LED Invaders Door Mat
If you’re not exactly the social type, then the LED Invaders Door Mat fits you to a T.
This nifty doormat is imported from France and features a glowing display and motion sensor. Any time someone comes near, a glowing green space invader moves back and forth across the top of the mat. Potential guests, having left their phasers at home, will usually run shrieking in fear.
Powered by a quartet of AAA batteries, you’ll have to fork out $69.99 for this. Just make sure you stock up on those rechargeable batteries.
Shall I be Mother?

As some of you may know by now, I do like gadgets which do more than one thing at once and this fits the bill in more ways than one – not only multi-usage but looks decorative too.

Batman Begins 3D Sculpture
Puzzle lovers will definitely want to have a go at the Batman Begins 3D Sculpture. This is no ordinary 3D puzzle as it features a grand total of 152 different puzzles for you to crack your head over, with these puzzles taking up anywhere between 150 to 750 pieces to complete. Just make sure you stack them up correctly and you’re good to go, but woe to you should little Johnny come running into the room, knocking everything over so that you have to start from scratch. This $30.19 puzzle sounds more like something the Joker would give as a present just to turn you mad.

One for the smokers: a cool vintage lighter!
A few weeks ago, when ordering some motorcycle gear, I took a random look at the ‘Presents&co.’ section. There I found a lighter that caught my eye.
Made of first-grade but vintage-looking brass, it’s a replica of those used by French soldiers in the first World War.
It’s an inexpensive gadget which is always a pleasure to look at. You’ll see a bigger picture and a video after the break.

Apple fanboys, read no further. The rational analysis and non-reverence to Steve Jobs and his cohorts will utterly shock you. It might even pose a danger to your health. uSheep… Thinkers everywhere, please read on and share your opinions.
As usual, there’s little innovation, and some huge cashcow milking. Everything’s convenient for Apple, everything will be adored by the hordes of fanboys, little is truly outstanding.

Syringe Pen gives life to writings
Give your teacher a heart attack as he/she sees you with this Syringe Pen that uses red liquid to resemble human blood, swishing around whenever you write. Great for “injecting” some life into otherwise what is interpreted as boring texts. Definitely a great “back to school” gift, and I predict this would be extremely popular among the juveniles. It’s the novelty factor that made me buy the idea – what about you?
