How many of us own cats and wonder what goes through their minds? First, they will be lying on your lap taking a catnap and then out of the blue jump up and swat at your face. With the Purfect Mood Detector you will not be mislead any longer.

You will be able to tell just at a glance if your kitty and see what his collar has to say. You will then begin to understand a bit more about his likes and dislikes if you pay attention. I know that if you are a cat owner that there has been more times then one that your special kitty has reached right out and swatted you for no apparent reason. But, you did not know his mood.

You can own a jacket just like the federal law enforcement agents. You may wonder you would want to and the answer is quite simple. This jacket has 52 pockets with many of them concealed that will hold any electronic device or other items you wish to carry. There are hidden conduits in side the lining that will give you the opportunity to thread and organize all those wires so they do not tangle. The jacket is waterproof and breathable at the same. If you are going through airport security, they will be able to see every time that you are carrying because the X-ray can see through the jacket. This will save you time when you are on urgent spy business and just don’t have the time to remove all your cool spy stuff for them to check out.

Each pocket is specifically designed for your MP3 player, cell phone, PDA, wallet, keys, water bottle, pens, sunglasses and even more. Each compartment also has a non-scratch lining and will easily open and close with magnetic closures.

Okay, technically these little mints are not gadgets but since they are a new innovative product that is not for what you would think, they are not mints that give you fresh breath.

What these cool mints do for you is give you as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Therefore, if you are at work and wearing down, becoming bored listening to your professor or are feeling sluggish while you are driving you can just eat a mint, literally. One of these energy mints will give you that extra boost with a blend of power from caffeine, ginseng, taurine and five B vitamins. You will not have to pull over to a truck stop to a cup of Joe, or wait until your break between classes or your 15-minute break at work to get some energy back into your system.
