Once in a while I run into a gizmo that’s not exactly to die for, but it’s so cheap that it’s difficult to pass by.
The Grip and Tip Holder isn’t a must for doing your nails, but it might make things a bit easier. It’s not the fact that you won’t need to hold the bottle anymore - that’s never a problem, since you just need to dip the tip in and you can set it down. But if you’re trying to reach the bottom trust me, tipping it and setting it straight over and over again can really get on your nerves, especially if you do your nails often.
So, at 8 dollars… you don’t need it, but it won’t hurt to have it. It also comes in other colors than pink, so men won’t feel embarassed if they use it for painting plane models or similar things.
If you have the kind of cat who would enjoy the Fling-Ama-String, you may want to see some other versions of the same idea - an automatic tool to wave a toy around.
The Panic Mouse Motorized Cat Toy is one of them, and if you watch the video below you can see how entertaining it can be. The motor moves the plastic mouse around in random motions, and the cat goes crazy chasing it around. (Then, hopefully, you get a tired cat who sleeps when you do; at the very least, you’ll get a feline that isn’t bored anymore.)
If you don’t believe me this is cool, watch the video:
Even night owls may have occasional problems with staying up late. And (amazing as it might sound to some) there are people who don’t like the taste of coffee.
The Engobi Caffeinated Snack Crisps are the best things since energy drinks. They have two of the best things ever: caffeine and cinnamon, and they’re also food (sort of). And in case you were wondering, they don’t taste bitter at all.
One bag has almost as much caffeine as two Red Bulls, so be careful how much you eat - you don’t want to be bouncing around at 3 a.m. with too much energy to do anything productive. And since you’ve got 24 bags in each case… that’s a lot of caffeine.
The coolness of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton both working on one movie is impossible to beat. But you can at least try to reach that level.
In order to be Edward… you need the hands. If you’re planning to impersonate Depp’s character, the Edward Scissorhands Gloves are the first thing you need. Yeah, they might not look as cool as the real thing, but it’s as good as it gets… Then it’s up to you to assemble the rest of the costume, the most difficult part is over. You might have a problem with acquiring Depp’s good looks, though.
The latest incarnation of the “guess the outline” game is the weGo t-shirt and it features cars. Lots of famous pop culture cars. 55 to be exact, from areas such as film, television, children’s books, video games and rock music.
So how many can you guess? These are kind of tough. There’s the Batmobile, and KITT…
The Wii wasn’t made to be used with a keyboard, but sometimes one would come in pretty useful… So someone thought about it real hard and made one.
And the Wii Keyboard doesn’t look half bad. It might be more difficult to use than a regular keyboard, so you won’t be writing papers or novels on it, but for gaming use it looks great.
It’s not available yet, but you can preorder it for the July 18th launch.
Countless times I’ve been in a car with a dead phone/mp3 player and no way to charge it. And countless times I’ve promised myself I’d get a car charger. But there was one problem: I don’t have car charger extensions for either…
Then again, at least my mp3 player has an USB connection, which is a big incentive for me getting a Multi-Use Car Charger with Dual USB Ports. Beside other obvious uses, this says “ability to listen to music in the car without worrying about charging issues”. With this and a 60GB iPod, the music for a long road trip is assured, which is a must for me.
Seeing as this website is dedicated to things under $30, most of the things we cover fall into certain categories: gadgets, accessories and the like. Weapons… never. Well, never before…
The Skull Mayhem looks scary… and sharp. I’m not sure if that’s such a good idea… I mean, display swords are quite cool (and my brother has a couple of very nice ones), but they are dull and not pointed. This, even if it isn’t sharpened, has a lot of pointy bits which I can see causing some serious wounds if not handled carefully.
However, I have to say that, in the hand(s) of someone responsible it would look appropriately scary, perfect for a photo shoot, a reenctment of the X-Men or a black metal cover. And it’s remarkably cheap compared to similar things I’ve seen.
I don’t have a cat of my own, but I’ve had my share of hyperactive friends’ cats… The kind that sleep all day and at night chase things around the house. Unfortunately, I never had the time to play with them very much, so they didn’t have anything to waste energy on during the day.
Enter the Fling-Ama-String and I’ve got my eyes on it for my potential future cat. The toy has a motor and an elastic loop that moves a piece of silky string around, and it can be attached to a door knob.
Basic instructions: attach; turn on; watch kitty entertain herself for hours. Much easier that sitting around moving a piece of string on the floor, and probably more exciting for your feline too.
For some a big birthday party is a must. No party, no real birthday. They would probably think the Pocket Birthday is some kind of bad joke.
I think it’s a wonderful idea if the timing is right.
Think about it. For some reason a friend can’t throw a party (he’s ill, he’s broke, he’s depressed) and if he eats some cake he’ll be sick, or he just hates sweets. Or you’re in some remote place where there’s no way of having a party. Wouldn’t he love it if you thought of him and celebrated in a way? I would be very moved by something like this.
