Cubisto 3D Frames

What it is: A modular framing system that allows you to suspend 3-D objects like a baseball or action figure between two sheets of elastic film, creating the illusion the object is floating for a stunning visual display.

Why we love it: These flexible frames give prominence to collectibles and ordinary objects and turns them into mini works of art. The frames stack together like Legos and can be combined in any design that you like. Simply sandwich your cherished item between the two sheets of ultra-stretchy transparent material within each Cubisto block. The film is very durable and can hold a wide variety of objects: a baseball from a memorable game, baby shoes, seashells from beach trips, or any of the small objects that become landmarks in our lives. Available in two sizes, medium and large and in four colors: red, yellow, blue, and black.

Who we'd give it to: Collectors of all sorts of treasures, from Sci-Fi action figures to vintage and retro. The clean lines and modular design would also appeal to modern design buffs.

Where to get it: From Uncommongoods for an ultra-stretchy $10.00 or $15.00 (medium or large frame).
