I didn’t know they even made manual typewriters anymore!
This Olivetti manual typewriter isn’t such a bad idea, you know – manually-operated gadgets don’t crash very often, that’s for sure. I don’t know how portable it is, but for whipping up a quick letter using (probably) a cute typewriter font, this would be quite perfect, [...]

 This remote-controlled tissue box is one to file under “what will they think of next?”.
Actually, it might be better filed under “Why?”.
But I can see it now: let’s race our boxes of Kleenex!
Let’s do it, shall?
We all sometimes like to pretend household items are racing cars. Well, now you really can. The RC [...]

  I’m not so sure anyone at my place would actually clue in that this Eye Clock is, well, a clock – but it sure would be fun to wave a casual hand toward it when someone asks, “What time is it?”
And in case you were wondering, here’s an interpretation guide, of sorts:
… this [...]

  
Well. I don’t know whether to laugh or say “Eeewwww”. But one thing I’ve been thinking: these Fly Earbuds would make a perfect stocking stuffer for a certain someone.
The question is, do you have that particular type of certain someone on your list? I’m not sure whether a “no” is such a bad thing [...]

  
This botanical air purifier is pretty ingenious – it’ll clean the air while prettying up the place, too. I guess you simply remove the plant once it gets too big for its new home …
Simply place any houseplant inside the container and the integrated, specially designed fan draws in ambient air toxins and circulates them [...]

 
I love this! I am a self-proclaimed Lego geek and I HEART HEART HEART this Lego digital camera.
By the way, in case you hadn’t noticed, yes, I like this camera.
Of course, the specs aren’t quite the point of this beautiful little jaunt down the hallways of your childhood, it’s the idea. Even though [...]

Well, no, this Fisticup isn’t really a gadget. But it made me laugh. Let’s just say it’s manually operated, shall we?
Show up an hour late to your morning status meeting with one of these in your hand and, trust us, no one’s gonna say squat.

Oh, yes, I’ll say. Fun stuff for work, that’s [...]

 
So I was thinking … a platinum credit card! I could go shopping at some really high-end stores and flash this baby around. Think the sales people will notice it’s a platinum credit card MP3 player and not the real thing? Yeah, I think so too.
Still, it’s kind of cute. Nice stocking stuffer, anyway.

Single servings of virtually any kind of hot beverage you might be craving – yes! I need a Tassimo brewer. It will help me wake up in the mornings, stay perky in the afternoons, and relax sleepily in the evenings. Nothing like a life made easy, right?
Did I mention, I want one?
With the touch of [...]

These Domsai Terraniums are just incredible, don’t you think? I’d soooo love one for my desk. They’re inspiring just to look at, and hey, I’m all for interactive decor if they’re as sleek as these are.
Matteo Cibic—a multi-threat creative director for architecture, design and ad brands—describes his little guys as a kind of tamagotchi for [...]

 
This wooden Maru calculator is just different enough to attract some looks when you whip it out to perform some vital calculation. Not sure how eco-friendly it is, but it’s definitely striking.

 
Fairly frequently, I come across stuff that has me reaching for my wallet – or at least, my wish list. This My Document laptop case is right up there – it’s too cool and geeky for words!
I wonder if they have a netbook-sized one …
The MY DOCUMENT laptop case series is inspired by [...]

Okay, we just love these – what better way to express your holiday spirit then to sport this Jewel Christmas Tree USB drive around your neck?
Ho ho ho, and all that jazz, you know …

 
We just have to say, this Fuji Instax Instant Camera looks like so much fun! It prints credit-sized pictures, that are framed in a Polaroid style. You get a built-in flash, four exposure settings and wide angle lens.
Say “Cheese”!
No USB cables, no memory cards, and no computer. Just a few basic chemical reactions that [...]

 
We have but one thought about this Bottle Lock: sure, it looks like it’d come in handy, especially when one has untrustworthy roommates, but here’s the thing: what if you forgot the combo you set?
An inappropriate spot of memory loss (which might well happen if you happened to have already emptied a few [...]

S’mores on demand! We can definitely see this Microwave S’mores Maker getting a very good workout around here. Can you imagine? Just stock up on those graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate, and you can have S’mores anytime of the day or night, no campfire required.
You just might need to add a note to [...]

 
In some moods, I find this dual time owl watch necklace very cute. In other moods, it looks kind of eerie. I think it has everything to do with whether I’m feeling particularly “owl-y” at the moment.
This would make a great gift for that person on your list who collects owls, though …
Now [...]

We like the Lomography Diana F+ Glow in the Dark camera – it appeals to our creative, geeky, gadget-loving side. What is Lomography?

Charge her [...]
