The Snore Stopper sounds like a great device to have on hand, especially if it’s your partner rather than you who’s having the snoring problem - as in, you’re the one getting woken up by it.

The Mathmos Airswitch look like they belong in a lab more than they do in my house, but they’re kind of cool all the same. When you move your hand above the light, you can brighten or dim it, or turn it on or off.

Another pretty phone! The BenQ Siemens AL26 gives us a sweet butterfly motif, but alas, it’s rather short on features. So if you want a phone to wave around and be decorative, this one deserves a look, but if you’re pining for advanced features, like a camera, this is not the one to pick up. […]

Getting my kids to eat breakfast is always a battle in this house! School just started up again and this year my youngest started Kindergarten. Maybe if I buy him the pooh toaster I can get him to enjoy breakfast?! One out of three kids eating breakfast is good odds at this point. And who […]

Is it just me, or is summer nearly over? It’s times like now when something like the Corn Dog Cooker starts looking appealing.

I just thought the Fire Hydrant Drink Dispenser looked so interesting - it’s not something that I could have dreamed up myself, that’s for sure. An elegant fire hydrant … sounds a bit odd. But it’s not bad looking.

I am not a smoker. I never have been and never will I be. However, there are quite a few friends and family members that I thought of when I saw the USB ashtray. I am very sensitive to the smell of smoke, this nifty little car aborbs smoke and odors. The smoke passes through […]

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got tons of stuff on my iTunes and I’m always thinking it would be nice to have an easy way to get it from there to the places around the house where I like to lounge around (as in, not where my PC is). And yeah, while I […]

I love anything red these days, so that is initially why I got excited when I saw this red sphere clock radio. But most of all I got excited because it’s nice and small! The alarm clock I have now takes up too much room on the nightstand and constantly smacks into the lamp. I […]
