Who Knew Clouds Were So Expensive?

Cloud: Photo, Snowcrash Oh man. Monday, Monday, and the only way we can think of to cure our work-week blues is a tranquil moment inside our own cloud. You thought we were going to say Dunkies coffee, and normally we would have, but now that we know we can buy a cloud—for only $5,900, mind you—it's going to be hard to think about other things. Perhaps you'd like to donate to the Buy Chicagoist a Cloud Fund? Perhaps a beer is more in your price range? We are currently accepting either.

Unfortunately, the cloud ships from Finland and can take a while to get here. In the meantime, let's peruse the other wares the Chicago-based UrbanPeel is hocking. We could definitely use a few rechargeable lanterns, but without the cute little kids, they might not be as fun. Maybe we'd be better off with a fruit trampoline. And we're crossing our fingers that Santa Claus will bring us a $400 soccer ball. Or beers.
