MoPod Phone Charms

MoPod Phone CharmsTime to give your phone a friend…or maybe somebody else’s phone! These little dudes are kind of cool. As you can see in the little picture there, the MoPod critters start spinning when they are within a meter of a phone receiving a call or text message.

I’m not sure how they work, but if this is hung on the outside of your bag, and your phone is left on silent, this little guy will help you see the call coming in. How handy! There are at least 7 of these guys to choose from, including a penguin and a monkey!

Spin a phone critter here.

Carabiner Mug

Carabiner MugGet that hiker friend of yours the perfect piece of useful flair for his or her backpack. It’s really a simple, yet perfectly executed.

This carabiner mug isn’t only practical and totally awesome, but well insulated as well! The mug itself is double-walled to keep that warm drink warm or the cold one nice and chilly. They’re pretty cheap too, so get one for everybody in the crew. Good times, good times.

Hang your drink here.

PANIC Button

PANIC ButtonJust what everybody needs at work, a panic button! Slap this puppy on your keyboard and have some fun with your fellow employees.

The button doesn’t do anything of course, and I’m not sure if it even depresses at all, but boy it sure looks good! One tip in the comments on the product’s page is that it’s not too great of an idea to put it on a laptop computer…it won’t shut thereafter.

Need to get a cheap gift for everybody in the office? Give them a bag of panic buttons!

Hit that panic button here.

Chicks Dig You Cereal Bowl

Chicks Dig You Cereal BowlThere’s nothing quite like a good morning affirmation. This is pretty awesome. The rim of the bowl has some good stuff, but the “Chicks dig you” in the bottom of the bowl tops them all. It reminds me of Gheorghe Muresan in his commercial for cabbage cologne: “Chicks dig it!”

So this is just a funny little gift idea to get for some guy who needs a little extra confidence boost with his bowl of fruity pebbles.

Nanotechnology is Huge T-Shirt

Nanotechnology is Huge T-ShirtSeeing how nanotechnology is all the rage at the moment, this shirt is full of wit and humor! See, it’s a pun, therefore, it’s “punny.”

See how it works is, nanotechnology is using super tiny microscopic things to do cool stuff. So really, it’s tiny, but since it’s so popular, it’s huge. Get it? Yeah?

Put a pun on somebody here.

Bittersweets

BittersweetsTired of the same old little Valentine’s Day chalky hearts? Well these are the same antacid type of treat, but they have much different messages on them than the usual.

The three tins to choose from are Dejected, Dysfunctional, and Dumped. This picture gives a little peek at what to expect from these. Clicking through will give you the entire list of every inscription on these hearts. Have some fun giving out downer hearts this year!

Valentine’s downers here.

Valentine Snack Gift Pack

Valentine Snack Gift PackNuts, crackers, cheese, and meat. What else do you need in any gift basket? Well, how about a stainless steel cleaver? Now it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!

This is the first gift basket I’ve seen that includes any type of cutting utensil, and they don’t mess around, they include a nice meat cleaver, which is awesome. It’s pretty inexpensive too, so there really isn’t any reason why everybody shouldn’t have their own meat cleaver and heart shaped block of cheddar cheese. The other things in there are whole cashews, garlic herb crackers, and beef sausage. Good stuff.

Cut your way into your Valentine’s heart here.

One Pound Chocolate Heart

One Pound Chocolate HeartHere’s a weird and kind of creepy Valentine’s Day gift idea. It’s a chocolate replica of a human heart that weighs an entire pound! That picture makes it look even more creepy than it probably is I’m guessing.

This might be a good gift idea for a medical student or professional I’d imagine. I think some people would really get a kick out of it while others might kick you if you gave it to them for Valentine’s Day. Either way, this is one of the most original ideas I’ve seen. It would be awesome if it was filled with some raspberry sauce or something that made it look like it was bleeding when it got bitten into. Ew!

Give somebody a bigger heart here.
