Tonky (previously) has created a line of "Rydesafe" arty safety buttons made from an engineering-grade reflective film that he's Kickstarting. $5 gets you a button, $14 gets you a kit of four. I'm guessing they'll also dazzle flash-happy paparazzi!

Tonky sells huge, stylized vinyl wall-stickers featuring giant squids, cows, dino-skeletons, sea-horses, lamp-fish and pigs, in a variety of colors (as well as many other shapes).
