Isn’t this a hoot - the Waterproof Vibrating Love Pillow says it all. It not only doubles up as a contoured pillow for you to help you get enough rest even in uncomfortable conditions, while there is a slot within that holds a vibrating stick of some kind. Of course, you can remove the vibrating stick to provide your neck and thigh with a soothing massage, although I strongly believe that most people would be more than inclined to use it elsewhere instead. No idea on how much this will cost though, but I wouldn’t want to share this pillow with anyone else due to the more intimate association with it.

Do you have a dark and creepy basement, too much money and stupid friends?! Well then this is the chair for you! This chair doesn’t just look menacing, it actually will give you a bit of a shock. Which is the reason there are little straps for your legs. The site claims that there is little or no risk involved. However, those with pace makers and/or a brain might not want to push their luck on this one. I keep hoping that the whole thing is a simulation, but there is no way to actually confirm that on their site.

Powerstrips aren’t exactly the most exciting of electronic devices. However, on occasion someone decides to be a little creative with the boring powerstrips. It also looks a bit like a D20 (even if it is a bit short on sides), which shows a bit of love for your D&D days, as well as the rest of the geeky games that involve dice. Even if your back in the day gaming was just last week. I know, it’s hard to get through those long work weeks to get to your weekend round of Magic.

Apparently I’m on a disinfecting kick today, because this is the 2nd one of the day.  This time though it’s actually sold in the US and it’s a case that not only carries your toothbrush, but disinfects it as well.  Which is great for when it is at home, just purely because of the bacteria in the air in the bathroom.  It would also be nice for travelers since research has shown that those that stay in hotel rooms go home with germs and tend to get a cold or the flu.

Every time I see an oxygen bar I’m always picturing President Skroob sucking air out of a can and claiming there is no air shortage to the public.  If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well then, you’re disowned.  Well, okay I suppose as long as you promise to redeem yourself and go rent Spaceballs.  This oxygen bar at least has more perks than a simple can of air, but in my head it’s pretty much the same principle either way except with one extra difference.  This one is to feel relaxed and in Spaceballs it was because they were running out of air.

It’s official. The world is gizmo-gadget obsessed. Even in gambling. I reckon it stands to reason that if you grow up in the digital age where everything is virtual and everyone has a password like they have a cellphone, it only stands to reason that, like newspapers before them, poker tables are rapidly going the way of the doo-doo. The Pokermate Table not only gives players touchscreen interfaces to use for game play and betting, it’s also yet another guard against card counters who seek a legal, but wholely frowned upon gaming advantage.

When I walk out for a smoke and a spot of air in the evening (Yes, it’s sort of oxymoronic. Gimme a break.), I have a nasty habit of leaving my door wide open. At night, tons of flying insects are drawn towards the light, attracting mosquitoes and moths galore into my home.

When I step inside and lay down in bed, the insects remain. And I must have some really sweet blood because mosquitoes just can’t resist feasting on me. I’d light up one of those bug repellent candles, but the fumes would no doubt keep me up, let alone destroy my beloved brain cells. The Riddex Bug Repellent Nightlight is a fume-free method for keeping bugs away from you while you sleep.

The great thing about Riddex is that it’s not only effective with insects, but also keeps rats, mice, and roaches away, great for run down apartment buildings. The Riddex device turns up to 2000 square feet of your home into an invisiable pest fence using your home’s wiring.
