Cardona Retro Mailbox will make you wait for letters eagerly
Mail boxes are great or maybe I'm fascinated by them since I've never actually owned one. However, if I ever do, the Cadrona Mailbox will be my first choice. It perfectly suits my retro tastes and it is practical as well, that's an unbeatable combination. It has two compartments with the top one for newspapers and magazines while the lower one is good for storing letters and small parcels. It comes in a wide rage of 9 colors, but I like the red one the best. You can buy the Cadrona Mailbox from LetterBoxes for about $100 and an additional $50 for the matching post.

R2D2 is extremely popular, we all know that and we especially love him here at GizmoDiva. That's quite clear with all the R2D2 products we feature like the R2D2 shampoo bottle or Cookers that resemble this cute robot. This time around we have a cute little pepper mill shaped like R2D2. All you need to do is twist his adorable head and pepper sprinkles out of his rear end. Normally, this would have been considered gross, but R2D2's poop is considered cute too.

The CLAiR Pink Ribbon is a pretty and cute HDMI ready TV
This one is strictly for the ladies and boys who are in touch with their feminine side and don't mind pink. When you are thinking of buying an HDMI capable TV, you don't usually wonder if it will come in pink. Unless you are me of course, then everything has to be in pink. So for people like me, the CLAiR Pink Ribbon is a very nice option in a sea of black and silver TV's! This baby comes with a 1280x800 resolution on a 13.3” LCD and HDMI support (600:1 contrast ratio and a 300cd/m2 Brightness). It's tiny, so it won't really replace the main TV, but it would be nice to hook it up in an office and spare room. This pretty little TV is available in Japan from today for $366.
Cruise around town in the motorized and futuristic iShoes
Driving can be such a pain, that's why I never drive. But then again, I hate public transport and walking as well. So I'm quite stranded most of the time unless I can manage to get a ride with a friend. Ilya Kaganovich with the help of his brother, Boris Kaganovich, an aerospace engineering student have come up with a good alternative for this problem. They have invented motorized shoes to help you get to places. This makes me feel like I'm a part of 'Back to The Future' series. All you have to do is strap on the “iShoes” and with the assistance of handheld controls you can travel at speeds up to 13.5mph. Sounds quite simple.
Accessorize your ears with the Wiener Dog Earbuds
Everyone has the same boring old Apple earbuds. Nothing will set you apart from the crowd if you sport those. That's why I suggest you go for the Wiener Dog earbuds. Let's admit it, they are fun and cool, something the plain Apple earbuds could never be. And you if love dogs, Dachschunds in particular, then this is perfect for you. This Wiener dog is friendly with most MP3 players, portable gaming systems and laptops. It's also a great conversation starter in my opinion. You can buy these quirky earbuds for just $13 at PatinaStores.

Transformers is one of the most talked about movies of the summer. With this blockbuster lined up for release, it is only natural that we will come across a bunch of Transformers' goodies. The Transforming Laser Mouse - Trypticon is one of the latest products to join this fun-filled transformers extravaganza. It looks amazing and everyone would want a dinosaur that turns into a mouse. I think it's a pretty badass 800 dpi three button laser mouse with a fun twist to it. You can buy the Transforming Trypticon Laser Mouse for $60 from September 2009.

The Pink Kitty Cat Umbrella is sure to freak out feline lovers
The Pink Kitty Cat Umbrella has definitely managed to freak me out. This weird looking kitty with its evil green eyes is an umbrella to protect you from the rain. And when not in use, you can wrap this kitty up in its pink faux fur case that is as hideous as the umbrella itself. Designed in France by Crescioni Vanina, this kitty is definitely not worth buying. Unless of course, you think you can carry off this color and the faux fur in style. Even feline lovers would think twice before investing in this umbrella that promises to fit easily into your backpacks and briefcases.
Microban Health V mouse pad helps to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome
When products come with health benefits you just have to buy them. After all, good health means overall wellbeing of the person. That is exactly why I suggest we all must invest in the Microban Health V mouse pad. This unique pad helps to prevent the carpal tunnel syndrome. For the ignorant, carpal tunnel syndrome is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to paresthesias, numbness and muscle weakness in the hand. A product of Fellowes, it was recently presented in Seoul, Korea. It is not just the health benefits that are appealing but the design and color (pink) too make this mouse pad a must buy for all.
