Join Mario & Luigi freshens up room
I suppose the Mario brothers are great at freshening up the smell of any room, especially when they have gotten rid of all the muck stuck in your home’s plumbing system. These two plumbing brothers are now available in the form of air fresheners, and they differ by only the letter on their caps and color of their uniform. Strange to see the manufacturer take a short cut though, as Luigi is supposed to be way slimmer instead of being a carbon copy of Mario as shown here. Either one will detail for $7.61.

LEGO 3D Pumpkin Pack
The LEGO 3D Pumpkin Pack is definitely something worth checking out especially when Halloween is just around the corner. Instead of using the traditional method of carving out the entire pumpkin, why not pick up this alternative from LEGO? It certainly is much easier and less messy compared to the organic version, but you’ll have to fork out $17.98 for it first. LEGO has made sure once you’ve completed it, there will still be pieces left over just in case you’re the clumsy type who tends to lose things.

Prince enters peripheral game
If you’re too lazy to sweat it out on a real tennis court, why not pick up Wii Sports tennis instead? Heck, you might as well go all out for this pseudo-exercise regime with racket add-ons from tennis equipment maker Prince. These mini rackets are slightly smaller than the real thing, and I suspect they’re a real hazard to any home with highly fragile adornments lying around. These Prince-branded rackets will retail for approximately $15 each and will definitely make any Wii Sports fan happy.

Nintendo Power Mints for that sugar rush
Just when you thought you’ve seen everything possible in the Nintendo franchise, along comes Nintendo Power Mints that come in a wide variety of designs such as an old school NES controller, the famous Super Mario Brothers Mushroom Candy, and the Nintendo Game Boy Advance Candy which will retail for $3.50, $3.00, and $3.00 respectively. All of them will come in different colors, but remember to have some money left over as you prepare to visit your dentist later this year.

The sound of faith: cross MP3-player
I’m pretty puzzled here.. this little gadget combines 3 cultures in one, apparently.
First of all, there’s the modern culture: a ‘fashion’ MP3 player, to be worn as a pendant.
Then, there’s the religious side: sombre colors and stiff cross form.
But then, after finding out that it fits an AAA battery inside, I reckoned that it’s about the size of pimpin’ jewelry. The colors aren’t right for that, though.. no gold?
This is not the first cross-shaped MP3-player we’ve stumbled upon. The other one actually had some pretty slick looks. It doesn’t seem to have made it past the concept stage, though.
Read on for the hard specs and the usual engrish-related fun. Of course, there’s a bigger picture inside, too.

Halo 3 Kubricks coming your way
Further increase the temperature surrounding Halo 3 with these Halo 3 Kubricks! For those of you who might not be in time to pick up this highly anticipated title for the Xbox 360 this week, there is always the option to satiate your Halo 3 appetite with other accessories such as this.
Halo 3 Kubricks are 2.5″ figures of everyone’s favorite biologically-enhanced, cybernetically-augmented commando. And with Halo 3 upon us there’s never been a better time to hit the Buy button. Each highly sought-after 4-pack contains a traditional Green, online Red, online Blue and Active Camo version of the hard-as-nails Spartan II Super Soldier. Sporting Mjolnir battle armor and an assault rifle or SMG, these coveted figures are set to sky-rocket in value. It’s enough to make you drop your joystick in gibbering anticipation.
Remember, Kubrick figures are always produced in limited numbers and will never see a re-release, so their collectible value will surely soar assuming the Halo franchise doesn’t bomb.
Trumpet Harmonica for the musically inclined
We all know about the trumpet and the harmonica as separate musical devices, but what happens when you marry the two? The result is the Trumpet Harmonica that is handmade by the famous Hohner instrument company who have been churning out great sounding harmonicas for the last 150 years.
This full concert octave harmonica faithfully reproduces the original 1907 design, and includes five meticulously crafted brass bells which produce the instruments vibrant sound. A solid pearwood comb forms the core of the harmonica, and it will not swell, even after years of playing, because it is the same wood used in orchestral recorders. Two brass Knittlinger-replica reed plates are affixed to either side of the comb using the traditional nailing method and enclosed by two cover plates, creating 10 double holes and a total of 40 reeds. The brass bells all connect to the air chamber, and blowing o r drawing on one of the holes passes air through the nearest bell, resulting in the classic Hohner vibrato.
Get this potential family heirloom-quality musical instrument that has been tuned to the key of C-major for $119.95. Just make sure the intended recipient is not musically deaf like me.
