Start your own band with the Tengu Allstars
We all remember the adorable USB interactive toys called Tengu. Now they are back with awesome hairstyles and personality to go with it! The new Tengu Allstars include Rotten, Stardust and Woodstock with a taste of their own. Rotten loves the raw, fast and loud music from 1977. This love was triggered when he discovered his dad’s old punk collection. Stardust enjoys glitter and glam with his music and Woodstock is about peace, love and good music. These $35 cuties emote and lip-sync to every sound they hear. They even come with stick on accessories to add more glam and style. Just plug them on your laptop, play some music and start your own band with these rockers.
Shake Weight, a suggestive way to lose weight
Gone are the days when you had to slog it out in the gym to tone your arms. The Shake Weight is here to effortlessly tone your arms in just six minutes a day. This device is shaped like a dumbbell and you just have to start it, hold it and let it work for you. Check out the video for yourself to see what I mean by ‘suggestive’. It looks like, well, I’m not saying it. The makers ‘claim’ that it uses the principle of dynamic inertia to increase the muscle activity in your arms. It’s hard to believe how just holding a device can tone your arms, but if it’s going to save the effort of going to the gym, its well worth a try.
The LG Wine set to make a comeback with 3G this September
Ever since its launch in May 2007, the LG Wine has sold over 2 million units around the world till now. This phone was originally aimed for middle-aged users and featured a large screen and keypad, quick-access keys, text-to-speech, and the simple overall design. LG now plans to equip this successful phone with 3G and release it this September. The LG Wine 3G will first be launched first in Korea via SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom. No other details are out yet, but considering the success of its predecessors, I am sure this phone will rock too!
Thongs for your feet
I thought I had seen it all, then I saw underwear for the feet. It sounds and looks quite silly to me. In fact, they are styled such that I'd have to call them thongs for the feet. I really don't see the point of these. I'd rather spend my money on real shoes, not these weird things. Unless you have a serious foot fetish, there's no real use for these foot thongs. But to each his own, maybe you like it more than I do.
Chocolate iPhone Case looks delicious
I love chocolate, but I'm trying to watch my weight, so that's a luxury I can't afford. So I'm currently satisfying my cocoa cravings by surrounding myself with inedible chocolate items. This iPod Touch and iPhone case shaped like a delicious milk chocolate bar serves that purpose perfectly. It definitely adds a yummy touch to your phone or MP3 player and sets it apart from the crowd. It also has openings on the sides so you can insert the headphones and charger, or connect it to a speaker or docking station. It's made from silicone, so it'll definitely protect your device from shocks and scratches. You can get it for $16 here. If you have an iPod shuffle, try this chocolate case.
Led Nightlight for the Toilet to put an end to toilet seat squabbles
I don't know who would want to light up their toilet and that too in Christmas colors, but apparently such people exist. It's an LED nightlight that brightens your toilet in either red or green light depending on whether the seat is left up or down. I suppose it's a good reminder for putting down the toilet seat, but it does seem like an over the top gesture. It's an intelligent gadget that detects you approaching the toilet, thanks to its built-in PIR sensor. So when you are close, the lights turn on and turn off when you walk away. Remember it only works at night. If the idea is sold to you, you can buy this toilet seat light for $28 at Curiosite.
The Eyezone Eye Massager: A sight for sore eyes
Who doesn't like a soothing massage? However, we tend to neglect our eyes when they need it the most after constant exposure to brightly lit screens and what not. The Eyezone Eye Massager is literally a sight for sore eyes. It uses vibrating foam pads around your eyes to gently massage and relax them. Also, it has acupressure to help with sore eyes, migraines and even sinus problems. It's also good for dealing with presbyopia or the onset of old age caused by loss of muscle elasticity in your eyes. You can buy it for $15 here. Get rid of all your puffy and tired eyed woes!
Disappearing Bikini: Saucy or Offensive?
This teeny weeny not so polka dotted bikini looks really hot and perfect to show off your curves at first glance, right? However it is designed to show off a lot more than you would desire. This thong suit is something of a prank that dissolves after a few seconds in the water. It's selling in Germany at the moment and this Get Naked costume is sheer joy for men. Personally, I think it's quite outrageous to think that they would make a product like this that is quite insulting to a woman. On the flip side, if you are a private pool or hot tub, you can pleasantly surprise your special someone with this saucy bikini. It's there one minute, gone the next. Who says you can't do magic? What's your take on the issue?

Wearable health monitoring systems to help you get fit
In a bid to monitor people’s health comfortably and without having those ugly white patches stuck on the body, the HealthWear concept has evolved. This project is funded by the Directorate General Information Society of the European Commission and aims to provide accurate and reliable health monitoring, especially of those in rehabilitation phase. The patients can just wear the suit and the respective data is transmitted to a tiny mobile sized device. This suit is made up of special health care clothing and includes sensors to monitor the heart rate measurement, blood flow, perspiration, stress and temperature. It is much more comfortable than those sensor patches attached to the skin. The patients can also go about their daily activities with this suit on and improve their life style effectively. Nurses won’t have to the patients and wake them up form their sleep to take readings if this concept actually takes shape.
