Tie Caddy

I don’t wear ties myself (did you guess this one already) but the Tie Caddy seems to be pretty handy. Almost makes me wish I had a bunch of ties so that I could get them all organized.
Nah. I’m not that anal. No ties, no organizing. But if you did have ties …
“Ties will […]

Potty Bench

It’s a potty! It’s a bench! Nope. It’s a Potty Bench (not to mention a storage container, too.) Potties these days are definitely into multi-tasking. That orange thing is the deflector shield, by the way.

Fuse Earrings

Fuse earrings! Got to say, can one really get much geekier? A rhetorical question, by the way, so don’t bother answering. Of course I can get geekier. Just not in this post.
“When we first saw these earrings we could not “re-fuse” the chance to make them available to you. Ok, that was bad. Really bad. […]

Spider Catcher

Okay, I have to admit. I actually like spiders. Out of everything in the creepy crawly world, spiders rank up there below my favorites like ladybugs and fireflies. I think it’s because spiders set up those beautiful webs and eat the creepy crawlies that I really really don’t like.
Still … I don’t particularly like […]

Play Ball!

Here’s to going retro - the Old Century Baseball game is like a pinball game, only without the bells, lights and whistles. No batteries required. You launch the pinball and swing the bat. Sounds strange … nothing electronic to it.

“What The?” Word-and-Character Magnets

These aren’t technically gadgets, but we’ll just say these are “manually operated” gadgets, okay? Lucky Cat is cute, but I’m rather partial to the Zen Monkey myself, and the Evil Troll is a riot … especially “Give all me”. I like the sound of that one.
“Lucky Cat – For thousands of years, the Lucky Cat […]
