This is one of those gadgets that my 9 year old daughter would absolutely love (and I wouldn’t borrow), the Girl Tech Digi Makeover, a way to test how make up looks on your face on your TV.

To use you take a photo of your face using the built-in digital camera, connect it to the TV and then try out different hair and make up styles to see which suits you best (or to see how stupid you’d look in Goth make up and pic tails (if you’re a Goth with pig tails reading this then I’m sorry about that)).

If I was the kind of person that starts my Christmas shopping early this would be on order now but as I’m not I’ll just wait for the Christmas eve jostle. You can get the Girl Tech Digi Makeover in the UK from Argos for £59.99.

Everyone knows what fish lazing around inside fish bowl looks like, but how many of you have actually laid eyes on fish swimming inside a tea cup? Why not make that piece of imagination come true by picking up the Teacup Fish Bowl? This unique ‘aquarium’, if I may have the liberty of calling it so, is shaped after the traditional teacup albeit in a much bigger proportion. The inclusion of a handle definitely adds a nice touch to the setup, giving fish lovers yet another choice when it comes to choosing the proper home for their finned friends.

We here at Coolest Gadgets are a fun bunch, and part of that can be attributed to our healthy diet of beer and more beer. The nectar of the gods is definitely one of the best inventions since sliced bread and the wheel, offering a respite from the harsh world we live in if but for a moment. Of course, there is nothing quite like an ice cold mug of beer after a hard day’s work, but how many of us actually have beer glasses that help relieve the stress by talking? By talking, I don’t mean idle chit chat but jokes that seem funnier after each pint. One such drinking gadget that is guaranteed to crack any self-respecting drinker up is the Talking Beer Glass.

So, yes, I’ve already shown proof I’m a tad weird, but, here’s more proof.

I think Knee-boards are cool.

Yes, I’m still not quite sure why either. Maybe it is because you can use them to carry important little notes like,

“If flying upside-down, do not release bombs.”

or

“Pay attention to the radar when flying, those other dots you see at your altitude can hit you and it’ll be bad.”

So you know, important notes that pilots use. While I’m not a pilot, I always am writing notes to myself, as well as cruising all over the office. So, you guessed it, I’ve always wanted one. Maybe this falls into the same category as the wrist coach for why I think it’s cool to be doing something and be able to read important information, (just ask any NFL quarterback).

Maybe this’ll be the year I finally buckle down and get one for myself.

So you have things that need chopping.

Possibly even Broccoli (Phil Hartman, we miss you still, and Dana, what have you been up to?)

I actually owned an earlier Black and Decker Chopper (lost in a long ago move, I think, probably still in Montana somewhere). It was amazing. It did one thing, chop stuff. The thing is, it did it very well. There were two modes, chop, and pulverize (that was the blade turned backwards and the dulled side of the blade would power through things like peanuts to mince them, yet not turn them into butter.).

I was scrolling through the world of gadgets and lo and behold Wired was looking at the most recent version in their “Best of Gadget Lab.” This seemed weird to me, as their best of, was mostly spent smashing the egos of the people that made those things in a single paragraph. They have a “Wired, or Tired” style format, and this was the “Tired” portion for the chopper.

“TIRED Definitely not a one-stop chop shop. Any ingredient larger than a tennis ball must be pre-sliced before chopper can handle it. Not much variation in chopping options.“

What are some of the ways your company will be able to assert itself in the minds of prospects and potential customers? Other than splurging a whole bunch of money on conventional advertising means in traditional media like TV, radio, and newspapers, there are other (much) cheaper ways of doing so by targeting your preferred market in order to optimize your advertising dollar. With the digital divide being bridged slowly but surely, more and more people cannot live without touching a computer even for a day. What better way to get your company’s message across by giving away a free USB flash drive? After all, everyone could definitely do with more portable memory, and a USB flash drive is the perfect tool for the job at the moment. eNECESSITIES has launched a USB Sound Flash Drive to cater for this exact need. Check out what this unique memory device has to offer below.

If you want to get a “different” gift for your loved one and boy do I mean different then this is it, Valentine’s Day Talking Tapes, plastic that talks in your head!

You get 5 plastic strips in the pack and to listen to their messages you need to hold one end between your teeth and then run a fingernail across the grooves down the the length of the plastic strip. The secret messages (well not so secret as we’ll share them in a minute) will then resonate in your head, sweet. If you want to share the message with an audience you can always use a paper cup instead of your teeth to resonate the sound (video).

You get the following romantic (and not so romantic) messages in the pack

• Happy Valentine’s Day
• I Love You
• Hello Sweetheart
• You Turn Me On
• I’m a Jackass

Show your love with plastic (the cheap way), available from Think Geek for $5.99.
