Doctor Who Cell Phone Alert Charms
If there is one thing the Doctor hates, it's missing a call on his cell phone. And sometimes, he's in a place where he has to be very quiet and sneak about so he doesn't get seen. Lucky for him, then, that whilst traveling the universe he found a little shop selling baby Daleks and Cybermen - really tiny, pocket-sized Daleks and Cybermen. They were too small to cause any harm, but they did have one curious feature. When exposed to certain frequencies, they would spin in a circle and cause random lights to flash. The good Doctor knew he had a powerful tool at his disposal so he bought a ton of the little creatures and disappeared into his workshop. When he emerged, he had invented the Dalek Cell Phone Alert Charm. Later, by popular demand of folks who were a little creeped out by Daleks and Cybermen, he used the same technology to reproduce his trusty vehicle, the TARDIS. Just hang one off your jacket, computer bag, navel ring, etc., and any time you get a call on your cell phone, your very own Dalek, Cyberman, or TARDIS will spin around and little lights will flash near its base. It's just that simple. So, anytime you have to leave your cell phone on "silent," just watch your charm to see if you have an incoming call. 'But hey,' you are wondering, 'Didn't you just say the Doctor invented these things? Then how did ThinkGeek get them to sell to me?' Let's just say we have friends all over the universe...

Portal iPhone Skins
Portal fans are so crazy about the companion cube. After carrying it around, loving it, and then having to burninate it, you get attached. But we don't see you carrying a plush companion cube around now, do we? Nope. In fact, we'll bet that there's an iPhone within reach. We'll bet you love your iPhone more than the companion cube and that if you were asked to burninate your iPhone you'd have some strong words to say about it. Thus, we are renaming the iPhone the companion slab. Protect your companion slab with one of these Gelaskins from Valve. The skin will hug your companion slab gently and provide protection from all the bumps and scratches of everyday life. A mandatory accessory for anyone who loves Aperture Labs, hates Black Mesa, or just likes cake. Mmmm... cake. (Cake is the only thing that matters.)
Bi-Color LED Blow On-Off Candles
Lasers and super-bright flashlights are quite prevalent sources of illumination in science fiction. But fantasy has always chosen a more classical approach to light. Torches and magical fireballs and candles are what dispel the shadows and blackness of the night. Candles light Great Halls in schools of magical learning; they burn bright in the chambers of Elven Kings; they even sit on the birthday cakes of Norse Gods (or so Dirk Gently tells us). But candles can be dangerous ("Fire bad" and all that), so we've stirred a mix of science fiction into our candles of fantasy and these awesome LED candles are the result. The LED Blow On-Off Candles are solid wax (except for some electronics) and feature a natural-looking, flickering light just like normal candles, but they have a couple of extra techno enhanced powers. Regular candles will blow out if you blow on the flame, but these LED candles will also blow on. All you have to do is use the master on/off switch on the bottom, and these candles will turn on and off with just a puff at the "flame". Even better, each candle has a switch to select either a cool blue flame, or a more realistic yellowish flame. From the proper distance and height, these candles will fool everyone into thinking they are the real thing; they are a fantastic way to put candles where it is too dangerous to have open flames. And, they won't drip wax all over your mithril armor either. Candles are approx. 3" in diameter (4" or 6" tall, your choice). The 4" candle uses button type batteries (included. plus we give you an extra set to be nice) while the 6" candle takes 3 AAA batteries (not included). The candles will "burn" for 300 hours on a single set of batteries. Please Note: The 4" candle features a pushbutton on the bottom to change from blue to natural yellow color, while the 6" candle has a three position switch (left = blue color, center = off, right = natural yellow color).

Relativity Watch
We enjoy being smart masses. We got it from our GeekDads, you see. When we asked, "Dad, what time is it?" we got such stellar answers as: "Time for you to go to bed." "It's about that time." "Half past an arm hair." "Time for you to stop asking questions." "How should I know? The clock is in the kitchen." ...and since it seems the younger generation has lost the ability to read analog watches, we thought this watch would be the ultimate way to mess with our younger friends. You see, the hands of this watch tell the time, but the face doesn't. The numbers are melty, much like your concept of time. In 30 seconds, the 3 becomes a 9, or the 11 becomes a 5. (You may or may not be able to convince your boss to let you out of work early.) Product Specifications Numbers on the watch face rotate each second In 30 seconds, 3 becomes 9! Great for people who can't really tell time anyway Also great for time travelers (since a regular watch is useless) Japan quartz movement Black band
Bluetooth Watch with Caller ID Display
See who is calling or mute your phone's ringer! Laziness is a virtue and something we aspire to whenever possible. Repetitive and demanding tasks that require a lot of work should be avoided at all costs. Instead, laziness should be inserted in the form of a program, or device, that performs the repetitive task for you. Sure, you could look at your cell phone to see who is calling or push a button to mute the ringer and let them go to voicemail. But, instead, we think you should be as lazy as possible and use our Bluetooth Watch with Caller ID Display for these tasks. This watch keeps you connected in style by combining a vintage analog/digital watch design with Bluetooth Wireless technology. It notifies you when your phone rings with a discreet vibrating sensation and showing the caller's name and/or number on the bright OLED display. When an SMS/text message is received the watch will vibrate and the text alert icon will appear. You can mute your phone's ringer or reject a call by simply pushing a button on the watch.
Inka Pen Travel Pen
In the office, many people steal from you. They take your ideas, they take your lunch, and most annoyingly, they take your pens. Well, it's time to draw a line in the carpet. Time to stand up and say, "I will never be without a pen again." Time to get yourself an Inka Pen. The Inka Pen stores in its stainless steel case as a harmless looking keychain fob. A quick pull, and out pops the carbon fiber pen with its pressurized ink cartridge. Because it is pressurized, you can write at any angle, at any altitude, even underwater! And if you're going to be writing for some time, you can unscrew the stainless steel fob and reconfigure your pen into Full-Size mode (that means it is, well, full size). There's even a hidden stylus! The Inka Pen is the ultimate in portable writing. Couple it with some Mini Moleskine Notebooks and you'll have all you need to jot down all your thoughts when you are on the go (or on the run or on the lam). Now Available: Inka Pen Refill! Each refill is just as pressurized as your original pen and is blue ink.
"Wire Glue" Conductive Glue
Carbon is one of our favorite elements. It makes diamonds, it makes all known life possible, and it makes pencils (and who doesn't love pencils?) Also, it seems that carbon fullerenes (buckeyballs, nanotubes, etc) are going to do a lot in our future. Time to bring a little of that microcarbon goodness into your home and make it work for you now. "Wire Glue" Conductive Glue uses microcarbon technology to make a glue that also conducts electricity. That's right - no need for solder anymore; now you have Wire Glue! It acts like a glue, it acts like a wire, it tastes like . . . just kidding - don't eat it, and it's stupendously-awesome-incredible. Put simply, it sticks bits together and allows electricity to flow between them. Wire Glue is great for repairing wires, gluing together electronic kits, and really, is a great safe (i.e. no heat) way of introducing children to electrical engineering. Get some now, and get in on the microcarbon revolution early. "Wire Glue" Conductive Glue Using the latest advances in microcarbon technology, this glue actually conducts electricity. Lead free.

Doctor Who 11th Doctor's Diecast Sonic Screwdriver... Screwdriver
Collectibles look cool, but let's face it, that's about all they do. What about the Whovians who prefer not to clutter their TARDIS with mostly-useless things? It may be bigger on the inside, but you don't have to fill all the space! Gotta leave room for the energies to flow. It's all feng shui and stuff. That's why we just had to snatch up a bunch of these Diecast Sonic Screwdrivers. They have the beauty of a collectible with a very realistic twist. The Diecast Sonic Screwdriver is a real screwdriver. Open the chamber in the base, select your tip, and get all DIY on your household chores. Three tips are included for large, medium, and small screws, with each tip reversible for Phillips or flat-head ends.

Blue Violet Laser Pointer
A new laser color has just landed at ThinkGeek and we like what we see. Red and even green lasers are now fairly common but blue lasers not so much. So, if you want to have the latest fashionably cool laser color this year, we've got you covered. This laser outputs light in the 405 nanometer wavelength which produces a very unique blue-violet color beam, that is unusual for a handheld pointer. This is also the same wavelength used in Blu-ray DVD players. The shorter wavelength allows more data to be stored than on a standard DVD which uses a red laser (650 nanometer). This laser is certainly awesome but it's also useful for applications such as biomedical instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, laser induced fluorescence sensing, microscopy. And if you're not into any of those activities, then this laser can be used to write on photoluminescent material like our Glow Graffiti.
Grassy Lawn Charging Station
If you're a true geek, every type of portable device on the planet is probably vying for the valuable electricity at your home. Unfortunately all those gadgets make a big mess with their power adapters and cables while they suck up life-giving electrical juice. Now you can hide that charging cable disaster with scenic grass. The Grassy Lawn Charging Station provides you with realistic artificial grass to cushion your gadgets while they charge. A compartment underneath hides all of the power adapters and cables. Simply run a standard extension cable into the bottom of the base, plug in all your power adapters, then snake the charging cables up through the grass. Voila! Your gadgets will think they're on a charging vacation.
Casio Classic Calculator Watch
This style of watch has been around as long as many of us have. But that doesn't mean it's old or dated or useless. NAY! We say that it's just as useful today as it was back in 1975. Where did we find the first ad for a calculator watch? Playboy, of all places. (Seriously, we were there for the advertisements!) The CALCRON was ahead of its time with its solar power, LED screen, and ability to do math right on your wrist. It was soon followed by a calculator watch by an obscure company called Uranus. (We REALLY wish we were joking!) Casio's Classic Calculator watch is a splash-resistant, multifunction watch with integrated calculator touchpad. It's sporty and casual, so it'll go with what we're pretty sure you're wearing right now. It has flexible stopwatch functions with 1/100th second increments and split time. Use it to set your daily alarm, or to beep every hour to remind you time is passing. The Casio Classic Calculator watch will display time in 12 or 24 hour modes, so you military or Euro-folks can have a familiar face. (Get it, face? Ugh, that was awful.) Most importantly, the auto calendar will work until the year 2079, when we will SURELY have our flying cars. Product Specifications Sporty, casual watch with a built-in 8-digit calculator with Touchpad Splash resistant, no need to fear rain or hand-washing Flexible stopwatch functions with 1/100th second increments and split time Single and dual time modes Daily Alarm Hourly time signals (on/off) Auto calendar to year 2079 12/24 hour display modes Uses CR2016 Battery (included) Black with black plastic band
ScanGauge II Automotive Computer
New model is more compact with a larger display and backlight colors! As a general rule geeks like to have access to as much data and statistics as possible. We pretty much figure this applies to a geek's motor vehicle as well. So, to allow you to access extra information about your car we would like to introduce the ScanGauge II Automotive Computer. This gadget is easy to install and provides a set of digital gauges, a comprehensive trip computer, and an engine trouble code scan tool. The digital gauges mode displays four different properties on the screen (for example, fuel economy, battery voltage, coolant temperature, and engine speed). The trip computer tracks your vehicle's maximum speed, average speed, driving time, driving distance, trip fuel economy and several other pieces of trip data. The engine trouble code scan tool lets you read standard engine trouble codes as well as clear the "check engine" light and other warning lamps. The ScanGauge II is simple to use and install and mounts in, on or below the dash. It plugs into the diagnostic OBD-II connector found under the dash on 1996 and newer cars and light trucks. The functions are accessed via a simple on-screen menu interface. There is an automatic delayed power-down after engine shutoff and automatic power-up when engine is started. User and vehicle settings are automatically saved. Also has these features.
Ethernet Loopback Jack
Have you ever needed to quickly check a network cable for continuity? Locate which switch port corresponds with a particular wall jack? Wanted something on your keyring that shows your geek status? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then you need the Ethernet Loopback Jack. The Ethernet Loopty what? It's a small RJ-45 modular plug like you'd find in a wall jack. You can connect one end of a network cable to a switch port and the other end to the loopback jack, and if the RX/TX pairs in the cable are good you'll get a link light on the switch. So, this gives you a quick and easy way to test network cabling. You can also take the loopback jack to a wall outlet and when it's connected the corresponding link light on the switch will come on. This allows you to easily match-up a wall jack with a switch port back in the server room. The loopback jack has these fine features.
Staple Free Stapler
Staples have become a scourge to the office environment. Those shiny metal wires have jammed in thumbs, caught on sweaters, and torn papers. The horrors are just too numerous to mention. Recently, at ThinkGeek World Domination Headquarters, an entire afternoon was spent watching a government mandated corporate safety video that showed, in excruciating slo-motion Tarantinoesque detail, just how terrible accidents with staples can be. ThinkGeek employees, however, rolled their eyes... for they had converted to an entirely staple free environment. We found in our travels a device that staples papers together - without staples! Oh, we're not crazy, this thing is real. This handy (and might we add - environmentally friendly) device cuts a tiny flap in the corner of your paper, and folds it in on itself, tucked in a tiny paper pocket. Sleek, small, and coming in chaotic-evil black, deep blue, and smokey "clear", the Staple Free Stapler can clip together up to five sheets with ease.

KGB Disappearing Ink Pen
Rule one of being a spy is never letting anyone know you are a spy. And part of that is never leaving evidence or incriminating documents behind. It sounds hard, but not if you have the right tools. And we're here to help you collect the right tools. With the KGB Disappearing Ink Pen, you'll never leave a speck of your handwriting ever again - because the ink in this pen will vanish without a trace. You've probably seen "disappearing ink pens" before, but you ain't seen nothing like the KGB Disappearing Ink Pen. This pen features a special gel ink developed by real KGB scientists during the Cold War (and made in Russia), that disappears completely. Because it is a gel pen, you don't need to press hard which prevents paper indenting. You'll notice the ink fading within a matter of minutes - and it will be completely gone within 48 hours. And not just faded - gone! Even UV scanners won't be able to detect that anything was ever written with the KGB Disappearing Ink Pen. Spies need the best (you need the best), and the KGB Disappearing Ink Pen is the best there is. Please Note: This is not a cheapo invisible ink sort of pen. This is real KGB science. Once the ink disappears, nothing will be able to tell there was ever writing on the paper. Nothing.
FlipIt! Portable Power Strip
You're about to catch your interplanetary transport to Phloston Paradise when you go through your packing list: Multipass? Check. Book of matches? Check. ZF-1 with titanium recharger, rocket launcher, arrow launcher with explosive poisonous gas heads, net launcher, flame thrower and ice-cube system. Check. You need to be prepared when you travel. Speaking of being prepared, how are you going to charge your brand new gun? Plug it into the wall? Hold on right there - for all it's beauty and beaches, Phloston's hotel rooms have only a few outlets, and their power system is notoriously unstable. One tiny power surge, and your ZF-1's little red button could go... well, let's just say it'd be bad. Good thing you remembered to pack a portable power strip. This one not only includes three US 110v grounded plugs, and two USB charging ports, but it will also protect your power-hungry gadgets from a 612 Joule electrical jolt! Normally, you'd need a surge strip three times the size to get that kind of protection, and you just don't have that kind of room in your travel bags. As compact as the ZF-1 is, there's not much room for sundries. So next time you find yourself crossing the frontier of the Federated Territories, make sure you bring some protection with you. A gun could also help. Also a multipass. Features Provides 3 surge-protected outlets and 2 USB ports Charge an array of portable devices, including the iPhone and iPad Power plug flips down for easy travel Measures Approx. 2.25"L x 1.63"W x4.25"H Protects up to 612 Joules Manufacturer warranties connected electronics for up to $30,000 in damages 2 USB Ports are 5V / 750 mA (1.5 Amps Total)
RFID Blocking Wallet
There's some seriously scary stuff out there in the world -- from bird flu and terrorism to depleting our planet of natural resources. There's not a lot that the average person can do about much of the things that may keep us up at night. Luckily, there's one scary prospect on the horizon that we can help with -- and it doesn't require lining your pants with aluminum foil! Aren't you lucky? Imagine if you will, some of these possible real-life scenarios: A shadowy character crouches unseen in the bushes. He doesn't have a gun or a knife, but he has a laptop. He watches as his prey walks by. Invisible radio waves emitting from the credit-card in his wallet get picked up by the laptop, recorded, and saved onto a cloned card. For all intents and purposes, this man becomes you, and has decided to go shopping. Or maybe he picked up the passkey that lets you into your office building. With ease, he can now walk into your secure office building and steal your company's equipment. The next morning, security guards are waiting in your cube to have a chat. The nightmare scenario was brought forth recently - a bomb lies waiting in a garbage can. Sensitive electronics read the identification cards and passports of the people who walk by, waiting until somebody of your nationality comes close... It's a scary world out there. Credit card companies and governments are putting RFID chips in your cards and identification, sometimes without your knowledge. Protect yourself and your money with a wallet that specifically inhibits those radio frequencies from escaping until you pull your card out. Did we mention you don't need to put foil in your pants? It's important to us that you know that you do NOT have to put foil in your pants. Very important. No foil. In your pants... none... zip... nada. The DIFRwearR RFID Blocking Wallet is a high-quality leather billfold with a built in Faraday cage to block RFID transmissions. It has room for six credit cards, your cash, business cards and your ID. Don't get caught unprotected.

Switch Modular Pocket Knife
Pocket knives are handy, but have you ever noticed that even if you have a 9999-function knife, you only use a small percentage of the tools available to you? It sucks to have to upgrade to a more expensive knife to get one tool you need and five that you didn't. This is especially annoying to those of us who try to travel light (the better to run from dragons). Switch is the ultimate modular pocketknife, with 17 different attachments so you can mix and match your most frequently used tools. Want your Switch to be a handyman tool for things around the house? Done. How about one that fixes computers at work? Done. One that has all of your outdoorsy needs? Done. Switch your Switch at will to be whatever you want it to be. It's your tool, your way. A special bonus you'll want to consider: No more leaving your pocket tool behind when you fly! Just take out the TSA-offensive tools and keep the rest!

Closed-Hood Car Jump Starter
A dead car battery risks raising the ire of any tech savvy geek. It always seems to come at the worst possible time. Yes, jump-starting a car is an easy enough task but it does require finding a friend with a running vehicle and mucking about under the hood of two cars with sparking jumper cables. Well now you can start a car with a dead battery the gentleman's way using the Closed-Hood Car Jump Starter. Exactly as the name implies you can start a car with nary a glance under the hood. Just find a friend with a running vehicle and connect your annoyingly dead car to the running car using the cigarette lighter outlets via the Car Jump Starter. Chill for 5-10 minutes and ponder how you could have been mucking about under the hood. When the light on the Closed-Hood Car Jump Starter turns green go ahead and start your car up. Yep, no muss, no fuss. Gift one to your non-geek friends and relatives and they'll surely thank you.
Reveal Watch
As geeks, it seems we're either looking to the scientific wonders of The Future or we're knee deep in The Past with our noses in history books or donning our chainmail for some medieval battle action. This watch reminds you to stay in the Now, the era of "There's an app for that." The Future will reveal itself to you bit by bit as The Past fades away. Computer graphics pioneer Daniel Will-Harris designed this watch as part of the Projects series, in which architects and designers were commissioned to craft unique timepieces. The Reveal Watch is the only analog watch to read in a digital manner. Truly unique in its display of time, the minutes and hours fade in and out as time passes. The plain black design matches everything you own, and even though the face is a bit bigger than a traditional ladies' watch, it's definitely a unisex watch suitable for geeks of either gender!
Planisphere Watch
Astronomers (or wanna be astronomers) please pay attention. That is, put your attention for a moment on this watch that can help chart the night sky. The Planisphere Watch displays the constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Simply align the date and time (displayed on the edge of the bezel) and you can view the major constellations visible that evening. This watch features a durable brass case, scratch resistant crystal dome lens, Japanese quartz movement and a "Super Luminescent" dial that glows for 2 to 3 hours (so you can easily read it in the dark without a flashlight or LED). Also has these great features.
Laser Stars Projector
Caution: This product is more amazing in real life than on a two dimensional website As you should well know here at ThinkGeek we are constantly striving to find tools for you, our loyal customers, to aid in your quest for World Domination. But we also want to encourage you to come up with schemes to conquer the entire Universe (and any parallel universes you might stumble across while conquering this one). And to properly conquer the known Universe, you'll need a a nice reliable star map. The Laser Stars Projector is not that map, but it sure does seem like one. And the second most important thing a Universe conqueror might do besides conquering Universes is seeming to conquer Universes. Keeps you buttered up for the real thing. Ok, carrying on then... When you turn off your lights and turn this unit on - trust us - you will be bamboozled with star rapture. That's the only way we can describe it. Everybody who has seen the Laser Stars Projector in action at the ThinkGeek headquarters has at least one 'Oh My Gods, that's Frakking brilliant!' moment. But ThinkGeek, what IS the Laser Stars Projector really? It's a unit about 10inches tall that projects a combination of green laser stars and blue (slightly ultraviolet-ish blue) clouds onto your ceiling, walls, pets, etc. Both the clouds and the stars are constantly moving and morphing, just like a proper Universe should. And there are literally thousands of green laser stars to look at. There are two ways you can adjust your Laser Stars Projector, first you can pivot the projector itself 180 degrees horizontally around the base so that you can control *where* it is projecting in your room. It can literally fill up an entire ceiling and portions of several walls at once. And the other thing you can adjust is the intensity of the blue gaseous clouds, from zero to full intensity. ThinkGeek, I'm a techie. How does it really work? The Laser Stars Projector utilizes a state of the art Diode Pumped, Solid State (DPSS) green laser combined with custom developed multiphase diffractive holographic optics, super luminous diodes and precision motors to produce the laser stars effect. The coherent light produced by the DPSS laser passes through a passive diffractive holographic optical element, which in turn passes through a circular periodicity electromechanical wheel, which is driven by a precision motor to create the soothing motion of the star field. So there. Hurry, get one before your friends do. Then plug it in, turn it on, and tune out... Features: Uses Green Laser and Holographic technology 2 built-in precision glass lenses Creates thousands of stars with or without blue cloud formations Ac Adapter Included (US Only - 120V) Unit Dimensions: 10" tall x 9" wide x 7" deep Please note: It's difficult to portray what the Laser Stars Projector projects here in images because it works best in the dark. The images tend to mute the green stars and exaggerate the blue clouds a bit. But we've tried our b...
iPlunge Phone Stand
Ladies and Gentlebeings, the future has arrived! Convergence is here, and with it brings phones with TVs in them, internet enabled personal devices, two-way video conferencing in your pocket, and yes, portable pr0n. Take the good with the bad, right? Now that we’ve conveniently placed all this passive entertainment at our fingertips, do we really need our fingertips to be constantly engaged in manipulating said entertainment? What we mean is, why are we forced to hold our phones while we use them? Why not put it down and eat your popcorn, like you would in any movie theater? See, your phone, while awesomely connected, isn’t the same as a TV. A TV sits serenely in some corner of your house, at just the right angle for best reproduction of picture with a minimum of glare. Your phone, if it were to take the place of your TV, would have to be held up between 30 and 45 degrees off a flat surface for optimum viewage, and that requires something to hold it up. You can try to prop it up with something, but that’s awkward and prone to failure. Cases can be so bulky, and goes against the slim sleek design aesthetic you’ve grown accustomed to. What you need, my friend, is a plunger. You heard right - a plunger! About two inches long, the iPlunge attaches firmly to the back of your shiny glossy i-device, and the wooden tail props itself up at just the right angle. Not only are you able to, hands-free, enjoy your favorite shows, but you do so with just about the coolest and most ironic propping device around. Throw those other stands and cases in the toilet*, and get an iPlunge instead! *ThinkGeek recommends not throwing bulky non-degradable items into municipal plumbing systems as it could cause clogs, water damage, and angry homeowners.
Kiwi Wifi iPhone Car Diagnostic Kit
If you're not a car geek, the light that says "CHECK ENGINE" might as well say "PC LOAD LETTER." Sure, we can open the hood and verify that indeed, the engine is still present, but beyond that, we're a little lost. Best we can do is drive it to the garage and hope that we don't get totally bamboozled by the mechanic again. We already bought the anti-unicorn disinfectant treatment once! It's supposed to protect the air filter from glitter for life, right? The Kiwi Wifi is a plug and play wireless device that connects to your car's OBDII port (right below the steering wheel). Kiwi Wifi comes attached with a 6 ft OBDII cable for easy installation. It also comes with a power switch built-in to prevent the need for having to constantly disconnect your unit from the OBDII port. You can use it in any vehicle born in 1996 or later, whether it's a sedan, truck, SUV, or even a hybrid. Once the device is connected, you can download one of two recommended car diagnostics apps from the App Store and begin to monitor all sorts of stats about your car. Next time you go into the mechanic, you'll avoid the unicorn charge. That's for sure!
Tengu
There is a philosophy in Japan with regards to electronics that a new bit of gadgetry doesn't exactly have to be practical to be useful. One only has to look at their total embrace of household robotics to see the truth of it. Their approach to gadgetry is to develop the product first, then create the need for it. For example - here we have a cute little white plastic brick with a face made of LEDs. The tiny microphone in the base picks up sounds in the room, whether it's music, or your loudmouth boss, and makes his mouth move in time. It's like he's lip synching to the song! Kinda like Britney, only much much smaller, and probably smells better. He's USB powered, so plug him in to any powered USB port, set him near your favorite sound-source, and your little buddy will perform for you all day long!
USB Hidden Flash Drive Watch
Small USB flash drive fits completely inside of the watch! Since you are probably the clever type, we suspect you could easily find many places to hide a small USB flash drive. Some of these hiding spots may be perfectly legit, but others might just be too clever for your own good. So, to protect you from yourself we'd like to introduce a watch with the ideal hiding spot already built-in. This watch features an ample 8GB capacity USB flash drive that slips neatly into the watch case. Simply remove, add data and then re-insert and you're ready to conduct secret missions to building B on the other side of campus. This watch has a plastic case covered by stainless steel mask with brushed silver finish and convex mineral glass with shiny raised index. The USB flash drive fits flush with the watch case - ready to hold your data safe and secure. You may even forget it's there until you're ready to use it.
Ultimate Survival Kit in a Water Bottle
According to the folks who build those awesome rovers that drive around on Mars, water is a pretty essential element for the existence of life. Liquid water is an especially important form necessary to support life, and fortunately for us, we have plenty of that here on Earth. Most other places in our solar system the water is all locked up as ice. The Ultimate Survival Kit in a Water Bottle doesn't contain any liquid water (but of course you can easily add your own) but that doesn't mean it cannot help support life. What is does contain could help with your survival while you roam around the surface of our planet in search of outdoor adventures. Comes packaged as a 32 oz (1 liter) water bottle containing the following supplies.

Tiny USB Car Power Adapter
One of the best things about technology is watching new devices shrink in size as time goes on. Remember how big cell phones were back in their infancy? They were practically bricks and could only barely make phone calls. Now we have phones that are handheld computers and cameras, and handheld computers and cameras that occasionally make phone calls when the stars align. *cough* ANYHOO, one such device that is finally shrinking to a manageable size is the car power adapter. Say goodbye to the clunky chunks of plastic and metal that blocked the driver's side cup holder! The Tiny USB Car Power Adapter fits snugly into the cigarette lighter, jutting out just enough for you to be able to pull it out. But you won't want to do that! You'll be thrilled to have a charger that you can use to power up your phone or phone-like device, mp3 player, or other electronic wonders. You'll be even more thrilled that you can still fit your giant +32oz Vessel of Caffeine into your cup holder for those long drives. Perfection.
Micro-Max 19-in-1 Multi-tool

It is precision crafted from solid stainless steel and features a quick release mechanism that locks onto any keyring. So convenient you'll forget you're carrying it until you need it.
Mug Boss
Let's get serious for a moment: mugs are essential office gear. They also seem to accumulate from every direction. You get them from co-workers, from spouses, from children, from parents, from friends, from people who want to sell you toner, from . . . you get the idea. But you don't *really* enjoy those mugs, do you? You bought your own mug, your mug, which is your pride and joy. Your precious. What to do with those other mugs then? Do the same thing men in black do with alien remnants - cover 'em up with Mug Boss! Slap a Mug Boss around your least favorite mug and it's now a mega-strong receptacle for all your desk gear. Made with the same tough construction and materials as its larger contractor-grade cousin the Bucket Boss, the brawny Mug Boss is ready to be used and abused. It has twelve durable pockets which can hold almost anything (pens, screwdrivers, laser pointers, paper clips, Bawls Mints, ad infinitum). Larger items can go directly into the mug itself. To top it off, a hook and loop closure holds the whole thing secure (it fastens through the mug handle). Buy it, use it, love it - just please don't call it an “office tool.”
