Wii feels the force with the Darth Vader Sensor Bar Holder

Darth_Vader_Sensor_Bar_Holder.jpg
Here's something to make your Wii cooler. Anything that gets a Star Wars touch to it only turns better. The Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder is a great example of this. The Darth Vader character is cast in high-density resin and Vader's specially crafted Lightsaber safely supports the Wii Sensor Bar while maintaining full range. Darth Vader holding the sensor bar makes it so much more badass. You can buy it for $50 at Starwars.

Nokia phone turns Steampunk

nokia_steampunk.jpg
Usually, I think Nokia has the worst designs for their phones. I don't remember a single Nokia phone being stylish in the least bit. So I can understand John Mavrovic's decision to make one look better. However, with his excess use of a broken typewriter, parts of old clocks and rusted screws, I admit the effect is very much Steampunk, but it's kind of an eye sore. It says Globus on it and I'm sure it's going to be a hit with a niche crowd. I think I'll stick to the Sony Ericsson Hello Kitty Phone instead.

Smiley Scent Collection lifts your mood

Smiley_Scent.jpg
I always knew that scents are great weapons of seduction, but I never knew they could change your moods. The Smiley Scent collection has 'happy chemicals' that lift your mood. The fragrance is rather charming and you can't help but like this one and it's neither masculine nor feminine. The packaging resembles pharmaceuticals and laboratory containers. It appears that the formula is based on natural bio chemistry, combining the monoaminated alkaloids Theobromine and Phenylethylamine derived from pure cocoa extract. It comes in a complete range of fragrance and body care products. So you can just dab some of this on when you are feeling down and out.

Cablox to manage your wires

cablox.jpg
I know the world is headed in the wireless direction, but I feel like I am still tangled in a mess of cables. For all of you like me, the Cablox Cable Management system will seem very handy. It is a convenient solution to handle wires. All you have to do is peel off the sticky back, stick it under your table, run your cords through it and that's all it takes to make everything look neat. Multiple chords will find a home here. I love the idea of being a little more organized.

Ora concept watch has a very unique design

Ora_concept_watch.jpg
The 'Ora' concept watch looks a little too complex for me. I like things to be kept simple and this design does anything but that. It focuses on the display oftime via an unconventional mode, by replacing the expected dial arrangement found in the vast majority of the mechanical watches with a set of three interwoven tapes – one to indicate the hour(s), one to indicate the minute(s), and one to indicate the day. It feels and looks like an inside-out design. I doubt I'd want to sport one of these, but there's no doubt that Alexandros Stasinopoulos design might appeal to some.

Mascare redefines sanitary masks

Mascare.jpg
Recently there has been a rise in the sale of sanitary masks with epidemics hitting the world. However, there's absolutely nothing fashionable about boring old cloth masks. Worst of all, they cover your pretty face. But Mascare is distinctly different as it is made from transparent film so you can see the face of the wearer. Also, the front part of the mask consists of a film that is placed at a distance from the person's mouth and nose so that the person can breathe and talk easily. That's a really convenient feature. You will find that it has a special coating as to cause no steam during a person's breathing or cooking, and when the mask gets dirty you can wash it with water and use it again.

Mega Drive tote bag for old school gamers

Mega_Drive_tote_bag.jpg
I have a special place in my heart for bags and old school games, so a combination of these two things is bound to sweep me off my feet. This Mega Drive tote bag makes you nostalgic over Sega. Let's face it, the affair with Sega was great while it lasted. This cool canvas tote has a raised pocket on the outside that mimics the classic console’s cartridge slot which is a really awesome idea. You can get it for $30 and I don't think the price is too steep.

Everyone needs to keep themselves groomed, but going out for laser hair removal treatment is not only inconvenient but also expensive. Silk'n SensEpil is a really good alternative for this. It's an over-the-counter innovation that delivers the clinically proven effectiveness. It uses the Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology to create a cutting-edge, safe, user-friendly hair-eliminating solution.

Post your thoughts on funky notice boards

notice-board.jpg
I like notice boards. I like to pin up my thoughts and sketches and little art projects. If I didn't already have a massive one, I'd consider getting these pretty pink ones that can easily fit into narrow vertical spaces. Innersmile Kringel-Kari Notice Board is clever and creative and it would add some personality to any room. You can get it for $51 here. Innersmile Pillar Notice Board is nice too, but it's more simple. You can buy it for $28 here. Both of these are great for small offices and homes.

Cup Fruilad keeps your fruits and veggies fresh for longer

Cup_Fruilad.jpg
I've been accused of being a health freak from time to time and I'm proud of being one. I love living on fruits and salads. That's why the Cup Fruilad will be a big hit in my fridge. This convenient device keeps your fruit and salad fresh for a longer period of time. It features an intelligent refresher system that recognizes the food you put in, thus keeping it at an appropriate temperature to preserve its nutrition and freshness. It is powered by a USB source and has a very handy button that can make laser cuts to slice or peel the fruits and veggies in the pod.

Notepods for Apple fans

Notepods.jpg
Listen up Apple fans. If your range of iPods, iPhones, Macbooks don't satisfy you and you still want more, you should try these Notepods. If you have quick thoughts to pen down or some doodle-ing to do, there's nothing better than this. I'm not particularly a fan of Apple products, so this doesn't get me that excited.

Satisfy the vampire in you with this Blood Energy Potion Energy Drink

Blood_Energy_Drink.jpg
All of you people who are wannabe vampires, this Blood Energy Potion Energy Drink is more than perfect. I personally hate this IV bag that looks like it's full of blood. It disgusts me with its look and consistency of blood, but I'm sure it will satisfy anyone's inner vampire. It's quite healthy with iron, proteins and electrolytes to give you an energy boost for up to 4 hours. You can't get your hands on this drink till January 2010 though and it will cost you $192 for a 48 pack of these.

Piggy Bank plays the role of a boyfriend

Piggy_Bank.jpg
Everyone is trying to save those little bucks, but spending is so much better than saving. However, if you hand me a cute little piggy bank like Ikemen, then I'd feel obligated to use something so adorable. It's a heart-shaped electronic piggy bank with an LCD screen and every time you put your change in it, the dream boyfriend inside the piggy bank will start flattering you with sweet romantic phrases, compliments (You’re so beautiful", you’re the best) or even ask for kiss. So, if that doesn't get you to save a pretty penny, I don't know what will. It seems like a warped version of the Magic Mirror. Anyway, you need to feed your heart shaped boyfriend with a coin when he is hungry. Not a gold digger at all, is he? Once you have $500 saved up, you are given a happy ending. I like this world where a happy ending can be bought! The piggy bank is available for approximately $75.

Wear your feelings with the Emoticon Tee

Emoticon_Tee.jpg
We had once featured the Text Talk Pillows. Maybe to go with those, you need something with emoticons on it. The Emoticon shirt is perfect for that. I can't imagine anyone who uses a smiley after every sentence they type not liking it. The tee has four different emoticons that you can choose to illuminate depending on your mood or the message you wish to convey. You can pick between a happy face, a sad face, a winking face or a surprised face based on how you are feeling. For me, a Friday would definitely be a happy face and Monday would feature a sad face. There is a glow in the dark/UV reactive screen print that looks great. You simply need to press a button to change the emoticon. You can get it for $47 here.

RelationStick to monitor timeouts in tiffs

relationstick.jpg
If you have anger issues, there's no need to enroll into anger management classes. Simply get yourself a RelationStick. It is a de-escalation tool utilizing time-outs to teach individuals to monitor their own signs of escalating emotion and to interrupt the process that leads to anger. Sounds pretty good on paper, but will holding a stick keep you from turning into Hulk? I don't know seems like people might try to break it. The RelationStick negotiates space and timing during a timeout. The concept is okay, but we will never actually need to purchase the stick.
