There are few cameras as iconic as a Polaroid. Snapping a photo and receiving the physical copy in moments is a special experience that is hard to replace. Now, photography lovers can recreate this vintage model through LEGO and fall in love with the camera all over again.

By putting together the bricks of this 516-piece set inspired by the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 model (originally released by Polaroid in 1972), users can make their own replica. The set includes many of the beloved details associated with the Polaroid Land camera, like the white front and rainbow stripe. The toy version even possesses functional features that make it feel like the real thing, including a viewfinder that users can peer into, and a movable exposure compensation dial.

The set also comes with the pieces necessary to construct a Polaroid film pack, where you can store three “photos” illustrated in the LEGO style. Among them is a LEGO-fied portrait of Polaroid co-founder and inventor of the Polaroid Land camera, Edwin H. Land. These photos can be loaded into the LEGO camera so that when you press the red button, they eject just as a real photo would, sparking joy for anyone who loves photography and LEGO.

You can pre-order this set for $79.99 via LEGO's online store, with orders shipping out January 1, 2024.

LEGO has released a new set that can be built into a Polaroid Land camera.

People Are Buying This Dr. Pepper Candle That Smells Just Like the Fan-Favorite Soft Drink

Ever since its creation in the 19th century, Dr. Pepper has been among the most popular sodas out there. While its fans have celebrated their love for the soft drink with a wide array of merch, from t-shirts to flavored lip balm, a creative company has found inspiration in another element of the drink—its smell. Vineyard Candle Company launched a soy wax candle that smells just like Dr. Pepper.

To make the experience even more vivid for Dr. Pepper fans, the candle is made in a recycled Dr. Pepper can. And just like the soda that inspired it, the candle comes in 7.5, 12, and 16-ounce sizes, with the largest offering up to 45 hours of burn time. “Vineyard Candle Co takes recycled and upcycled glass bottles and brings them back to life with candles and glass material,” writes the company. Additionally, they use all natural 100% soy wax and its products are all hand made.

Even though the Dr. Pepper scented candle is currently all the rage, the company has something for everyone who has a different favorite drink. Whether it's a classic Coke, a Mountain Dew, a Fanta, or even a PBR, you'll surely find your drink of choice here. And if you still long for the Dr. Pepper aesthetic, you can order a candle in the can but with a different scent, from Very Vanilla to Cognac and Cubans. In fact, you can mix match scents and containers.

Vineyard Candle Company's quirky inventory is also available via Etsy's vast marketplace. Should your love transcend that of a soy wax candle, you can also find sweatshirts, slippers, earrings, lights, tumblers, and more to celebrate your favorite drink on Etsy.

Biodegradable iPhone Covers You Can Plant in the Ground and Grow a Garden With When You’re Done With It

Phone cases are designed to provide protection for your device, but there's usually the added benefit of style. When you upgrade your phone, however, it usually demands a new cover to go along with it. This means that the old model will often end up in storage or in the trash. In an effort to put an end to this wasteful cycle, iGreen Gadgets has created a biodegradable iPhone cover that can be planted in the ground when you're done with it.

The design of the product is simple. While it seems like any other minimalistic cover on the exterior, it is made with a compostable material that is secretly embedded with seeds. Cornstarch is the main material used in the case, which functions not only as an armor for the phone but also as food for the seeds. So, when the time comes to dispose of the phone cover, simply remove it from the phone, and deposit it into a pot of soil or in the ground.

With time, the case will decompose in the earth and release the seeds. The company iGreen Gadgets even gives you the option of choosing which plants to grow, with daisy, forget-me-nots, and basil as the current available seed options. All covers are made in Italy, with sizes that suit Apple's iPhone 13 Pro, 14 Pro, and 15 Pro devices.

You can purchase one of iGreen Gadgets' phone covers via their online store. Prices begin at €17.99 (about $19.42).

Creative brand iGreen Gadgets has designed a biodegradable iPhone cover that can be reused when you're done with it.

Each cover contains seeds in the casing so you can plant it in the ground.

Simply remove the phone, put it in the dirt, and add sunlight and water to see it grow.

Usually, the goal of a LEGO set is to create one structure or design. However, a new release gives users the option to construct three different objects from the same pieces. The LEGO Creator Retro Camera comes with 261 bricks that can be recombined to create a vintage-style camera (with film), a camcorder, or even a TV.

Photography enthusiasts are sure to get a kick out of the realistic 35mm film SLR camera design. It includes a large movable lens, and can even be loaded with LEGO film, and accessorized with a rainbow LEGO-printed wrist strap. The provided LEGO film rolls already have special moments captured, like a safari bus, a giraffe, and butterflies.

When users are done enjoying the retro camera, they can then take apart the object and repurpose the pieces into a something new. The same bricks can help builders make a camcorder with an articulating screen or a charming vintage television that has antennas at the top.

This set will be available for purchase for $19.99 via LEGO's website starting January 1, 2024.

New 3-in-1 LEGO set can be constructed into one of three models.

How much do you know about disco? From Donna Summer to ABBA, there are numerous artists who have left their mark on music from this influential genre. UK-based studio Dorothy has mapped out the must-know names from disco history and arranged them on a beautiful blueprint poster.

The detailed screen print was nine months in the making, chronicling over 600 musicians, DJs, producers, clubs, and record labels onto the circuit diagram of a Klipschorn speaker. All of the names have been intentionally chosen from around the globe as “pivotal in the evolution of disco music.” This includes the origins of disco in Afro-American funk and Motown of the late 1960s all the way to its peak in popularity with discomania in the 1970s.

Some of the greats that music enthusiasts are sure to recognize include Giorgio Moroder, Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross, and Sylvester and the Bee Gees. There are also plenty of homages to Eurodisco, Italo disco, and regional scenes in Canada, Brazil, and beyond. Additionally, history buffs will find significant dates from pop culture, like the 1969 Stonewall Riots and the Saturday Night Fever in 1977.

You can purchase this print via Dorothy's store for £40 (about $50).

Even though an outdoor adventure is an opportunity for relaxation, some elements of it can feel like a chore. One of those is tending to a fire that keeps everyone warm, provides light, or used to do some cooking. To make everything rum more smoothly, Japanese company UM created a stylish 8-Panel Fire Pit that is easy to use and portable too.

Drawing from their decades of work on metal processing, UM designed a fire pit that allows users to adjust the intensity of the fire effortlessly—something that is not so easy when dealing with firewood directly. Its adjustable combustion system with optimized airflow help translate to minimal smoke and easy cleanup, collecting any ashes and embers that fall. And while a traditional fire requires a bit of knowhow, UM swears their fire pit is easy for anyone to use.

The heart of this camping gadget is its removable eight-panel system, which boosts air circulation and helps the wood to burn more effectively. “With holes strategically placed at the bottom of each panel, fresh air is channeled directly to the base, serving as the primary combustion source,” writes the company. “As this air heats up, it ascends within the double-walled cavity of the panels and gets expelled from the top holes, resulting in secondary combustion.”

Rather than becoming a permanent fixture, the small size and portability of UM's design allows you to take this fire pit anywhere. Since saving space is also vital to camping, the UM fire pit disassembles into its different parts that can be stored in a special carrying case that is about the size of a laptop bag.

Given that fires have many uses, the UM fire pit is also versatile to suit the needs of each camper. Whether you want to illuminate a gathering, get ready for a grilled dinner, or simply gaze at the flames, the fire pit can be assembled in one of many ways. For example, you can choose between setting up all eight panels for cooking, or simply set up half of them to keep your party warm. The balance between heat and visibility is up to you.

The UM fire pit is available now through Kickstarter, and its clever design has caught enough attention that it has been successfully backed. You can order yours now at a special price, with the first fire pits shipping in January 2024.

Working in the kitchen can be messy. Fortunately, OTOTO can help you be organized, without sacrificing style or personality. From keeping the counter clean to serving up delicious dishes, their collection of playful yet functional accessories adds a bit of spice to routine tasks.

The Magic Mushroom is a colorful funnel that is ideal for transferring liquid contents from one container to another. If you want to move oil and vinegar to the vessels of your choice without unnecessary spillage, this product can help with that. Simply place the long end of the mushroom into the opening of the container and flip the polkadot mushroom top inside out. The wide brim of the mushroom will ensure that there's no spillage in the process. Another product that helps organize your kitchen is the whimsical Crab n' Roll Paper Towel Holder. Featuring a bright red color and a pair of big cartoonish eyes, this crab-inspired tool will easily hold a fresh roll of paper towels upright. Not only will your kitchen counter be more organized for it, but you'll also be prepared to snag a square whenever a spill or mess appears.

OTOTO has also designed a dramatic corkscrew and bottle opener that is sure to spark dinner conversations. Modeled after a flying black bat, Vino can do it all. If you need to open a new bottle of wine, simply screw the metal end into the cork and use the wide batwings to pull it out of the bottle. Or, use the large-eared head to handily uncap your favorite beverage. Additionally, the Baby Nessie Tea Infuser has no problem diving to the depths of even your hottest brew to release its flavors. Made of silicone, simply separate the top of Baby Nessie from the bottom and place your loose-leaf tea into it. Then, submerge the infuser into a cup of hot water and wait for the leaves to brew.

Whether you pencil people in—or confidently scribble in ink—planning for the future is a way to reduce stress in the present. Work meetings, life goals, and connecting with loved ones can fill your schedule until travel, music, and parties return.

From minimalist daily planners to an artistic wall calendar to keep track of the important dates in your life, there's something for everyone. Some are filled with inspirational quotes to keep you motivated while others have illustrations by graphic artists that will give you creative inspiration every day. There are monthly calendars that will help you organize your days at a glance, and detailed hourly planners for those who want extra organization.

While any of these items makes a welcome treat for yourself to start next year off right, these creative calendars and planners also make for a perfect gift for friends, family, and coworkers. You can choose from calendars that have a hand-illustrated style to those that emphasize a generous amount of space for notes and to-do lists.
