It's hard to resist this eager shower helper! If you don't have a lot of tub space and want an alternative to suction-cup or wire shelving, just hang the shower octopus in your shower and load him up with shampoo, shower gel and conditioner. Buying info after the jump..
This at-your-service octopus would make us smile every morning we went into the shower. Its available for $45 CAD at one of our new favorite online shops upyourtoronto.com.

this is great for maybe $20 but $45 CAD?

I like this idea. Great DIY possibilities. Any ideas for the materials?

@quiltmaster: Looks like surgical tubing for the tentacles and you could probably halve a racquet ball or something for the body. Seems pretty straight forward.

yeah... waaaay too expensive for what it is. i bet most of us with an actual wire shelving system in our bathroom didn't drop that much.

This looks too messy for me...plus it costs $45?? That's a joke right??

It's $45 for "you didn't think of this first." The prototype was possibly akin to surgical tubing and decidedly became an octopus.
I will stay out of the price-point debate. I don't like this for me, but this idea (whether bought or hacked) is probably useful for some people.

It does the job while looking awful at the same time? Do we have a winner her? NO!

I can just imagine those tentacles getting caught on things when getting into the tub/reaching for the shower head(I am such a klutz) or stretched out and dropping all the bath stuff into the tub.
It's kinda funky though. Definitely not $45 worth.

How do these ever get passed the 'design' stage?

I love it! I want one! I did just buy some hideous wire shelving last weekend - it was cheaper, but in no way attractive or interesting -wish I'd seen this first!

This is fugly. After a few showers and drippy bottles, it would be covered in soap scum. Yuck! And the price is even more of a turn-off than the product itself.

$45 to hang a mess in your bathroom? this is good design?

Cute idea, but messy in application. Also way too pricey.
