Monday Mug

TGIF! Well, that happens tomorrow, but once the weekend euphoria is over, it is back to the daily grind of working at the office when Monday beckons – unless, of course, it is a public holiday. For those of us who need to get our daily dose of caffeine (or a favorite hot beverage), then we surely have a mug marked as our own at the office. Why not chase away those Monday blues with the £14.99 Monday Mug? Yes sir, this mug might look really sulky at first glance, but the moment you pour hot water in, the front will be replaced by a bright-eyed smiley one. Definitely perfect to chase away those blues feeling, although it does seem to be rather overpriced.

The Horse Head Mask

Internet memes have a strange way of manifesting themselves, and we all know about Sarah Jessica Parker with the horse face meme. You can now live it out with the $25.99 Horse Head Mask to matched your hidden equine personality. This high quality latex horse head mask is guaranteed to send other people guffawing in laughter, although I do believe that it is more likely you will end being stared at more than laughed at. After all, wearing this will make anyone look ridiculous, and for a female wearing one of these, instead of twirling your hair around, you can always play with your mane. The size of this mask should be able to fit most adult heads, and needless to say, if you are allergic to latex, just steer clear of it.

Finger Sporks for fun eating

Check out the $4.99 Finger Sporks, where it allows you to shovel in four times the amount of food into your mouth while others look on incredulously, wondering whether you just escaped from a place where they starved you to near-death status. Never mind about proper British manners at the table – armed with a quartet of Finger Sporks, you will be able to gobble down the delectable spread in no time at all, while others are just about to dig into their starters, you are already done with your mains, and cannot wait to “attack” the desert section at the buffet line instead. No idea on whether all fingers can fit into the Finger Sporks, though.

Beerboot lets you enjoy your drink in style

There is nothing quite like drinking to your health, or when your favorite sporting team wins (like the Giants) or loses (Patriots). If you are going to knock back a fair number of pints, then you can always do so with the Beerboot! It comes in a couple of sizes – 2 pints and 5 pints, retailing for £16.99 and £29.99, respectively. Forget about Cinderella and her glass slipper, I think the prince would have had a better time with the Beerboot. Definitely one of the more hilarious methods of proposing a toast at any dinner function, for sure!

Biohazard and Zombie Crime Scene Tape

I recently spotted an image that had the caption (not verbatim) that our generation is far better equipped to face a zombie apocalypse than an hour without power. I wonder just how true such a statement is? Well, assuming the world is going to the dogs in due time simply because there will be a biohazard “accident” happening some time down the road, we might actually get more and more news reports of family and friends being attacked by a zombie, only to make the hard decision of killing them before they turn. With the $3.99 Biohazard and Zombie Crime Scene Tape, you can be sure that you will not wander by accident into any crime scene – lest you get ambushed by a ravenous horde of brain loving zombies! Each roll has around 50 feet of warnings.

Bang-Bang Handle

I suppose if you had the persona of Angelina Jolie’s character in the movie “Wanted”, then you would definitely find the Bang-Bang Handle something worth installing in your home. Sure, you can curve bullets and all, but you can always leave reminders all over the place to whoever drops by your home that you are one deadly assassin – with smokin’ good looks, too. Designed by Nikita Kovalev, it is a good thing there is no barrel at the other side of the door, but rather, a mirror image of the same handle. Wonder what happens should Nikita come up with a trigger than can be pulled? A doorway to a secret passage opens itself up, perhaps?

Rubik’s Money Box

edwin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:30:16 +0000

Saving money for a rainy day is always good advice, but somehow, in this day and age, the rich seem to always get richer, while the poor end up poorer than normal. Most folks out there who do not want to chart their own fortune would instead look out for the big break which rarely comes. You might as well start saving today, and in order to help you save up, here is one cute way of doing so – with the £9.99 Rubik’s Money Box. Good thing you are not required to solve it before the money can be retrieved, and hopefully such a version would be in the works some time down the road.

Like Doormat to soften neighbors’ hearts

edwin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:00:17 +0000

You know how many companies and organizations out there require you to “Like” them on their Facebook page before special privileges are dished out? Well, here is something that has been translated from the virtual world to the real world – the Like Doormat that asks folks to like you and your family in order to receive special offers, including some beer and wine. Definitely something that is guaranteed to kick start a conversation, although no alcohol is guaranteed when folks flock to your doorstep. Made from 100% Olefin Indoor/Outdoor carpet with perfect bound stitched edges, this is one easy to clean doormat. You gotta fork out $17.99 for this puppy though.

Blood Towel might shock the faint hearted

edwin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:10:47 +0000

Not everyone can stomach the sight of blood – which is why the Blood Towel that you see here might not be the wisest choice of drying implements to have in your home if you happen to host plenty of guests over throughout the year. Available only in February this year (which is not that far off actually), this rather gruesome looking Blood Towel is sure to strike fear into the hearts of your guests, until they discover that this is but a prank, and the “blood stains” are actually printed on, and will not stain their hands when they use this towel to wipe their hands dry.

Shoe Tree Tulips

This is one nutty shoe rack – after all, if something costs you a whopping €199 when a simple shoe rack from IKEA costs a fraction of that price, why would you go for the former? I guess if you are rich enough to own multiple pairs of Manolos and Jimmy Choos, then an extravagant and yet artsy shoe rack like the Shoe Tree Tulips would blend in nicely with the rest of your home. The colors are fresh, no doubt about it, and so is the design. You can even join several Tulips together, resulting in a large and whimsical tulip flower bed.
