Most hotel shops are filled with overpriced touristy tschotkes, but W hotels are not like most hotels and neither are its stores.

Filled not only with their signature bedding, towels and robes, but also with hip design-focused goods that cater to the clientele they attract, we love that we can shop their well-edited picks without going on vacay by simply clicking over to their website.

What did we find? Jonathan Adler vases, Mimobot flash drives, Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chairs, Rachel Leigh earrings, CC Skye cuffs, Comme des Garcon wallets and more.

Plus, there are two big deals happening right now.

The Brits have done it again. Say hello to Voco, the clock that will make you wonder how you ever lived without him. Instead of an annoying beeping welcoming you to the day, the polite, British voice of Stephen Fry (think Jeeves) greets you, his master, with messages like:

"Good morning, sir. I'm so sorry to disturb you but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient I agree, sir. I believe it is the rotation of the earth which is to blame, sir."

Hit the button to turn your personal butler off, and you'll receive a fortifying message for the day. And, when it's time for bed, you'll receive a humorous, but oddly effective, 90-second relaxation exercise that will ease you, Master, into slumber.

An excellent gift for Father's Day, you can give the gift of admiration in the morning in true Brit-wit style and listen to and download many of the hilarious messages, right here at Voco.

P.S. 'Good Morning Madam' version arrives in July. We can't wait to be awoken to:

"Good morning, Madam. The current issue of Vogue has devoted its editorial to your sense of style, purpose, beauty and personal grandeur. It may be advisable to use the rear entrance today, Madam, to avoid the crowds."

Dad gave you the moon and stars, so it's only right you return the favor by giving him the sun. In a jar.

Father's Day is right around the corner and we can think of no cooler (natch, warmer) gift than giving Pops a Sun Jar.

Made of frosted glass, the Sun Jar comes equipped with a solar-powered cell and rechargeable battery. Its energy efficient LED light will automatically switch on when it gets dark to give Dad five hours of candle-like light (awesome for summer nights on the porch), but also includes a switch to turn it off if he's not home to enjoy the glow. In a nutshell, it charges during the day and lights up at night.

He'll get a MacGyver-like kick out of it and you'll revel in knowing that, once again, you light up his life (fuggetabout those teen years).

Give him the sun, and check out all of the other hipster gifts and accessories, right here at Elsewares.

P.S. The Sun Jar makes a memorable summer hostess gift too!

Honestly, at the pace we all move these days, is it any wonder we can't remember the last time we watered the plants (circa 1999, perhaps?), opened that bottle of wine, changed the sheets, wore those jeans or popped those pills? The list goes on.

Thankfully, someone had the foresight to create the smartest clock/timer ever, the DaysAgo digital day counter. The clever tiny timer attaches to food containers and other things that need smart tracking -- think anything from those baby bottles or that pizza box in the fridge to your kitty's litter box to your eye shadow and tennies (to remind you of the last time you actually exercised).

To see all the clever uses, along with some handy and eye-opening freshness dates, and to buy your sanity, visit How Many Days Ago pronto.

P.S. This makes a super Father's Day gift! Think filter changes, oil changes, gardening, vitamins and meds, contact lens solution...

Are you a teen queen superstar, royalty or perhaps just a royal pain? Tired of the stalkerazzi recording your every move? We feel your pain (in our fantasyland that is). Pop on a pair of these fangasmic censor bar glasses and nab your BFF La Lohan a pair too.

If you want to express thanks, good luck, love or happy birthday in the coolest way possible, have we got the thing for you. Message beans have your choice of sentiment lasered into one side and a complementary image lasered into the other (hearts, clovers, etc.).

All you have to do to see the "message" is grow the bean – and that's something even the black thumbs around here can do. Simply pull off the foil top and bottom (to let the water drain), add about a half-cup of water to the soil and in about a week the bean will poke through the soil revealing your special message – like magic.

Surprise someone you love – even if that someone is you (we heart you too) – right here at The Spoon Sisters.

We've been big fans of The Budget Fashionista blog for some time – gathering tips on how to score the best deals and sales at brick and mortar shops and finding out how to safely wash our all too few cashmere sweaters.

Partying with Hollywood's A-list is a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. And that somebody is E!-lister Lara Morgenson, a.k.a eonline.com's Hollywood Party Girl columnist. She parties with the crème de la crème of the Hollywood who's-hot (think Paris, Lindsay and Leonardo just to name-drop a few) and then dishes all the dirt and details (like what the celebs are doing and wearing) in her juicy weekly column Hollywood Party Girl which you can read here. She also just started podcasting – from the parties themselves – which is a huge treat for those of us who are celeb-obsessed – it's almost like you're there watching Lindsay's antics yourself! You can subscribe to the Hollywood Party Girl Podcast by clicking here. Then, simply click on the bubble on the right hand side (next to the party invite where it says "Get Her Totally Happenin' Podcast" which will take you to iTunes).

If you need a cool way to protect your laptop (and up its style ante) beyond Schtickers and Skyns, and don't want something basic that everybody else has, then these Sukie covers are for you. Sukie UK, famous for those adorable travel journals, have graced the world of laptop sleeves with their hip and cool illustrations, turning something as techie as your laptop into a piece of art (in our very correct opinion anyway). We're partial to the Motel sleeve, but would be happy dressing our laptops in any of these designs at GYMS Pacific ($40+).

Looking for a fab read or haute listen (for those audiobook or roadtrip-bound hauties out there)? If you're a Candace Bushnell/Sex and the City-aholic, we're pretty sure you'll enjoy Bushnell's latest novel, Lipstick Jungle. We know we're getting a kick out of it. After all, who doesn’t want to read about three powerful Manhattan women at the tops of their fields (publishing, fashion and entertainment) – so what if it's fiction! If you need a chick-lit fix, get it for $14.97 at Barnes and Noble's website. Plus, spend $25 or more and get free 2-3 day shipping, or same-day delivery if you're lucky enough to live in Manhattan.

Ever feel like your TV "passion" is affecting your social life? Why meet up with friends or go on that hot date on a Thursday night (um, hello The OC) when you could reschedule for a rollickin' Tuesday mid-morning instead? Right. Catch up with the times and let technology be your BFF by finally treating yourself to TiVo. Record what you want, skip over all the commercials, free yourself from the time constraints of regularly scheduled programming. Best part? You can now score TiVo for free.

Here's a cold hard fact: You're too good for vacuuming. Why waste your precious time and energy wielding a clunky old vacuum around when you can press a button and have it done for you? That's right, a button is all it takes and zoom, bang, voila, Roomba has your floors and carpets spic 'n span in a snap. How do we know? BussBuss is the proud owner of her very own Roomba, a clever little robot vacuum that takes the "u" out of "vacuum." She loves it so much, it's become a part of the family and now goes by the name Jeeves. Score your own private butler, er Roomba Discovery SE Robotic Floor Vac, for $299.95 at hammacher.com.

Hip Tip: You can buy Roomba at a slew of places these days, including Target and the manufacturer's site irobot.com, but doing so only entitles you to a one-year warranty. Everything sold at Hammacher Schlemmer receives a lifetime warranty, and when you're dealing with computers and electronics, we think that's priceless. Also, there are a few different versions of Roomba, but the Discovery SE is the newest and best -- read up on the differences here. Happy cleaning!

What else would you like BussBuss to deliver? Let us know here and whoever gives us the best tips and ideas will win a BussBuss DiscoPop bag!

Living in the city can cause a serious love-hate relationship. For instance, here in New York, BussBuss loves that she can do anything and go anywhere at any time, but BussBuss hates that everyone else can do the same because it's always super busy and crowded. BussBuss also lurves her loft, but BussBuss loathes that she can't have a pet. Well, problem solved. These adorable, one-of-a-kind kitties scream, "Adopt Me!" And since they don't actually eat or breathe, you don’t have to feed them and you most definitely don't need a litter box. Unless you want one that is. And wouldn't you know it's very posh to adopt from Australia these days (where these darlings are born)? Fees range from $15-$40 and commissions are accepted at janicemarie.id.au.

The holidays are coming up, which means more than your fair share of shindigs and way more than your fair share of family time. When conversation hits a sour -- or quiet -- note, or Aunt Margie feels the need to tell you, yet again, all about how brilliant cousin Carl is because he no longer wets himself, save the day by busting out Table Topics Conversation Cards. A stylish and mod table centerpiece, the 4"-sqaure acrylic box contains 138 great questions that help get the dialogue flowing, such as "What's more important, intelligence or common sense" and "What personal trait has gotten you in the most trouble?" A great holiday and hostess gift, you can save the day for just $23.99 at target.com. Speaking of great conversational lubricants, have you voted today? Tell us all about it, and what you wore to the polls (that's sarcasm, but whatevs), on our new and beloved Message Boards!

Before it gets too cold, or before you head off on your winter getaway to a warmer climate, get in your last rounds of golf in style, cuz golf just ain't for grandpa anymore! What's a swinging fashionista to sport? A candy-striped golf bag for starters. Scoop one up at kerigolf.com. Looking for more great golf goodies? Check out Kelly's Klicks!

Everyone deserves some hardcore procrastination every now and again, or like yours truly, every five minutes. Might as well do some soul searching while you're at it. At findyourspot.com, you can take a quiz, which will reveal 24 cities in the United States that most fit what you're looking for. Sure, it's far from accurate, but you know you'll still take it -- and talk about the results with your friends -- anyway. To procrastination!

Which means you need to submerge yourself in sparkling cool waters. Afterwards, wrap yourself in style with a fun beach towel. Harder to find non-hokey ones than you might think. We dig this candy stripe one by Ralph Lauren -- it's like making yourself a giant lollypop, yum! Get sweet and snuggly for $14.99 at macys.com.

Remember the drama of HBO's Project Greenlight series and how they made The Battle of Shaker Heights out to be some wretched disaster? And then the audience ratings were really low, too, making you want to see it even less? If not, just pretend and say "yes." Well I've just seen the movie -- finally -- and thought it was adorable and really well done. Not awful, not spectacular, just sweet and heart-warming like a movie should be, damnit. Lil Shia LeBeouf is quirky and irresistible, as was the whole tone of this coming-of-age flick. Rent it for a few bucks at the video store (do people under the age of 15 call it the DVD store by the way??), or cough up the $26.99 to buy the DVD on amazon.com -- or even better, snag a used copy for $9.99. Roll credits.

Ever wonder why people totally freak out when they turn 30? Surprise, surprise, it has more to do with big bad Saturn (yes, the planet) than with wrinkles and Botox. Seems that Saturn conveniently returns back to the place it was the moment we were first born every 29.5 years, forcing us to deal with all the many issues we'd rather just sweep under the shag carpet. Thanks, Saturn. But there is hope. The astrologers for Teen Vogue, Stefanie Iris Weiss and Sherene Schostak, have written the book on the famous phenomenon, Surviving Saturn's Return: Overcoming the Most Tumultuous Time of Your Life. In a straightforward, conversational tone, Stefanie and Sherene tell us all about this first milestone into adulthood and how we can cope with all the ugly issues so that they don't keep plaguing us for the next 30 years. Did Saturn miss the memo that 40 is the new 30? Anyway, scoop up this fun and telling read at amazon.com for just $10.47, and visit the authors' website, saturnreturn.net, for much more info on the Saturn Return.

Happy birthday to…who? Yeah, it's not so easy remembering every single one of your friend's and loved one's birthdays, is it smarty pants?

Snag it for $98 at victoriassecret.com.

It's a problem that's prevented many a fashionista from hitting the links: boring golf accessories. Specifically what your darling clubs will be wearing on the course. No one wants those obnoxious Tweety Bird golf head covers (no offense, Tweety), nor do they want the plain, humdrum ones offered as an alternative. Lucky for us, golfers and best buds Amye Kurson (Ame) and Suzanne K. Smetana (Lulu), were having the same problem. Even luckier, they decided to do something about it. Featuring a fun selection of preppy and sophisticated accessories, their line includes great golf head covers, likes these lime plaid and pink doozies, matching shoe bags, tee bags, barrel bags and even cute t-shirts, too. They're so cute, in fact, that we decided to feature them in our Valentine's Day Gift Guide. You can buy these beauties for yourself ($100/set of 4) at ameandlulu.com. Fore!

Just because Newlyweds is over for the year, doesn't mean you should give up on TV altogether. Program your Tivos, Busstas, because new shows, they are a comin’. Here are a few highlights this week:

SUN:

Punk'd: The new season started last night and airs Sundays at 9 PM ET/PT on MTV. Whether you need an Ashton fix, or just revel in watching celebrities get made fun of (and who doesn’t really?), you’ll get your needs satisfied here.

MON:

Born Rich: America Undercover: Airs tonight, October 27, at 10pm on HBO. A documentary by the heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, interviews with some of the country’s wealthiest heirs like S.I. Newhouse IV, Ivanka Trump, Georgina Bloomberg and more should make for good tele watching.

TUES:

Rich Girls: Premieres tomorrow, Tuesday, October 28, on MTV at 10:30pm ET/PT. Starring real-life rich girls Ally Hilfiger and Jaime Gleicher, follow the teens around as they shop til they drop and more on this new MTV reality series.

WED:

That '70s Show: Returns this Wednesday night, October 29, at 8 ET/PT on FOX. See what the gang's up to post-graduation. Will Demi guest star? Who knows, but I'll watch to find out.

THE OC: Everyone’s favorite soap-y indulgence returns this Wednesday at 9/8 central on FOX.

NEXT MON:

Average Joe: Premieres next Monday, November 3, on NBC at 10/9PM and is perhaps one of the most anticipated reality shows of the year -- so far, anyway. Starring a beauty queen/ former NFL cheerleader, she moves into a Palm Springs mansion with the expectation that 16 potential Prince Charmings are arriving to win her heart. The fun arises when the men turn out to be true Average Joes, with the beer guts and geeky personalities to prove it.

You know those annoying people in the office who send out those 'Word of the Day' emails? Tell them to get off yo grill nizzle. That shizzle is whack, yo! If you wanted to learn some SAT words, you'd be watching Dawson's Creek reruns. Aight? If you have no idea what the above sentences mean, perhaps you should be browsing urbandictionary.com. It's money, pure money (that means "cool" you dumb biznitch)! My favorite word? "Slut: a woman with the morals of a man." To brush up on your street lingo, you cracker, head to the free and lux urbandictionary.com.

You're a TV whore and, quite frankly, you know it. But you're not ashamed. You've got your premium cable, your best friend, Tivo, and really, what else does a person need? New shows, perhaps? A few that sound worthy of checking out:

The Freshman Diaries -- Showtime's new reality series that follows the lives of freshmen students at the University of Texas at Austin. Sex, drugs, final exams -- what more could one ask for?

Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica -- MTV tracks the lives of pop-star newlyweds Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. Revel in Simpson's dumb-blond antics as she tries to figure out if 'Chicken of the Sea' is really chicken or fish.

Mix It Up -- Courtney Cox doesn't just play an obsessive-compulsive neat-decorating-freak on TV – she is one in real life. She'll put her hobby to the test as producer of Mix It Up, a new home decorating show on WE. If her taste in home decor is as eclectic as it is in men, this should be a treat.

Have you heard about that study that was done about what the dirtiest spot in the workplace is? They tested the kitchen, the toilet and the computer desk… Yeah, you'd probably guess the dirtiest spot was the toilet? Not so. It was the computer area!! Why? Because no one ever cleans it. I know, ick. But that's understandable. I mean, it's hard to get in between those pesky keys on the keyboard and how should you clean your monitor? Pledge? Windex? What? Well the swell folks at Fred Flare are offering this adorable cleaning duo – Mr. and Mrs. Computer Brush. He cleans the crevices of the keyboard and she dusts the monitor with her poofy hairdo. Cleanin' in style. I like that. Get your duo for $20 at fredflare.com.

If you're not watching the HBO series Project Greenlight, all I can say is that I feel really sorry for you. But maybe you don't have HBO and so there's nothing you can really do about it. In that case, I offer you this: the Web site! First, if you don't know what Project Greenlight is, it's the screenwriting contest created by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck where they choose the best screenplay and directors from thousands of applicants and the winners get $1 million, courtesy of Miramax, to make their film. The show on HBO is a documentary that gives you an inside look at the making of the movie. Okay, maybe you knew that, maybe you didn't. But if you can't watch the show, at least you can watch the videos that the winners and losers submitted -- for free! If you want to read the top screenplays you can do that here, along with watching the videos that each screenwriter had to submit talking about themselves. I highly recommend watching the directorial submissions and their videos about themselves, too. There's really a lot of talent out there and it's nice to be able to get an insider's look at the whole process of making a film through the Hollywood system. If you think you're ready for that jelly, maybe you should enter next year's contest?

It's 11:30 a.m. You're bored at work. You and your friend are emailing back and forth in an attempt not to count down the next 29 minutes and 32 seconds til you can go to lunch. You're starving. So's your friend. Wanna torture her more? Of course. Send a free Mail A Meal postcard with a picture of your fave food at mailameal.com. Because you lurve her like a fat kid lurves cake.

It can cost you a pretty penny to get all dolled up, but beautifying your computer screen is priceless. Literally. The design experts at Veer have come up with great, original backgrounds that you can download for free. I like Pop Drops, Charcoal Girl, Faceless and, by default, Kiss. Because BussBuss does mean "KissKiss" in German, after all. To download your lil piece of purdy, head to veer.com now.

Eating ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You're not alone. Angela Nissel, author of the hilarious book The Broke Diaries, shares her experiences and insights into utter brokedom -- all without being 'I feel so sorry for myself' about it. Once a moneyless college student contemplating getting a sugar daddy of her own, Nissel is living proof that things can and do change -- you won't be the broke fool you are now forever or you don't have to be anyway. She's now a published author and writer for the hit show 'Scrubs.' Fairytales do come true! If you're too broke to shell out the money to buy the true memoirs, you can snag a taste for free at thebrokediaries.com. Or just go read it for free at the bookstore. Cuz a girl's gotta eat, right?!

Don't you think it's time you branched out and made some new friends? Well, if not, wouldn't you like to see all of your friends' friends? You little voyeur you. If you haven't heard, there's a new site on the scene -- friendster.com. Here's how it works: You sign up or are invited by a friend to sign up. You then fill out a pretty basic profile of who you are…things like your favorite books, movies, what you do, etc. Then you upload some photos of yourself (if you want). After that, you send an email to all your friends asking them to sign up. From there, you can see all of your friends' friends who have signed up too. Through 10 friends, I am now connected to 6500 people in my "Personal Network." And the best part is that your friends can write personal testimonials about you and vice versa -- kind of giving you a stamp of approval. So if you're into meeting new people, networking or just wasting some time, friendster.com is the place to do it.

"Definition of a Hipster: One who possesses tastes, social attitudes and opinions deemed cool by the cool. (Note: it is no longer recommended that one use the term "cool"; a Hipster would instead say "deck.")" These very important words brought to you by the guys who literally wrote the book on cool, er...I mean deck. These are also the same guys who run the site freewilliamsburg.com -- as in Williamsburg, Brooklyn -- one of the deckest 'hoods around. To find out if you're deck (cool) or fin (uncool), visit hipsterhandbook.com where you can take a quiz to see if you're a hipster, study the glossary to brush up on your hipster lingo, and peruse a bunch of deck links. Or, for $9.95, just buy the book right now. You know you're dying to know.

I've never featured a movie as a DailyBuss before, but after seeing 'Down With Love' last night, I feel I must. Starring Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger, DWL parodies 1960's bedroom comedies and is simply fun and visually stimulating to watch. The outfits are tres adorable, as are the sets and all the neopolitan colors. Yummy! If you're in the mood for something light, funny and fun, I suggest you get 'Down With Love' this weekend.
