I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical reason for perching a pair of elf ears on your car. No really, there has to be some sense to this … Maybe some kind of vehicle-based Lord of the Rings LARPing action? Hey, let’s see you come up with something better!
The Elf Car Costume comes with ears that are a sorry excuse for Middle-Earthian appendages, and a completely inexplicable striped hat for your grille that would look far more at home perched on the noggin of a Where’s Waldo cosplayer. The product info states that the elf ears are easy to install on rolled-up windows. A design requirement or a safety precaution, given all the insults and ridicule that will likely be hurled in your direction? Only one way to find out!

Writing this blog is awesome, but totally dangerous for my nonexistent cash flow, as I keep discovering little obsessions I never knew I had. For example, did you know that robots could be so adorably d’awwwww? First it was the geekishly precious robot salt and pepper shaker, and now I’m all melty over the handmade robot greeting cards by lrhbindustries. Not only is the drawing all wistful and lovely, but the binary code actually translates to “MISS”, making this a perfectly nerdy and thoughtful gift for that faraway internet paramour of yours. There are also super sweet birthday, thank you, and robot Valentine’s Day cards to choose from, and really affordable at $3.50 a pop. (You’d spend that much on a generic Hallmark card, and trust me – paper crafts are much more keepsake-worthy!)

The first time I ever heard about the steampunk genre was on Second Life, of all places, and although the clothing and accessory styles are a bit bold for my tee-and-jeans tendencies, I love the idea of having steampunk art pieces, gadgets and gizmos around the house. The Steampunk Gameboy rocks my socks because it not only reminds me of my days as a fan of Nintendo’s hand-held game console, but it turns the sadly obsolete Game Boy into a thing of unique, artistic radness. And it’s functional too! Designer and console modder Thretris reworked this one of a kind DMG-01 Gameboy with a new audio output that’s a cool addition for chiptune musicians – but the console still works perfectly for your old school gaming needs as well. Personally, I’m the type who would frame this up in a shadowbox as an homage to my tender years as a gamer. Or I’d bury it in a time capsule with the hopes of thoroughly mystifying an anthropologist hundreds of years from now. :)

“Any way you want it,
That’s the way you need it!
Any way you want it …”
The second I saw the fabulously random and awesome Thinking Putty, all I could think about were the lyrics to Journey’s classic tune. Because literally, this stuff will do just about anything. No srsly! It stretches (but also tears); bounces (but also shatters); drips and melts (yet can hold a shape perfectly) … It’s wild!
The standard Metalics Thinking Putty is great for stress relief or just plain ol’ fashioned fun, while the Magnetic Thinking Putty has all the elements of the classic while adding magnetic attraction to its unique and creative mix. And if you’re wondering about Thinking Putty vs Silly Putty, just look for the video and photos on the product page. As a devoted fan of the latter while I was growing up, Thinking Putty’s unique abilities puts it to shame. You won’t be able to figure this stuff out, but you probably won’t be able to put it down either!

This is one of the raddest ideas I’ve seen for making candles truly bitchin’. Oh sure, they work wonders for setting the mood for some smexy love-makin’ (cue the Barry White here) or for a relaxing, “Lifetime Movie” inspired bathing experience. But you can love your candles and indulge in a wicked sense of humor with these awesome candle shadow casters from Evolution Laser Works.
Outside of being a really fun way to spice up your walls during the Halloween season, these candle shadow projectors are just plain fun! And the laser cut Mahogany is decorative on its own as well – no flames required. But if you’ve got a romantic flame, there’s nothing like the threat of a zombie attack to spark some terrified cuddling. Mmmmmm, BRAINS!
