fatboy

Fatboy, usually the purveyor of chic beanbag chairs, is bringing their casual modernity to gadget sleeves.

The Fatboy Undercover line includes soft, suede cases for laptops, cameras, and MP3 players constructed simply. I can imagine that that fabric makes for a nice, easy slide into another bag.

Though they can hold any brand, the sleeves say they're perfectly sized for the MacBook Air or 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro, depending on the style.

They're a little on the pricey side, with the cheapest thing (the iPod holder) at $19, and the most expensive (the largest laptop sleeve) at $99. Still, I'm a fan of the bright, happy colors and ultraplain profiles.

Perfect for people big and small, I knew Fatboy made sleek Doggy Boy beds, but recently spotted their Catbags! Made from nylon with PVC coating, these vibrant sacks are water and stain resistant just for felines. Yet another way to add a pop of color to your décor, the round, pillow-style beds have a bright white fishbone on the outside . . . maybe to let Fido know it's not for him! Would your kitties crave this design or would your pups take it over anyway?

Kids can't jump on the bed, but they can bounce on the original fatboy!

If you're looking for a multi-functional piece of kid fabulous furniture — check out this sophisticated alternative to the bean bag chair. It's eye candy and oh, so comfortable.

Lil ones can use it to lounge on or as a spare bed to use while hosting a sleep over. The 50x70 inch super-sized pillow made of coated nylon is water and stain resistant so it can be spot cleaned with lukewarm water and a damp cloth.

Filled with polystyrene beads and available in 15 colors from sand to silver and cobalt to camo, the cuddly makeshift couch costs $229.
