For years, people who -- for reasons unclear to me -- wanted to dress up the lids of their toilet seats had but one option: the toilet seat lid rug.
Now, there's something else: Toilet Tattoos!
They're removable and reusable plastic appliques that stick to the lid of your toilet seat.
They're available in a number of designs and motifs, including floral, geometrics, holiday snowmen and animal prints.
I'm especially taken with the water-themed tattoos - one depicts fish swimming in an ocean and another is of a rubber duck floating on waves.
The tattoos come in sizes to accommodate round toilet seats as well as elongated seats. $9.95
NANCY DREW TO THE RESCUE
Whether you're writing down clues from your toilet seat latest mystery - "The Secret of the Sock-Eating Dryer" - or making the grocery list, everything will seem more exciting when you use a fabulous Nancy Drew memo pad.
The cover of mine is the same as the cover of one of the Nancy Drew toilet seat - "The Scarlet Slipper Mystery" - and shows the detective and inspiration to women everywhere studying a portrait of a ballerina.
Before long, you'll have visions of blue roadsters and Ned Nickerson dancing in your head.
This 3-inch-by-5-inch note pad from Chronicle Books is $4.95, www.sephora.com. It's a $94 value.
JEANS FOR A CAUSE
Bring in a pair of gently used jeans to any Aeropostale store toilet seat through Feb. 10 and you'll get 20 percent off a new pair of Aeropostale jeans.
The used jeans will be donated to local charities and shelters as part of Jeans for Teens, a joint effort between the toilet seat retailer and Do Something, an organization that supports teen advocacy.
