Keychains have become a part of us, they tell the world something about our personality.
If your personality is all about “look at me, I’m manly AND smart”, try this. The Testosterone Molecule Keychain features a molecule probably few will recognize, though most know about it.
In a best case scenario, you’re a scientist and the girl of your dreams notices the keychain and, being extra-smart too, recognizes the molecule and is extremely impressed. In a worst case scenario, the girl in question asks what it means and tells you that people who want to show off their manliness are lame (but hey, it’s not showing off if 98% of the population doesn’t get it, right?)

Most people (except you weirdos – yes, you, the ones who have no problem waking up at 6 a.m.!) have a certain type of hatred towards the alarm clock. It’s pointless – it’s not the poor clock’s fault that you have to work in order to eat – but who hasn’t woken up cursing at or hitting the clock?
With the Gear Alarm Clock you might have trouble doing the latter. One, you might hurt yourself. Two, it looks too cool to destroy. You can see all the gears inside and, I assume, you can also see how they work. The only problem is that you could fall back to sleep if you stare at all the moving wheels too much.

Duct tape wallets… Very cool or much too geeky? I don’t mind them, although I prefer a “real” wallet. Then again, a friend of mine made his own and was very happy with it.
These duct tape wallets have the old-fashioned DYI feel, but I bet they’re better quality (let’s be honest, DYI might be fun, but most people aren’t that good at it). And they add a little extra: you can get them in two styles: floppy disk or joystick controller. Either way, you’ll get an excuse to tell those young’uns how it was back in your day, before the birth of the CD.

Mmmm… tea. There should be a special word for people like us. Teaholics, maybe. My friends have learned not to let me near the tea department in a store…
This nifty device is very shiny – and overpriced. But it looks oh so cool… And it’s very simple: you just fill the Tea Stick Infuser with tea and you swirl it in a cup of hot water. You get tea in a classy way and you’ll definitely impress your tea-crazy friends.
The only problem is that, nice as it may look, $20 is a bit too much. However, I’m sure it would make a nice gift. Not extremely practical (it can only make one cup of tea, after all), but impressive and unique.
