Star Wars, Star Wars, Windshield Wiper Covers, Star Wars, Star Wars…

Posted on 17/12/2015 by David Ponce

When Disney bought Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise, we figured they’d recoup their investment quite fast. Considering the apparent fact that pretty much everything and anything is now a Star Wars product, we’re more than certain we were right. Consider these rear windshield wiper covers in the shape of a Lightsaber. They don’t actually do anything useful, like most other Star Wars merch, but if you’re somehow running out of ways to showcase your undying love for George’s little creation, you now have yet another item to add to your collection. They cost $15 and come in a variety of colors. The company, WiperTags, also makes a bunch of different non-Star-Wars rear windshield wiper covers, like daggers, swords, and chainsaws.

Of Course There’s a Napping Aid Shaped Sort Of Like A Hand

Posted on 07/12/2015 by David Ponce

chin_rest_1

Well, maybe calling it a ‘napping aid’ is a little much, since you’re unlikely to be able to actually sleep on this thing. You will however have both of your hands free to continue doing whatever it is you do at work, while a third, plastic hand holds your head up. Sure, The Chin Rest Arm is promoting somewhat of a slacker style of doing things, but you can convince yourself that it can help you improve your posture or has some other health benefits. It’s completely adjustable, attaches easily to a desk, and it has a soft, cushiony exterior for your comfort. It’s 4,980 yen (about US$40).

Posted on 23/11/2015 by David Ponce

planetary-paperweight

Are we talking about paperweights on OhGizmo!? Yes, yes we are. It’s not any ordinary paperweight though, but a Planetary Paperweight, not unlike the Planetary Lollipops or Planetary Glass Set we wrote about a while back. It’s a fun reminder that our little planet is nothing but a speck of dust in our vast universe, and a cool visual nod to the tiny neighbourhood of our galaxy we happen to inhabit. It’ll look great on the desk of any science-minded loved one in your life, and at $38, it makes a great stocking stuffer for the upcoming Holidays.

Pizza Wrapping Paper Is Perfect For The Holidays

Posted on 18/11/2015 by David Ponce

You spend a lot of time thinking about what gifts to buy your loved ones over the Holidays, but let’s face it, you usually just grab whatever wrapping paper they have at the local drug store and call it a day. Taking the time to select carefully shows that extra touch of care, and what better way to show your love than you have your presents wrapped in paper that looks exactly like NYC style pizza? The Gift Couture Pizza Wrapping Paper is a Kickstarter that pitches just that, a pizza-patterned wrapping paper made from 30% post-consumer waste, acid free and archival quality. A $20 pledge will get you 2 sheets of paper, 2 pizza boxes and 2 labels. The sheet measures 18″ by 24″, and the box is 6″ X 6″ X 1.75″.

Clip-On Man Bun

Posted on 13/11/2015 by David Ponce

clip-in-man-bun-1

So this exists. We suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Women have had fake boobs, fake butts, fake nails… Give us men a chance, right? Right? No, to be honest, this is an atrocity, yet it hasn’t stopped over 5,000 people from ordering them according to Groupon, the site they’re being sold on. Considering they’re $10, we suppose it’s just the kind of thing someone might order on a whim, to check it out, only to toss it in shame after a few seconds. At least we hope.

Keep An Emergency Slice Of Pizza Around Your Neck

Posted on 01/10/2015 by David Ponce

pizza-pouch

Oh, sure, this is a stupid product. It’s even sold by a store that goes by the name Stupidiotic! But hey, at least they take ownership of the stupidity of their products, and there’s something to be said about that kind of shameless confidence. The Pizza Pouch is, well, just a plastic pouch in which to store a single slice of pizza. There is a ziplock seal so the juices won’t flow out and the slice will remain… relatively fresh. And since you’ll be wearing a freakin pizza slice around your neck, you can expect to make a whole lot of friends, so you know, there’s that. It’s $8.

This Watch Will Light Your Cigarette

Posted on 14/09/2015 by David Ponce

usb-lighter-watch1

This is a bit of a novelty item, but for anyone who smokes, it’s also pretty cool. You’re looking at the Findtime Men Digital USB Lighter Watch. It’s a watch, and it’s also a lighter. Press a button and a coil heats up for long enough to light your cigarette. The rest of the time, well, it just does what a wristwatch does. Charging is done through USB. To further reflect the novelty status of this watch, it’s only $15.

Band-aids Look Like Flesh Wounds, Should Come In Different Skin Tones

Posted on 11/09/2015 by David Ponce

gross-bandaids-1

The Boo-Boos Adhesive Bandages are designed by one Sherwood Forlee, and they’re made to look like gnarly wounds. They come in five different ‘flavours’: (from the top) slashing sharp-force trauma (with sutures), chemical burn, skin ulcer with skin slip, decubitus ulcer with maggot infestation, and small caliber gunshot. They’re really tasteful and are likely to get you lots of genuine, non-disgusted compliments from your friends. That’s of course only if your skin tone manages to perfectly match the background color on these. If it doesn’t, then you’ll just look like you stuck a gross Bandaid on your skin.

$10 gets four of each design in 3″ x 0.75″ bandages.

Bacon Scarf Looks Delicious, Isn’t For Eating

Posted on 20/08/2015 by David Ponce

bacon-scarf-a-scarf-that-looks-exactly-like-delicious-bacon-0

We want to buy this. It’s a silk scarf made by Natalie Luder, a designer from Switzerland, and is called “Fou Lard Bacon Scarf” (“foulard” is the French word for scarf). It’s digitally printed, along with a black rolled hem, and measures 70.8 inches long x 13.7 inches wide. It looks so delicious, we could eat it. But we won’t.

We won’t even buy it.

Why? Well, because the darn thing is $170. Who on earth would ever pay $170 for a novelty silk scarf? Anyway… it’s nice to know it exists, we suppose.
