For the few that appreciate the little things in life, I introduce to you the Self-Stirring Mug from Hammacher Schlemmer, a website selling everything from "Plantar Fasciitis Orthotic Sandals", all the way to "The Resonating Transparent Speakers". This mug finally allows you to stop using your grimy fingers (you all have done this) to stir your coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or whatever it is you drink. With a small, battery powered propeller at the bottom of the mug that spins at 3,000 rpms, your drink can finally be stirred on your demand, merely by pressing down on a small button on the handle of the mug, and voila, your drink is as consistent as you dreamed it was.
(If you actually want to buy one of these, here is a link for one that's $18.99. Though I do prefer the design of the Hammacher Schlemmer's version, unfortunately it is no longer available on the website.)
#2 - OFF!'s Clip-On Mosquito Repellent
This is more of a really cool idea that hasn't quite reached it's peak yet. While the idea of not having to spray repellent on you is rather pleasant, the reality is that it's a little more pleasant than this thing. Firstly it's kind of huge, so it's more like a mag-lite on your belt than it is a small, useful little device. Next, Consumer Reports posted a video, showing tests that they conducted. In these tests, the "test subjects" were in an enclosed space with hundreds of mosquito's, and one of these clip-on repellents. Instead of lasting anywhere near the claimed "up to 12 hours", the testing ended in two. Also on the side of the box when you buy this thing, it actually says to "Avoid Inhaling Vapor". So, whatever is being blown out of this thing on our belts is toxic to us, and most likely everything around us as well. Wonderful. In the end your opinion is what matters, so give it a shot and pick one up from your local WalMart. Or don't. The choice is yours.
#3 - The Mini Donut Factory
Straight from the brilliant minds at the ThinkGeek website, here is one of my personal favorites. This marvelous, beautiful piece of work, is like the Easy-Bake oven for adult males. It is anything and everything we could ever hope for. Donuts in the morning, every morning? No problem. Donuts at the office? No problem. Donuts at school? Problem? NO. The benefits that come with this, is these are most likely going to taste better, and be better for you, than donuts at large chain stores. Make your own personalized donuts; sugar-free, gluten-free, any topping you can find, the possibilities are truly endless. Fresh donuts on demand is now a possibility. Thank you.
