Gumball Pinball Machine
Gumball and pinball machines tend to go hand in hand, and here is something which might just pique your interest – the Gumball Pinball Machine, bringing together what could very well be the best of both worlds. This gumball machine will need the deft skill of a pinball maven in order to obtain up to three 1″ diameter chewy confections that are stashed away inside. A Hammacher exclusive, this machine will come with a baseball-themed playing field which will comprise of a quartet of “Win” holes as well as a trio of “Lose” holes. You will need to rely on pure mechanical movement without electricity, where turning the coin slot crank will see three gumballs drop into play.
You will then call upon your vast pinball experience to use the two spring-loaded flippers to navigate through the treacherous machine, knocking each gumball into one of the winning holes, and any gumballs which bypass the flippers will be returned to play thanks to the game’s plunger. All successful scores will deposit winnings via the flip-up candy door, while losing gumballs remain in hostage in a container. Each $1,000 purchase will be accompanied by 850 1″ multi-colored gumballs.
Blade Preserving Knife Sharpener
The law of entropy sees wear and tear on the universe bringing things to an end, never mind that time seems to continue trolling on, laboring under the death of humans, animals, plants and star systems alike. Well, having said that, not everything is forever, except maybe for diamonds, but that is not what we are going to focus on today. No sir, we will be looking at the $149.95 Blade Preserving Knife Sharpener – which as its name suggests, is capable of prolonging the life of blades in your kitchen by removing the barest minimum of metal so that it can achieve a fine edge, ready for you to whip up a culinary adventure for this coming Christmas.
Other sharpeners are said to be different as they erode knives with aggressive grinding, but the interlocking ceramic wheels of this model will gently file a blade’s edge, ensuring it is preserved for additional years of use. This model is also a time saver, where it boasts of a single slot to make sure that both sides are sharpened simultaneously, where its ceramic wheels are suited for standard straight-edge knives and double-beveled Asian-style knives with angles smaller than 35º.
Philips 42” BDL4251VS 3D TV needs no glasses
Stereoscopic 3D is meant to set your living room alight in terms of delivering the next frontier in home entertainment, but there are still some of us who prefer something far more traditional, as going 3D means a larger investment for your visual equipment, not to mention not everyone is able to jive with it, as others tend to suffer from headaches or dizziness after being exposed to 3D material. Well, for those who do not fall under that category, you might want to check out what Philips has in store for you with their newest and latest auto-stereoscopic 3D model, the 42” BDL4251VS.
Specially developed in conjunction with Dimenco, this will deliver a glasses-free 3D viewing experience right in the comfort of your living room, where this 42″ display was meant to grab people’s attention right from the get go with the sharpest and most vivid 3D resolution touted in the market at press time. Using lenticular technology, the BDL4251VS is said to be capable of achieving its excellent quality of 3D images courtesy of its 28 lenticular views, letting you peek around objects, depending on the position of where you are standing relative to the display itself.

Subzero Warm Breath Balaclava
I don’t know about you, but seeing this $79.95 Subzero Warm Breath Balaclava just makes me want to shout, “Mortal Kombatttt!!!” and firing up the iconic soundtrack while I start practising my Fatality moves as Subzero, the undead ninja in the beat ‘em up. Don a yellow suit and you have the license to “Get over here!”, while putting on a green suit and you end up being another speechless ninja known as Reptile. Too bad the Subzero Warm Breath Balaclava has no references to the classic violent video game, but rather, it is meant to facilitate comfortable breathing by humidifying and warming up the winter air.
A special ventilation chamber will sit within the integrated mask, letting you inhale full, unhindered breaths while trapping a small amount of heated, humid exhalation. As a result, you will be able to enjoy a comfortable, fully oxygenated “microclimate” inside the mask, where it will boast humidity of up to 80% higher as well as temperatures up to 60° F warmer compared to the chilly air on the outside. One size fits all, or so the product description says – hopefully that’s true for Bruce Banner.
Homemade Pet Treats Maker
For the majority of us, no one whips up a meal as delicious as mum, as dad tends to order pizza or put in TV dinners into the microwave. Well, as a dog owner, your four legged friend’s world comprises only of you – he or she does not have a favorite TV series, and neither can a Kong toy last him/her all day long. So why not forget about those preservatives laden dog treats in the market, and make your own dog treats instead? Don’t have the tools to get started? Hammacher’s got something right up your alley – the $59.95 Homemade Pet Treats Maker.
This countertop dehydrator will let you gain control over the quality of treats your pets consume, where it will gently blow warmed air through the five ventilated trays in order to gradually remove moisture from homemade foods that are made using only the finest ingredients of your choice. This will in turn preserve the snacks, transforming their texture into the kind of chewy, crunchy foods that will result in strong teeth, reduced plaque while adding a healthful supplement to a pet’s diet. Each purchase will come with a book of 25 inventive recipes to get you started as well, now how about that?
Espro Press project needs your help
Coffee lovers from our readership, your help is needed! If you want to be part of the innovation known as the Espro Press, it is currently being displayed at the Kickstarter page, being touted as a precision coffee brewer that is similar to a French press, although it does have a patent-pending two-stage micro-filter which is touted to preserve all of the freshly brewed flavors and aromas, while making sure all those nasty sediments will remain right out of your cup.
The single cup press was launched last year, and due to overwhelming response by those who kept on knocking back cup of Joes, the customers of the single cup press requested for a larger version, hence the Espro Press project that scales things up in order to deliver around 30 ounces of coffee, letting you enjoy more than a single cup or to share it with friends. The design itself is already ready, while the prototypes are complete – it is only short of money for a production run, and this is where your generosity is being appealed.

Constellation Projecting Ladybug Night Light
Kids do have their fear of the dark, and for some of them, they require some sort of night light to keep them comforted. Well, instead of getting your usual lamp, you might want to check out some other options that are on the market which might be closer to what your little one wants as a sleeping companion – like the $34.95 Constellation Projecting Ladybug Night Light, for instance.
This plush pink ladybug seems to be perpetually asleep, but when you turn it on, it is capable of projecting all seven constellations onto a ceiling, creating a tranquil sleeping environment for children (and perhaps, adults too, who knows?) It will feature an illuminated plastic shell that is further divided into seven sections, where these sections will boast of apertures that enable light to pass through when the red, blue, or green backlight is turned on.
Powered by a trio of AAA batteries, you might want to look into rechargeables in the long run.
Coffee from a tap is now a reality
I know that some of us like nothing better than to knock back a tipple or two after a particularly long, hard day at work. I helps keep stress at bay, or so I would like to think so, not to mention help working at breweries as well as malt fields to keep their job in this multi-billion dollar industry. Well, some of you might like to drink from a bottle, but others prefer the smoother feeling of an actual tap, not to mention working on getting just the right amount of head in your drink.
As for coffee, the other multi-billion dollar industry, instead of getting your favorite morning brew from one of those super expensive coffee machines, how about doing it in the same way as that of a tap? Yes sir, you no longer need to shuffle bleary eyed into your kitchn each morning, getting your mornign glass of water from the sink, but rather, the Top Brewer will dispense of your favorite coffee into a mug of your choice. Let us see how it works in the extended post.
