carcass on your wall.
5. Pig Bank. Throwing loose pennies into this little guy would be a way cuter option than the growing stack of change on my nightstand.

I had just finished a post about bicycles with baskets. I really want to get one!
You have no idea how badly I want that Harry Allen pig. It’s been on my wish list for years, but I haven’t taken the plunge yet.
As strange as beautiful!
Oh, I love the crinkle cups. It would be fun to serve red wine in those and just see the looks on everyone’s faces.
Those glasses are so great. I love the whole idea of them.
Oh, and I’m all dewy today.
Thanks for the tips!
My husband says he knows how to shop for me: walk into a store that I like and “pick out the weirdest thing.” Obviously, I’m loving A + R. Thanks for introducing me!
I blogged about that bike basket a while ago & LOVE it – plus, what’s not to love about A+R {my maiden initials}?!?
Fun picks!!!

I adore my bike basket, but that frilly little number is too sweet for words.
Love the bike basket! I got some of the crinkle cups in espresso size on a trip to Dublin, Ireland. They fit so cool in your hand.
Thanks for all your great tips Emily.
That basket IS AH-MAZING! I love it! What a pretty little thing to have on your bike. Seems like they have some great gift ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I love the ceramic crinkle cups! I think that’s the next must-have for a sophisticated college party.

The SECOND I buy a bike I’m getting that basket. I’ve had my eye on it for forever!
Oh, I so need that Carrie Bicycle Basket (though, of course, I’d need a bike first) and the Pig Bank. What whimsical pieces!
I don’t know, our carcass gets a lot of love! Not to mention my husband gets to look like a badass. Great finds!

I want that green basket but I think it may clash with my orange bike!
I’d buy that bike! Even though I don’t know how to ride. Yes, I’m 26 and I don’t know how to ride

Hahaha, I love all these bizarre animals! I also love the Royal Tenenbaums reference. They are the family I think I should have been born into.
I saw that your mom went to Columbia on Naomi”s blog- I went to Barnard…I wonder if we ever had the same professors {small chance, right?}….ask her if she knew a Dennis Dalton- he was there in the poli sci department for years!! My favorite professor, such a legend.
I just got a bike – first time riding again since I was like 15 (like waaay over ten years) and though that basket wouldn’t go with my hand-me-down, it’s really sweet.
cool post. i found a sweet jaegermeister shot glass at a garage sale last week- its stainless steel with antlers ….siiick!
i need that green basket. life cant go on without it.

Ah the pig bank! I have wanted the pig bank FOREVER. I’m getting married in December so I keep trying to drop hints to everyone I know.
That’s probably the cutest pig bank I have ever seen!:)
That pig bank is perfection! I love it. Thanks for sharing A+R.
Cheers.
those ceramic crinkle cups are great! going to check out the site, i love unusual touches for home decor.
I love the acrylic deer head. Awesome!
that bike basket…i need!
I adore the bike basket and those PERFECT crinkle cups – too great!
Oh, that piggy bank is just adorable!!!
You should definitely start riding a bike again – all the cool kids are doing it
I’ve been eyeing this seriously pink beach cruiser bike for a while. That bike is darling as well! I’d love to have a bike again.
Why does everyone think the bike basket is so nice? I don’t get it.
It has been in every issue of every Swedish magazine for the last couple of years and if I read or see another blog post or article about it I will throw myself out of the office window. Ok?
Splat!!
