A prettier power strip

When you're a parent, taming the cords that pile up around the house isn't just a matter of aesthetics, it's a matter of safety. Now there's a new power strip that takes both into consideration. The new Power Pod is a beautiful outlet solution. And yes, I just used the phrase "beautiful outlet solution." This surge protector reinvents the classic power strip with an efficient circular design. That means you can fit six whole three-pronged plugs in there, even the wide ones that often creep over adjacent outlets (which drives me crazy). To top it off, it comes with a little accessories container that you can use to cover up the outlet part when it's not in use, or just keep to the side for storing desk supplies. The one problem: It ain't cheap. But it sure is swell. -Liz Find the Power Pod power supply online at Coalesse [via psfk]
