Crib Dribbler – for the Truly Perfect Present
We all know how hard finding the perfect gift can be, I’m always on the lookout for the item that will wow the crowd, and of course the recipient. It gets more difficult as we get older, probably because we lose our lust for toys, and the mundane stuff we’re left with in terms of “grown-up” presents… well, they’re just not that much fun to give.

Wide Coverage LED Pain Reliever
So you might not have the healing factor of Wolverine, but this does not mean that you should continue to writhe in pain the next time you suffer an injury from your endeavors in sport or while you are at work. Well, the $199.95 Wide Coverage LED Pain Reliever is something that relies on technology developed by NASA in order to heal astronauts’ injuries, where it lives up to its name since it can cover a wide 3.5″-diameter area with the help of 72 LEDs in order to produce safe infrared heat. That is not the only thing that it does, however, as it is also capable of stimulating blood circulation, relieving swelling in joints, and loosening tight muscles.
In fact, in a study at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, it depicted the LED technology was successful in reducing painful inflammation by up to 37%. It is different from heating pads which only treat injuries that are located just below the skin’s surface, as the LED light will be able to penetrate deep into tissue for lasting relief from muscle aches. The device itself can be placed on the skin or 0.25″ above the skin, where it begins to relieve pain in as few as three treatments. Sporting a brush-shaped design that is lightweight, it is obviously easy to move around the body and hold in place.
LED Ladder Toss
All right, this is one for those who are not experiencing winter right now (sorry folks in the southern hemisphere!), where you get to have some good old fashioned family fun in the garden with the $49.99 LED Ladder Toss. This is an updated version of the classic outdoor family game, as it now comes with a twist as you can tell by the name of the device.
Each time you successfully manage to toss one of those red or blue bolas, they will be lit from within via glow sticks, and not only that, to add to the fun, each rung of the scoring ladder too will not miss out on the glowing action, thanks to the light emanating from energy efficient LED lights. Individual ladder rungs will be lit via a different color, where green is meant for the top scoring bar, blue for the middle one, and if you hit red, well at least that is better than nothing although it is the lowest scoring bar.
Each purchase will come with a couple of LED Ladders, three pairs of glow bolas accompanied by an equal number of glow sticks, and a carrying bag. The entire shebang requires a dozen AAA batteries to to run, so you might want to settle for rechargeable batteries in the long run.
Marinade Infusing Meat Tenderizer
Father’s Day is just around the corner, so you might want to ensure the entire family has something special for dad. After all, hasn’t dad busted his back over all these years to do his level best and provide for the family? Assuming it is your family tradition to perform a cook-out each year on Father’s Day, and dad being the main cook of the home as he makes the best hamburgers, how about a present that he needs not wrap around his neck (aka the dreaded tie), but rather, the $49.95 Marinade Infusing Meat Tenderizer?
It should be a gizmo that he will appreciate, as this particular meat tenderizer will be able to infuse food with marinade. This is made possible thanks to a built-in plunger which will release marinade into meat through a trio of needle-like applicators, where it will quickly saturating the interior of food with flavor enhancing ingredients. A total of 27 seven stainless steel blades would do the job of severing tough connective tissue, softening the meat in the process. Capable of holding up to 3 oz. of marinade (which for the kitchen challenged, is enough to flavor 2 lbs. of flank steak), the tenderizing blades will feature two depth settings to deliver optimal penetration of thick roasts or steaks. Not only that, when it goes up and about its job, it will not alter the meat’s thickness.
PocketStrings Portable Guitar Practice Tool
You know what they say – practice makes perfect. If you so happen to think that you are always on the verge of breaking out as a band, but somehow or rather lack that X factor, perhaps more practice is in order. Of course, sheer amounts of practice alone is no guarantee that your skills would be able to elevate you to a guitar god, as you will still need adequate opportunities to showcase your songwriting skills and all to make it as a musician. Well, if you are just starting out as a guitar player, perhaps you might want to use the $29.99 PocketStrings Portable Guitar Practice Tool as a training tool instead of a real guitar, as the highly portable nature of this device allows you to get your practice in just about anywhere without bothering others.
It will be accompanied by real guitar strings as well as frets in order to deliver a realistic practice session, the only thing is, you will not have the rest of the guitar with it. The PocketStrings Portable Guitar Practice Tool is diminutive enough to stow in your gig bag or pocket without weighing you down when you travel. Sliding it open will expose a section of a guitar neck with real frets and strings, and once you’re done, just slide it close and you’re well on your way.
Cambridge Audio announces Minx Go
When it comes to portable speakers, I guess you can say that this particular segment of the market has grown tremendously over the years simply because of a greater degree of mobile device adoption among the masses, not to mention better battery technology which naturally results in superior battery life, in addition to the advancement and proliferation of Bluetooth capability embedded in just about every modern day mobile device like smartphones and tablets. Having said that, the portable wireless speakers of today are what boomboxes were to a previous, bygone era, and Cambridge Audio intends to usher in a new reign of such portable wireless speakers by announcing the availability of the Minx Go.

Roccat intends to push gaming boundaries at Computex 2013
German companies are well known for their precision engineering as well as sheer build quality, and ROCCAT Studios certainly are not playing the fool by their presence at Computex 2013 which has ended this week. Using that showcase event in Taiwan to deliver news of major product releases, Roccat intends to roll out an optical version of the multi-award-winning Kone Pure gaming mouse, calling it the Kone Pure Optical Core Performance Gaming Mouse this time around. That is certainly a mouthful when you think about it, and it does make me wish that ROCCAT could revert to something that is a whole lot simpler. Apart from that gaming mouse update, ROCCAT also demonstrated the eagerly-anticipated Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard With Per-key Illumination, allowing the masses to enjoy the full capabilities of the keyboard’s unique, configurable lighting system.

SONTE Film delivers Wi-Fi enabled digital shade
Have you ever watched a science fiction movie that depicts how the future would look like? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you would know that some ideas in sci-fi movies of yore have actually made it in real life, and one of the more interesting aspects that I have seen before in the past wo
uld be the ability to manipulate your windows to switch from being opaque to clear in under a second, all with the push of a button. It is nice to know that modern day technology has finally caught up with this particular “dream”, thanks to the folks over at SONTE Film who has delivered a free smartphone app which enables users to turn SONTE Film “on” whenever you do not mind others at the office checking out what you are doing, or to turn it “off” for opaque windows. Pretty handy at places like police headquarters, especially at the questioning room, don’t you think so?
