Looking for a new HDTV this Christmas? What about a fireplace for your living room, but a modern kind to match your modern home? What if I told you there's a product out there that offers both these living room must-have elements? The Double Vision combo from Safretti packs a big-screen HDTV and a fireplace right underneath it. The Double Vision comes either in black or white and you can also choose between a 37-inch or a 46-inch HDTV. But remember to mention in your letter to Santa that your fireplace isn't exactly usable as a point of entry in your house. I'm sure he'll find an alternative way of delivering those precious gifts.

Ikea furniture is always fun to shop and to assemble but it might not always fit your needs. Take the Ikea Besta in the images below for example! Depending on what Besta version you choose, and there sure are plenty of them available from Ikea, and depending on how you choose to set it up once you get it, you might find yourself lacking the appropriate space to house a big-screen HDTV. Don't despair though as there is a way of fitting the TV in the Besta. It requires a little manual labor, but in the end it will all pay off as the HDTV will fit quite nicely with the Ikea Besta, not to mention that the DIY project will also give you a chance to customize your whole home theater setup and place it inside the Besta too, while hiding all unnecessary cables in the process. Don't believe me? Then just check out the images below to see how Jerome Samson did it! Via Ikeahacker

Looking at the pictures below, one wouldn't guess that they are looking at an audio speaker! The uber chic Ceramic Speaker is the brainchild of Tokyo studio Nendo who collaborated with a traditional Kanazawa-based Japanese potter. Nothing short of a piece of art this speaker is the anti-thesis of the traditional audio equipment. The Modernist/Futuristic footprint was possible thanks to the use of 1mm thick ceramic substrate which has a high heat resistance and works flawlessly with digital manufacturing techniques.

This is not a joke, the pillow in the image below is a real remote control. It has a bunch of huge buttons and it's supposed to work with most electronics that happen to be part of your current home theater setup. The remote can be activated whenever changing the channel is required and it is available for just $30 thus being a perfect gift idea this holiday season. The Remote Control Pillow will work with over 500 devices and requires two regular AAA batteries to perform appropriately. The most interesting feature is the auto shutoff. The remote is deactivated after 60 seconds on inactivity, so you'll be able to use it as a regular pillow as soon as you have decided to watch a certain program. Via Brookstone
