Join Evian bottles get the Star Wars touch
Just how many kinds of cash cows do you think George Lucas owns? Well, actually he does not need that many, only one, and that ought to be more than good enough for some of the poorest countries in the world to form bulk of their GDP. I am talking about the Star Wars franchise, where the first three films really made sure that it established a global fan base, and most recently at the turn of the century, the second trilogy would have roped in a whole new generation of Star Wars fans who will most probably be able to identify a sliver of that kind of ‘magic’ that their parents spoke about when they first watched Star Wars all the way back in 1977.
Well, six films in the entire space opera has spawned its fair share of merchandise, allowing George Lucas to literally swim in a pool of money without missing a beat. Just which product line or idea has yet to feature a Star Wars theme or character? Coming up with an example would be pretty hard, as you will find not only officially licensed Star Wars products, but fan made features as well. Here we are with Evian bottles that have received the seemingly magical Star Wars touch. Find out more about these bottles after the jump.

Switch Pop Bottle Opener
If you’re macho and you know it, you would have scoffed at bottle openers, preferring to use your set of pearly whites instead. Wait a minute here, this is somewhat an oxymoron, since pearly whites and macho don’t go together due to all the booze and perhaps cigarettes that you consume. Anyways, that is just a small technicality, and one thing’s for sure – your teeth will not be there all the time, so do be prepared to wear dentures once your hair starts to thin, and that beer belly begins to show. Growing old does not mean you quit your drinking sessions with your buddies, but you might want to give that denture a rest from opening bottles, and start using the $19.99 Switch Pop Bottle Opener instead.
This 7″ long stainless steel switchblade-style bottle opener sports a solid weight to get the job done, while the pearlized handle adds a touch of class. Bear in mind that this is definitely not TSA approved, so leave it at home if you are going to take a flight the next time round.
Electrotherapy Back Wrap
There is a reason why you head out for massages – those tend to help loosen the muscles on your body, not to mention introduce an overall feeling of bliss and well being. Sometimes we cannot afford to go for our monthly massage appointment, and yet our back is killing us, so what is there to do? Enter the $129.95 Electrotherapy Back Wrap, where this unique home electrotherapy system is capable of offering drug-free pain relief thanks to the simple form factor of a snug back wrap.
There will be a quartet of reusable adhesive electrodes located within the belt, where a couple are located on each side of the spine. These electrodes will use Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), which is a common pain therapy that delivers controlled electrical pulses so that nerves are simulated in order to help dull the effects of low-intensity aches and pains. With the inclusion of a tethered digital controller, you will be able to choose from eight customized programs, as well as adjust the duration and intensity level. Hopefully your spare tires would still be able to be accommodated by the belt’s 13″ extender.
Lazer Shirt Interactive Tee
A t-shirt is a t-shirt, or is it? Back in the day, t-shirts were meant to be extremely comfortable items of clothing that you don, and after a while, they became fashion and perhaps even political statements as you are able to print not only different colors, but logos, images and wordings across the shirt to get a message across to whoever looks at you. Well, I guess it is only natural that with time, the normal t-shirt has gotten interactive, resulting in the $24.99 Lazer Shirt Interactive Tee.
This is one unique piece of casual wear that enables you to design your own shirt art using nothing but UV light. This is made possible thanks to the included UV Lazer, letting you draw or write what is on your mind at that point in time. Not only that, it glows in the dark, making it ideal for parties as you make your umpteenth attempt to stand out in a crowd without resorting to doing something silly. Should you get far too drunk and lose your UV Lazer, fret not – any source of UV light will play nice with the Lazer shirt.
Spider Catcher helps you conquer arachnophobia
“An itsy bitsy spider, crawled up the water spout…”, or so the popular nursery rhyme goes. If you hate these 8-legged creatures due to the webs that they leave behind, perhaps you might want to think twice before smashing them to bits and pieces with a fly swatter – after all, they do help keep the pesky insect population in check. To catch a spider might freak some of you out – so why not get some help from the £9.99 Spider Catcher?
This gadget comprises of a long pole alongside a handle and spiny bristles at the end. When you pull the trigger, the bristles will open, and when the trigger is released, the bristles will close – this particular mechanism will enable you to capture any of those spiders around the home, all without causing any harm to them. Once they’re safely captured, you will be able to release them outdoors in a safe manner. It works great for wasps, bees and other stinging insects as well.
The Most Realistic Electric Fireplace
Some of us love old school stuff, not wanting to move on with the times simply because of the hold of nostalgia over us. As for others, we would prefer to always stay on the cutting edge of technology. Those who fall under the latter category, the $2,000 Most Realistic Electric Fireplace is something that you might want to explore that will keep both sets of “fans” happy – it sports an old school design that will not look out of place no matter how modern your home is, while ensuring it is up to date with the latest technology to keep you and your family warm and toasty during the cold winter season.
This electric fireplace creates dancing flames and smoke which are pretty difficult to tell from the real deal, where a fine evaporative mist rises up through glowing, half-burnt logs and embers, and in order to recreate a heart-warming fire, an integrated LED light will reflect and refract within the water molecules, so that it creates an enchanting, three-dimensional fire. You will be able to adjust the visual intensity of the flames and smoke using the included remote control, while the integrated 1,440-watt fan-forced heater produces 4,915 BTUs of heat that ought to be good enough to warm everyone within the vicinity up.
Wearable Neck Or Upper Back Heating Pad
Brrrr! The chilly winter has certainly got to our bones, and we are not too thrilled with the ever increasing amounts of money that we need to fork out to keep ourselves warm when the mercury drops. Well, there are many ways to keep ourselves warm, and the $69.95 Wearable Neck Or Upper Back Heating Pad is definitely something worth having in store. Wearing this like a vest, it will be able to deliver targeted, soothing heat therapy straight to the neck and upper back, or if you prefer, to your middle back without inhibiting any of your movement.
The cordless heating pad will wrap itself comfortably around the arms and back, where its flexible, soft fabric will contour to the unique shape of your body to ensure direct contact with the affected areas. All you need to do is place this in a microwave for a couple of minutes, heat it up for 20 seconds and the interior silica beads will release soothing heat which improves circulation and helps loosen sore, tight muscles and joints. Instead of leaving milk and cookies for Santa, how about giving the old man of the North Pole this?
Lumie Bodyclock Active 250
Want to wake up naturally, and by that, I do not mean having Rover lick your face till it is all wet before you finally roll out of bed? The £89.99 Lumie Bodyclock Active 250 might be able to help you out here, as there is no irritating clattering bell that jolts you out of your sleep, but rather, wakes your body up the way nature wanted it to. The Lumie Bodyclock Active 250 will work in a way where it simulates a sunrise right there and then in your bedroom, never mind if it is freezing cold on the outside. It gently nudges and prompts your body to slow the production of sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, while flooding your system with cortisol instead. You can set it to wake yourself up over the course of 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes.
Of course, if you love being awakened with a blast from the local radio jock, there is still a built-in radio function, although those who prefer something from nature can always set it to a dawn chorus of birds, or a single cock-crow. Definitely beats the rude awakening of the classic metal clattering of the old school alarm clock, don’t you think so? At least with this, you need not drive to the office all sour faced.
