If you have to know every tiny detail of your waist size, this is the gadget for you. No pound will go unnoticed with this one, you can even subtract 1.5 centimeters if you happen to be wearing a shirt at the time of measuring. The tape’s range is from 50 on up to 150cm. It requires 2 AAA batteries to keep it up and running. All you need to do to get one of your own is pay the clearly affordable price of $448. Personally, I think I’ll just stick to my non-digital measuring tape at that price.

For those of you audiophiles now you can wear a TRS connector. The same type used for headphones, guitars and telephone switchboards. It’s cast in sterling silver with rhodium plating or with 24-karat gold carat plating. To get your own all you’ll have to do is pay $220. On the other hand, perhaps you could just make your own using a real connector and save yourself quite a bit of cash.

Most men don’t usually need some odd piece of clothing to store their MP3 player within. Typically a pants pocket works just fine. Well if that’s just not good enough now you can own the Thomas Pink commuter tie. Just what every guy has always wanted, a bright pink tie to store their Nano. They’re limited edition ties so you’ll want to hurry if you’re just dying to buy one. It’ll cost you $100 when they start hitting Thomas Pink stores in September, you’ll also be able to find them online.

Being a person that enjoys Tootsie Pops, I’ve often had to deal with the issue of getting frustrated when I need to set it down. I’ve yet to figure out how to deal with that, well apparently someone has solved the problem. By creating a solid chunk of wood with a hole in the center. It weighs 2lbs and only two have been created. Apparently two is all that will be created. It’s currently up for auction on eBay for 24 more days. There are no offers, but don’t worry, you can buy it now for the low price of $2,700.

Have you ever had a small child draw a picture for you and you’ve slipped up and asked the dreaded question, “What is it?”. Not the smartest move, they get offended and their poor child ego deflates immediately. That’s the exact question that ran through my head when I saw this lamp though. Apparently it’s a pig and if they didn’t tell me that, I don’t think I’d have ever guessed it. This Pig Lamp takes one of those spiral bulbs and turns it into a quirky tale for the pig, which is, admittedly, pretty cool. You can purchase the lamp for $90 from the MoMa Store. Of course if you do pick it up, you’re going to have a lot of guests staring it down trying to figure it out.

Remember those random movies where someone cuts the end of a rope only to drop the chandelier on their pursuer’s head? Well try to imagine if the chandelier had been this one, it would have had a slightly more pointy ending. This Hypolux Chandelier is made out of commercial syringes, so those are actually fully functioning syringes hanging from this light. It’d make for a very surprising piece to find within someone’s home. It’s no concept design either, this chandelier can be purchased for the affordable price of $395.

This is probably one of the most bizarre USB drives I’ve seen. It’s based off of an Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, that lived in the 1800s. It’s just so incredibly random to base a drive off of the man. Ned Kelly is not only known as a criminal, but to some a folk hero. He wasn’t all bad, but to create a flash drive in his image is just odd to say the least. The Etsy page that it’s listed on makes matters even worse. They don’t state why they created the drive in his image, nor do they give the important detail as to how much storage is on the drive. Either way though, you’ll end up paying $70 for the drive if you’re interested.

Want to get an alarm clock that is definitely out of this world and totally different from the rest you’ve used before? The Finger Dance Alarm Clock fits the bill, and chances are you can tell from the name itself that it will be quite a challenge to shut the alarm once it goes off, assuming you’re characteristically drowsy each morning when you are jolted awake. You will need to place your fingers on the lighted up squares in the right sequence as shown to shut the alarm, otherwise using a hammer by the bedside might help, albeit that would mean smashing up a £9.99 device.

If you’re looking for a truly eye catching ashtray, this would definitely do the trick. Not only does he look pretty dark and gloomy as he is, but as soon as you place your cigarette in the Skullrilla’s mouth, his eyes and nose will begin to smoke. Of course you could also use this for a candy dish or something equally goofy. However, it won’t have the interesting smoke effect with that sort of thing. Although this creation from David Weeks is cool, it comes at a ridiculous price. It’ll cost you £37 or about $60, yes, for an ashtray.

If you are tired of normal stockings, these new ones will definitely shake things up a bit. It has all the veins and arteries printed directly onto the stockings, giving your legs a slightly cryptic look. Of course you’ll end up paying a small fortune for these. They will cost you € 4,100 or about $5,900 from the UpFactory. Given how often I’ve managed to get a snag in my panty hose, I’d be petrified to look at them wrong and for a run to appear in my $6,000 stockings.
