Miscellaneous

This is one mug that the clueless or less alert might actually pick up and use, or by folks who are confident enough of themselves that they do not mind giving the rest of the office a laugh. The £4.99 Surprise Mug – I’m a Twat! is the perfect drinking utensil to place at the office, especially when you make the favorite beverage of your most despised colleague as a gesture of goodwill, only to have everyone else look at said person with that knowing glance and telling eye whenever they finish up their drink. If you are on the receiving end of all those laughter, you can opt to drink it like a boss without giving two hoots about being the butt of an office prank, earning new respect from everyone else.

No, it is not your imagination going wild after you have had your 10th shot of vodka in 10 minutes, and neither is it the after effects of a Flaming Lamborghini. These uniquely fashioned tipsy drink glasses will retail for £65 for a pack of half dozen, and since all of them rely on gravity for the deformation process during manufacturing, you can be more or less assured that no two are the same. Definitely perfect for those who want to be truly unique at all times, and want to stand out from the rest of the crowd. As for me, if I were to get drunk, I might as well settle for regular glasses that don’t cost so much even when they break in case of accidents.

With Valentine’s Day rolling around the corner, there is one gift that I would recommend you not to get (enter reverse psychology) – the £9.99 Red Heart Mouse. This particular computer peripheral surely looks better than it works, after all, the shape of it makes me wonder just how ergonomic it is for one to use in the long run. At least the romantic types will coo over it when their eyes give it a glance, but I am quite sure their countenance will change after using it for a while. Each time you move the mouse, it will flash in red for that added romantic touch. Now, the only thing it is missing is an aromatic diffuser…

Watched the latest instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean? Captain Jack Sparrow left another broken heart marooned on an island, but there is room for a fifth outing down the road as Jack’s voodoo doll washes up ashore, and as we all know, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The £7.99 Voodoo Ex-lover Dolls offers a cathartic way of releasing all the pent up negative emotions, especially right after a breakup, where there are 11 messages printed on the body like ‘Send me back my stuff’ and ‘I want you to hurt like I hurt’, although I do not think that this will work as advertised (as in, your ex will feel pain whenever you poke this doll).

Those who troll 9gag will be able to identify with one of the more famous rage faces, Forever Alone, and if you happen to know anyone who falls under that category in real life, perhaps the $2.50 Lip Lolly might help lighten up the mood during those lonely Saturday nights. After all, with Valentine’s Day approaching, the depressing downward spiral of being lonely could prove to be overbearing for some more than others, and the Lip Lolly is definitely a sweet antidote to such a feeling. This strawberry flavored and sexy lollipop measures 3″ tall and cannot wait to enter a set of puckering lips!

Most mustaches “talk”, simply because there is a human mouth located right under it, controlled by the brain of a man (and in extremely rare cases, that of a woman). Well, you need not have to be the right gender or own the correct amount of hormones to get a mustache growing, as the $3.99 Talking Mustache Keyring will get the job done. Attached to a keyring to make carrying around your collection of jingles nice and fun, although there is no guarantee that the Talking Mustache Keyring could win you brownie points with the ladies.

Do you think that there is such a thing as being too safe? I guess so, and if you happen to be one who cycles to work and back, as well as to run errands, then perhaps the £14.99 Reflective Cycling Socks might be worth looking into. It obviously looks and works like a regular pair of socks, but these black cotton socks come with a highly reflective patch at the back, making it a potential lifesaver. It will hide under your trousers by day, and when you head home and want to go off the beaten trail when you set out from your house, then the Reflective Cycling Socks will reveal itself. Available in one-size-fits-all, hopefully this pair will help save your life during one of those night time rides.

Talk about bringing new meaning to the phrase “You turn me on” with the $9.95 Chocolate Light Switch. This unique 4.5 oz, gourmet, solid milk chocolate is definitely a play on that particular phrase, and if it does not melt any woman’s heart, I have no idea what would. All right, I jest, a 2-carat diamond ring would do far more than a piece of creatively formed chocolate, but you get what I mean – for the masses out there who do not have a celebrity’s monetary power at their disposal. Who would have thought that this little sweet gift might result the lights being turned off just for you in the real world?

They say that a married couple should learn to share everything, and while some spouses do not mind sharing a toothbrush, there are others who think that such a personal item should, at least, remain personal – you can have your toothbrush, while I will keep mine, thank you very much. I guess when you compare sharing a toothbrush with that of a tongue scraper, the former is far more bearable – what do you think? Enter the $4.95 His and Hers Tongue Scrapers, where these 7″ long plastic scrapers will come in blue and red colors to traditionally denote his and hers’, respectively, without causing any confusion in the bathroom when one wakes up googly-eyed.
