“Please Hold” Cell Phone Handset

If you know someone who can’t stop talking about “them good old days” (likely while sitting watching a satellite movie on his/her 60″ widescreen from the deluxe hot tub with Internet access and scarfing down a bottle of beer ordered online that morning), the “Please Hold” cell phone handset is the perfect gift if you [...]

Walk Your Dog

I guess I can see its usefulness if your dog’s been injured, or is too old (or you have a cat, in which case I’d say, good luck and make sure you’ve got ointment ready for all those scratches you’ll end up with), but otherwise doesn’t a pet stroller kind of defeat the whole [...]

Heel Smoother

It’s been a cold, dry winter, and I haven’t been brave enough to take a good look at my long-suffering feet. And sandal season is coming!

Carlos Night Light

I personally think this sad little Carlos night light is simply too much for a dog lover to want to have around all the time, but your mileage may vary. Seems perfect for a vet’s office, though.

Fireflies Jar

Since I have absolutely no inclination to rush around outside this summer catching fireflies, but I wouldn’t mind capturing memories of childhood somehow, the Fireflies Jar will probably fit the bill on all fronts. Sweet.

Color-Changing Mood Clock

I admit it. I seem to have a thing for clocks. So naturally, I’ve got to share this Color-Changing Mood Clock. Soft, fuzzy lighting, a different color for each hour – what could be better? (Well, maybe a mood-ring-like mood clock. Remember mood rings? You know, where when you touch it, the color changes to [...]

Tangle Light Wave Lamp

The Tangle Light Wave Lamp is the answer to one of my deepest desires – it’s interactive! Not just in the everyday “respond to sound” sound and voice activation way – no, this light actually lets you play with it. You can twist and turn each of the 20 sections to your heart’s content. Ahhhh. [...]

Baseball LCD TV

I don’t even really like baseball all that much (too many memories of playing in a league one summer when I was 13 and not-being-very-good-at-it), but this 10-inch baseball LCD TV is very cute. It would be even cuter if it was a teeny tiny portable the size of an actual baseball …
“This Baseball Champions [...]

Nabaztag Wi-Fi Bunny

A Wi-Fi bunny! How did we ever get by without one of these dahlink things? I dunno. It’s kind of pricy, though, so I think I’m going to have to get by without one for a bit longer.
“Basically Nabaztag is a desktop companion that utilises WiFi technology to fetch information from the Internet and convey [...]

The Nintendo Famicon Controller Keychain will bring back memories – if not yours, when you swing this thing around you’ll probably hear “Hey! Isn’t that …” Press the A button and impress them even more:

Dave’s Gourmet Hot Sauce & Garden Spray

While technically this doesn’t qualify as a gadget, Dave’s Gourmet Hot Sauce & Garden Spray just might be the first edible pepper spray.
Which makes it kind of gadgety in our books.
