A handmade onesie with your little squidlette’s name embroidered right on it!

They grow up so fast . . . before you know it they’ll be swimming away from home to play with the cuttlefish and octopi.

14 bucks from cleo*dee’s etsy shop

Squid brain ties are suitable for black tie events. For white tie events, I believe an actual squid is required.

Silk-screened by hand and available in poly-blend or charmeuse silk, these ties are at once darkly beautiful, slightly sinister, witty and cunning. Just the thing for a Valentine with something up his sleeve.

30 to 40 bucks from The Cyberoptix TieLab

Too much practicality makes me jittery, that’s why I prefer my USB 2.0 Flash Memory Stick to be shaped like a squid.

A plush squid based on a child’s drawing and sewn by an artist. Who gets to play with it? I have an inkling . . .

Octopus Chandelier February 8, 2007

Cream

Artist Adam Wallacavage invented the octopus chandelier in a quest to make his dining room appear to be 20,000 leagues under the sea. As you can see, he succeeded. To view this is to be submerged in a place more beautiful, and slightly inkier than our terrestrial habitat.

Can I sell my car and have this instead? Please? I will walk on the shoulder of the road, cradling my magnificent beast. When I come to a truck stop, I will plug in my chandelier and eat french toast by the light of my private undersea world.

Eight thousand bucks from Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Octupus1

Encrusted in sapphires and diamonds this gold ring looks like
it just emerged from an under-sea treasure chest.

Subtle and magical, it seems fit for Boticelli’s Venus, as she rises from the ocean, wearing nothing but her tentacle ring . . .

2500 bucks from B Square Gallery
