Custom House Numbers

5: impressive number of miles you hiked up Runyon yesterday
8: number emblazoned on Lakers jersey of flirty fellow hiker
1800: street address of Malibu Beach house soon to be shared by you and Laker boy

When the time comes, turn to Customhousenumbers.com, the house-proud site for those who take their numerals very seriously. The company makes architectural-quality, customizable address numbers from more than 35,000 fonts (Zapf Humanist and Aspirin are two of our favorites) and plenty of materials (hollow stainless steel, solid aluminum). Designed to give your abode that final touch, each original marker comes with user-friendly instructions and blind-fastening hardware (no visible screws!). Customhousenumbers.com will also send you a price quote and a dimension drawing of your design, so you can check that everything’s perfect before you commit.

We doubt you’ll get the same offer from Laker boy.
