Stupid Question Sticky Notes

edwin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:15:43 +0000

Teachers tend to encourage the little ones to ask questions in class, claiming that there is no such thing as a stupid question. However, little ones out there claim otherwise (it seems to me anyways), where a question asked by a kid who is not accepted by everyone else in class tends to get teased later on at the playground or during recess. I guess stupid questions only have a higher chance to find a place at home, although annoying siblings might also be a cause of confidence deflation as well. Enter the $3.99 Stupid Question Sticky Notes – where it allows one to write a question, stick it somewhere where the adult can view it, and receive a written answer after that – all without the ridicule associated with the question. What do you think of it?

You might be able to rock your family’s world by being one of the better guitarists among your clan, but can you rock out a BBQ fest? With the $19.99 BBQ Guitar Spatula, you can do both! Talk about heavy metal grilling – all you need to do is raise that non-musical axe, flip a handful of burgers and soon your family will elevate your status in their eyes from just ‘Oh it is dad’ to ‘My superhero!’. Perfect for guitar enthusiasts and musicians, and when you scream out in pain because you accidentally singed yourself against the grill due to carelessness, others won’t think of it as anything else other than you bursting your lungs for a Black Sabbath performance.

Magical Unicorn Mask

Unicorns are magical creatures, and if you want to introduce a little bit of hilarious magic (some might think of it as a heart attack) into the lives of your family, then the $29.95 Magical Unicorn Mask is well placed to get the job done. After all, you can always horse around the home in so many other ways, but being a unicorn certainly raises the level up by a few notches. Just make sure no poacher gets hold of that horn of yours which is considered to contain magical properties, lest you suffer from the after effects of being shot with a paralyzing dart.

Zombie Skull Decanter

Yes, we looked at the heart shaped carafe the other day, so why not go all the way with a sombre mood by including the $19.95 Zombie Skull Decanter into the mix as well? After all, there is nothing quite like winding down after a hard day of work with some cognac in hand, right? All you need would be your favorite spirit inside swirling around, and it is more than enough to carve a smile on your face as you hold a one-man party. Heck, even if your mates come over for a tipple or two, it should not matter, as there would be more than enough to go around – right? The Zombie Skull Decanter measures 7.5″ ‘x 4.25′” x 4.75″‘ and can hold 27 fluid ounces.

Human Heart Carafe

Have a heart, your wife says, as you continue to struggle in juggling your time between your job and the family. Well, since Valentine’s Day is coming up and you want to be a man of your word, perhaps planning a romantic candlelight dinner for two might be your cup of tea – in addition to showing her that you have a heart by presenting the Human Heart Carafe. Designed by Liviana Osti and called Cuore, it is described as “two glass carafes shaping a human heart when joined together. The heart is a reminder for the generally underestimated but essential role health plays in our lives. In order to prevent cardiovascular and blood pressure diseases we have to start with the root of the problem, our daily consume of food and beverage. A wine decanter is built together with a water carafe. A half half coloured mix of red and white. Red wine stands for low pressure, water stands for high pressure. The organic heart shape has been developed into two different, stand-alone objects according to the natural division of ventricles.” Sounds deep, but drink up and it will all be clearer for you after that.

Dictionary Desk Pillow

Students at colleges and universities tend to lack sleep – and a whole lot of it, to boot. After all, there are all those late night parties and gaming sessions that clearly shove sleep down the pecking order of their “to do” list. If you want to catch up on your snoozefest, you might want to consider this rather expensive pillow known as the Dictionary Desk Pillow that goes for $80. Not only do you look as though you were hard at work, building up your word power, you are actually catching up on your lost hours of sleep. This “book” even comes with its own paper case to make it look smarter than normal, and your boss might even give you a pass – just make sure you tell your colleagues that you suffer from a really serious case of extreme nearsightedness, and your eyes are sensitive enough to read invisible ink without the heat.

I am quite sure that you have read more than your fair share of Chuck Norris jokes by now, that you think the man is more than legendary. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but he got beat by Bruce Lee in the movies, didn’t he? Still, if you want the all round tough guy Chuck to keep you safe at night from the monsters that are residing under your bed, you might be interested in this 7″ tall Chuck Norris Plush who is capable of churning out 10 different Chuck Norris phrases. Of course, you can continue to spout your own Chuck Norris facts if you want to, but that is another story for a different day. Haiii-yaaah!

Skyrim Valentine’s Day Cards

Nothing says love quite like flowers, chocolates and a card – while the first two are pretty easy to find, selecting the right kind of card could prove to be more of a challenge than you originally thought. Fret not – video game fanatics who are caught up in the entire Skyrim business will have something that will save their bacon this Valentine’s Day – in the form of the Skyrim Valentine’s Day Cards. Jemma Salume, the artist behind this series of adorable cards, will rely on the entire folklore of Skyrim, and my personal favorite has an “arrow to the heart” reference. No more lonely adventuring from now on, eh?

Unicorn Corkscrew

edwin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:38:40 +0000

Unicorns are magical creatures, and as we all well know, one of the more confounding things in this life would be the stubbornness of a cork that stops you from getting to the innards of a bottle of wine. Well, there is nothing quite like a little bit of magic to get that cork out, so why not let the $9.95 Unicorn Corkscrew get to work right away? Known as the Screwnicorn for those who love to play around with words, this mystical, wine opening beauty is sure to set tongues wagging, and who knows, after consuming more wine than one should, he or she could actually end up in an enchanted place, eyes perceiving glitter and rainbows before passing out?

Log Pillow Log Pillow

edwin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:42:08 +0000

Sleeping on a hard pillow is hardly a comfortable nor welcoming experience, but the Log Pillow that masquerades as something rock solid is certainly far more comfortable than what you would be able to find in the woods. Retailing for £15.99 a pop, the Log Pillow is actually a super soft travel pillow which was specially designed to resemble a log, and even better news is this – termites would be unable to eat their way through this no matter how hard they want to, simply because it does not appeal to their tiny appetites. With thousands of squidgy micro-beads inside that will mold to your head, you would certainly have a better sleep from now on if all you had was a stone for a pillow.
