Housewarming Toolbox
This is a nice idea, the Housewarming Toolbox, full of useful or just plain nice gifts that people will really appreciate after the stress of moving house.
Moving can be traumatic — this great gift will help take the edge off! Classic metal toolbox holds two small bottles of bubbly, gourmet cookies, chocolates, gourmet cheese & crackers and a current issue of DWELL magazine PLUS essential tools (hammer, screwdriver, flashlight, extension cord and tape measure). “
I’m assuming nobody got me one of these for my last move as they didn’t know where to get them from, well now you do, Elsewares.
iJoy Ride
Last year we reported on the lazy iJoy chair, well if you have energy to burn you might prefer the totally unrelated lazy way to exercise the iJoy Ride.
The iJoy Ride might look like a toilet with a saddle on top but it’s a mean exercise machine.
The amazing new iJoy® Ride is a body sculpting, “core muscle exerciser” that takes the work out of working out! Just hop on, sit back, balance and have fun riding this fantastic motorized muscle enhancer. Its triple-axis riding motion tones and tightens three different core muscle groups — back, sides and abs — without putting pressure or stress on joints.
Select from four speeds: Warm-up, Taking It Easy, Getting Serious or Pump It Up. In Auto mode the Ride takes control, dishing out a combination of all four speeds for a dynamic core muscle workout!
The iJoy Ride is available from Sharper Image for $399.95.
It’s kinda like monkeys without all the poop flinging
There are many magnetic toys.
They tend to stick to each other, magnetically of course. They can be fun and mildly amusing.
Sometimes you can even mess with someone if they’ve got metal in their body (pacemakers can be fun, but tend to really piss people off!)
Here’s a great new bit from ThinkGeek that’s got it all down.
They’re called Acrobots! They look like a ton of fun, and they’re only about 7-13$. Not bad!

OneDerWear – The Wear Once Disposable Underwear
I’m sure there is a very legitimate use for this but the idea of wear once disposable underwear just seems a bit crazy. It’s made out of 100% cotton and is biodegradable but still manufacturing it to be worn once can’t be a good thing.
More info and available online from OneDerWear, thanks to DigiVista for letting us know about this in our forums.

Glow in the Dark Inhaler Caps
My girlfriend’s got asthma and the number of times I get woken up at night because she can’t find her inhaler is kind of annoying (as she smokes a pack a day I have no sympathy), so here’s a valentines day idea, the Glowcap.
You can probably guess what the glow cap does, it glows in the dark (d’uh). So instead scrambling around in the dark (or worse blinding your self with the light) you just look for the glow (provided you remembered to put the cap back on).
Available from Glow Cap, found on Shiny Shiny.
