Brando has done a great job with their latest release of a USB Notebook Cooling Pad. They’re offering up a unique laptop cooler with USB Hub and HDD Slot built in. It measures 300mm x 252mm x 32mm and weighs 504grams. You can plug any 2.5″ SATA hard drive to extend your storage conveniently. Best of all it’s cheap. $33.
As a kid, I remember hating to play those pin art toys where you press anything until you come up with a design. I was pretty much paranoid about the word “pins” so sorry, I didn’t have fond childhood memories about that one. I don’t know, but this Pin Clock looks creepy. It has the ability to let the pins inform you of the time and to send shivers up your spine. It looks like it could be something Pin Face would want for Christmas though. $60.
Robots are getting more and more advanced today, but wouldn’t it be nice to have an old-school one? Don’t really get my drift? Here’s the Mickey Mouse Robot. Doesn’t the mere sight of it make you go “Awww”? Robot Mickey’s movements are limited, but he features a couple of touch and sound sensors. He can respond to simple commands, play games and even has the ability to get attached to you overtime. One catch, you’d have to learn Japanese though, because Mickey ain’t swinging in English. $221.
At last a solar-powered charger comes to market with its ability to restore your battery-emptied electronic devices without the aide of electricity. Recharging session via an AC adapter takes 3.5 hours, it takes 5 hours on a USB interface, or if you prefer to really save you can use the solar power but be patient because it will take 15 hours to fully-charge the battery. iCharge Eco has a solar panel and at the same time it is battery-operated. Colors available in black, white, silver, red, pink, blue, and green.
The Televoicer Portable Voice Changer straps to your phone and lets you prank your friends to oblivion. Sure it’ll sound cheesy, and yes they’ll rapidly figure out you’re a nerd to be avoided, but for a few hours you’ll really make an impression. It would definitely work well when you call in sick from work, don’t you think? Have a laugh, and get this doohickey for $20.
This watch features a unique cross hair red LED display with a stainless steel band and it includes a calendar function. The horizontal red line represents the hours and the vertical represents the minutes making it easier to kill some time. $180.
Does the child in you still like to put together model cars, airplanes and what not? Well, why not a camera? This is certainly unlike any other DIY project we have seen. This camera kit includes 33 individual pieces that do not require adhesive; they simply interlock and you have created a camera. Included diagrams are graphical, but any verbiage is in Japanese — just to give it that extra challenge. A fun and interesting product.
At $35, it’s a great gift for this holiday season.
