This massively wacky tooth care set, featuring what must be the world’s only bacon flavored dental floss, is either brilliant or disgusting – and my best guess is that it’s a little bit of both. Along with the aforementioned pork-flavored variety, the breakfast floss set also comes with coffee and waffle flavors. Got a little leftover breakfast stuck in your chompers? Wiggle it free with some waxed bacon floss, baby! Open wide and say yummmmm. ;-)

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!

I just love the look of decorative globes – although my own sense of global positioning is woefully lacking. (When I was growing up, I thought that the direction in front of me was always automatically north. I guess I really was the center of my own universe!) So even though I might not be able to point out Seychelles or Liechtenstein, I can still appreciate the awesomeness of the City Lights Earth Illuminated Globe. As it slowly rotates, various cities begin to illuminate – mimicking what it might look like if you were viewing various parts of the earth. So pretty! It reminds me of those spiky fiber optic lamps I used to love in the ’80s – except this is all educational and lacking in lameness. So there’s that.

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!

It’s March 14th, pi-nally! (I’ll wait a few minutes for you to stop chuckling at my punning GENIUS.) What is Pi Day, you ask? Naught but a cheeky holiday – nay, celebration! – observed by quality nerds and math enthusiasts the world over to celebrate the Greek letter of Pi ( π ), which is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi = 3.1415926535… so it’s only fitting that March 14th (3.14) = Pi Day. And now that you’re all edjumacated, let’s look at some awesome holiday-themed gifts that you’ll absolutely pi’ne over. (Somebody, stop me!)
There’s an awesome collection of “math appreciation” and Pi Day Gifts out there, but my favorites are the Albert Einstein action figure (“go go, Gadget Relativity Theory!”); the fantastic – and refreshing! – Pi shaped ice cube tray; and the t-shirt with its iconic symbol constructed from the first 4993 digits of Pi. Freakin’ genius!
