Join Station offers a modern day caddy for your devices
In this day and age, it is not surprising to hear of someone carrying a couple of smartphones around, not to mention a tablet and other kinds of different hardware. The thing is, when you get back home after a long and gruelling day outside, there must be a place where you can “park” all of your devices in an orderly manner, no? Some folks might just dump everything on a basket that is placed on the table, others could not care less and leave the devices still in the coat pockets, but for folks who happen to have a neat streak in them, a desk caddy might sound like a good idea. No, I am not referring to you hunting down one of them little pixies and asking her to be your personal caddy ala golf, but rather, the Station caddy which has been perfectly crafted and designed from bamboo, delivering a modern and minimalist design.

R2-D2 Talking Pizza Cutter
You can say that R2-D2 is the one major Star Wars character who does not have the emotion of a human, and neither does it have the power to manipulate the Force, but it has done more than its fair share in order to make sure the good guys always win, before the Emperor ascended his throne and ruled the galaxy with fear, and after that as he helped out the Rebel Alliance. Well, if there is another thing that R2-D2 might help you in your home would be this – to be able to ensure no fights break out among the family as it goes about its business, cutting your pizza perfectly. After all, how can anyone have anything against the $19.99 R2-D2 Talking Pizza Cutter?
The R2-D2 Talking Pizza Cutter will naturally come with its fair share of sound effects, which means it runs on some sort of power source. Of course, since there are no X-Wings in existence just yet, don’t bet on a mini-sized nuclear reactor powering the R2-D2 Talking Pizza Cutter, but rather, it would go around its business thanks to a trio of LR41 cell batteries that were included right out of the box to get you started there and then. For those who are a fan of pizza as well as Star Wars, this is definitely the droid you’re looking for!
Cordless Motion Activated Outdoor Sconce
So you want to move towards a paperless home, but how about a wireless home? That too, is something that is being worked on by many people, as just about every modern home in this day and age comes with a Wi-Fi network, in addition to wireless printers, wireless digital cameras, the works. How about ensuring that even the lights in your home are also wireless in nature? This is what the $69.95 Cordless Motion Activated Outdoor Sconce is all about, being a battery-powered outdoor sconce which will deliver automatic nighttime illumination each time it detects the appropriate amount of movement.
The Cordless Motion Activated Outdoor Sconce will come with an integrated motion sensor that has been placed into the bottom of the fixture, where it has a detection range of up to 22′ away and across a 90° angle. This would allow it to initiate illumination well before you approach the light. It would be best to use rechargeable batteries with this household addition, considering how it is powered by a quartet of C batteries. The Cordless Motion Activated Outdoor Sconce can be mounted just about anywhere on a house with the included bracket and hardware, as it does away with the need for hardwiring and proximity to a power outlet. A pair of LEDs are capable of generating a bright white light, and they will remain illuminated for 20 seconds after the sensor detects motion, in addition to carrying a pair of adjustable brightness settings.
Talking Hand Strengthener
“Speak to the hand, because the face, it ain’t listening” is a phrase that I am quite sure that many of us have heard of before. Now this statement would be less funny and a whole lot more serious if the person dispensing said statement were to be extremely buffed up, one whose physical size doubles yours. Well, perhaps that guy must have spent way too much time with the $39.95 Talking Hand Strengthener.
Yes sir, we know what hand strengtheners are like, and it is ideal to de-stress with it especially when you are at the office trying to figure out a solution to a rather difficult problem, but why not infuse some technology into the entire shebang? In a nutshell, the Talking Hand Strengthener will verbally announce results as you exercise, doing away with the distraction of tracking statistics visually. Other than that,it works just like any other hand strengthener as each squeeze of the device’s handgrip would strengthen the extensor muscles in your hands, wrists, and elbows, while helping reduce the painful symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and tendonitis. Some of the announcements include the force of the current squeeze, the accumulated force of all squeezes, total number of repetitions, and maximum squeeze force (up to 110 lbs.) in a pleasant female voice, with the slew of statistics being shown off on an LCD panel. Of course, sometimes when you need a little peace and quiet, just mute it, and also save on the two AAA batteries that are required to run it.
Eat’N Tool Dark Edition
If you are a sucker for attention, then perhaps you might want to check out the $7.99 Eat’N Tool Dark Edition, which is definitely not something you would see on the dining table every single day. This is truly a unique tool to carry around, where it has been described as the ultimate multi-tool, doubling up as an eating utensil, too! It does not matter whether you are in a tight position, you will still be able to have your spoon, fork, bottle opener, screwdriver/pry tip, metric wrenches, and carabiner with you.
Not only that, the Eat’N Tool Dark Edition will not bog you down on your travels, considering it tips the scales at a “mighty” 1.5 oz. Invented by NYC designer Liong Mah, it does resemble a distant cousin of the spork at first glance, but also comes with a plethora of other capabilities as mentioned above. The trio of metric wrench reliefs (10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm) should come in handy in tight spots for sure! There is a large central hole that is suitable for finger gripping, while it ensures the tool remains nice and light.
Klipy Cake Divider
As a parent, you wear many hats, and while you treat each of your kids differently based on their age and personalities, this does not mean that you treat them in a biased manner. Fairness must be maintained at all times, although the approach should always be different to suit the individual child. When it comes to cutting a freshly baked (or purchased) cake, this is one tricky move since there is every possibility that your little one might come up to you and say that his or her brother’s slice is larger than the one you allocated. Such disputes will be a thing of the past with the $14.99 Klipy Cake Divider, where as its name implies, it is capable of dividing a cake into perfectly equal piece.
Cakes or pies, they will all fall to the Klipy Cake Divider, as you are able to make 6, 8, 10, or 12 equal slices. It is definitely a no brainer to use, and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning afterwards. The trick in making sure you get evenly divided slices of cake each time is this – you will have to place it right smack in the center of the cake, and the rest of the hard mathematical work is done by the Klipy Cake Divider. Of course, it goes without saying that this works only with perfectly round cakes, cakes of other shapes and sizes do not apply.
Ergonomical Back Massager
Many of us office drones tend to suffer from bad backs after spending so many hours in front of the computer monitor, hacking away on our keyboards to finish up that report that was due since yesterday. Couple that with poor diet and a dire lack of exercise, and you have got a recipe for a bad back. Well, good to know that there are ways to obtain some form of relief, and the $99.95 Ergonomical Back Massager would definitely be one of them.
The Ergonomical Back Massager comes across as a lightweight back massager that sports a superior ergonomic design, making it a whole lot easier to pinpoint aches as well as pains located at your back. This would do away with the need to contort the body in targeting hard-to-reach areas of the back, as all you need to do is hold up the massager in front at waist or hip level, allowing its curved arm to arch around your shoulder. The massaging “ball” head would then be placed in the ideal position so that it can get to work, relieving tense neck, shoulder, and upper back muscles. Need to reach your lower back? No need to strain yourself, where all you have to do is lift the handle to chest level, and you’re good to go.
All controls are located at the handle, where its dual-speed motor delivers 4,500- and 5,500-rpm oscillation, which is ideal for light relaxing pressure or penetrating deep massage. It comes with a trio of massage heads: a “point” for precise trigger point release, “knuckle” for multiple knots in the same area, and a “palm” to help promote circulation, and guess what? The Ergonomical Back Massager will play nice with your feet, too.
Electric Shark Saw
There comes a time when a man’s got to do what he’s got to do, and this includes clearing up the yard around his home. After much nagging from his wife, of course, and if he were to want an easier life while doing all the backbreaking work, he can always fall back on the likes of the $179.95 Electric Shark Saw. The Electric Shark Saw sports an innovative design, where it is actually a chainsaw in essence, although the safety issue has been tackled head-on by enclosing the bar and chain while employing a scissor-cut action in order to limit dangerous kickback.
The jaw design itself will grab onto the object that you want to cut in two, where it also offers a stabilizing factor, while there is an auto-tension feature that guarantees optimum tension. Not only that, it even cuts directly on the ground without having to prop your item up. The Electric Shark Saw will also come with an automatic chain oiler with oil level indicator, and considering how it is corded, you can forget about this ending up in an explosion should things go awry since there is no need for any gas. Seniors too, would definitely appreciate the ease of use of this chainsaw.
