Halo Teapot
I love the giant, St. Louis arch handle on this teapot. I also love how the spout actually hooks downward, unlike most modern teapots with the straight-ahead spout. Those are mostly good for people who like a lap full of tea.

Hide-Away Guest Bed Frame Full
You have neither a guest room nor a lot of excess storage space, but the folks are coming to town. Pop your air mattress into this expandable bed frame that folds up into a cylinder when it’s not being used. Nylon webbing supports the bed, and the frame has a little ledge that keeps the mattress from sliding around.
