I've seen a few of these before, and this one also looks pretty good. If you're a wine drinker, something like this is great to have if you want to save an open bottle of wine for later in the week. Here's the details from the site:
The SoWine Bar from EuroCave can keep fresh two bottles of opened wine for up to 7 days at the perfect serving temperature. The SoWine has two separate compartments that can be independently selected, with factory settings for both white and red wines. Since the compartments are independent of each other, you can have either two bottles of red, two white or one of each preserved and ready to go. The push down pump on top of the SoWine seals you're open bottle, ensuring the perfect vacuum to prevent oxidation of the wine.
You can read more about it over at the EuroCave site HERE.

I'm not even sure my family has a crest, but if I were going to buy one, this would probably be it. Though coughing up the $500 for it might be a little much for something to hang in the den. Here's the details:
From the forge of the Iron smith to the hand of the artist you’re accurately researched and hand painted Shield is created. Old-World craftsmanship ensures attention to detail, modern technology and materials ensure perfection and longevity of your individually crafted piece. Our metal shields are battle ready in size and are historically accurate and handcrafted from 18-gauge, cold-rolled steel and then powder coated to help prevent rust.

The company Wittus has created a series of ventless fireplace that can be installed pretty much anywhere, as long as it has access to a gas line. The other bonus is that it requires no electricity, so it will stay lit even during a power outage.
There are four different ventless models, ranging from 34 to 42-inches wide, and not more than 7-inches deep, so they're a little deeper but roughly the same size as a flat panel TV. Since they're ventless, they require no flue or external wall. Though the flames aren't huge, they do give off an average of about 6,500 BTUs an hour, but they're more fo the great look.
The Radium model is shown here, but you can hit the Wittus site HERE to see the other ventless models. They don't sell the firsplaces directly from the site, so you'll have to contact them to find a dealer near you. From what I could find, the suggested retal price for these are in the $3,400 range.

Aqua Forest Aquarium is a unique retail aquarium store located in the San Francisco Bay Area. While a lot of aquariums can be nice to look at, AFA goes the extra mile and works to transform it into a three dimensional living piece of art. They do this by creating "planted" aquariums that is an ecosystem within the tank, and using high quality materials and systems.
Not sure about the price of one of these, but I'm sure it all depends on what you want in it. It's well worth to go take a look at their gallery HERE, and see some of the creations they've made. You can also hit the main website HERE (it has some music tha tyou can turn off, but you might want to turn down your speakers if your at work).

The Eclipse Art Lift from Media Décor will conceal your flat panel TV behind a painting, and automatically slide up to reveal the TV at the touch of a button. The Art Lift uses a Lutron Electronic Drive Unit to deliver a smooth and silent cover lift with a noise level of 44 dBA with .0625-inch precision. You can have the art slide up, down, left or right, and there's also a dual system that will synchronize two panels to move in two different directions. Also, if art really isn't your thing, you can use a mirror, or they also have a model that will scroll the artwork up from the bottom if you don't have the room for the panels to slide around.
You can hit the Media Décor site HERE to learn more about their products. The lifts currently range in price from $5,450 and $5,750.
