May 6th, 2007 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas

May 6th, 2007 by Al in Gadget Gift Ideas, Retro Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

This takes me back some, fuzzy felt, the re-usable picture drawing thingy-ma-jig, is now available in greeting card format.

So instead of sending a plain old static card you can send a fuzzy felt version and let the (older) recipient relive their youth and move bits around, class!

Fuzzy felt greeting cards cost £2.99 (~$6) from the fuzzy felt greeting card shop, surprisingly.

The Jigsaw Fish Bowl

May 5th, 2007 by Al in Wacky Gadgets

Jigsaw Fish bowl

Goldfish can be pretty boring pets so to make them a tiny bit more interesting you can now get fish bowls shaped like Jigsaw pieces.

The bowls hang on the wall and are meant to look like moving pieces of art, though I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Two hanging puzzle fish bowls cost $34.99 from Target.
