iPhone glasses for your inner geek
I had to repost this, it has to do with glasses!
Don't worry, you haven't paid hundreds of dollars for a gadget with bad eyesight, these glasses are solely for keeping your iPhone upright when you're watching a video or taking a super vain self portrait.
The little suction cups ensure the stand stays in place and you can choose from a selection of different colours, geeky but genius!
Available from Gizmine for $39.99, which is a little pricey for a simple stand, but great for a quirky gift.

Sneakiest Bear
So Bear has learned the trick of hiding his pills in his mouth! I only discovered it when I have to force pill #2 down! Ugh.
The other day, Bear and I were struggling to get his 2 pills down because he kept moving them around in his mouth. So he spit up both. I put them down on his red rug and went to get a paper towel because my hand was all covered with spit. (And the pills get so slippery its hard to get them in his mouth...)
I came back and only saw 1 pill! After much searching, I learned that Bear put his paw on the smaller pill and moved it under his foot so I couldn't find it!
Sneaky Bear!

The Jellyfish Aquarium – the REAL Deal for your Desktop
So cool... I would want one of these....
We all know how relaxing fish are, but have you ever had the pleasure of watching real live jellyfish? I remember standing in front of jellyfish aquarium at Marineland and it was nothing short of mesmerizing. Even seeing them while out snorkeling is a sight to behold (as long as it’s not those blue ones with the long and nasty tentacles, but that’s another story) I have always found these creatures to be very beautiful. Don’t you wish you could have them as pets?
Well now you can! A guy named Alex who studied Marine Biology at Duke University used to make large commercial jellyfish tanks and wished people could keep them at home as well. Unfortunately jellyfish cannot be kept in standard tanks because they are easily injured or killed by the filtration systems. Alex designed an appropriate habitat for these delicate creatures, and the Desktop Jellyfish Aquarium was born.
The Desktop Jellyfish Aquarium began as another Kickstarter project that quickly reached its funding goals and is now in production. One simply orders the kit that includes everything you need to set up your aquarium, and once you’re ready, they send real jellyfish “live” rock and proper food, straight to your door.
The 7 gallon, crystal clear acrylic tank has a specialized built in filtration system and it has enough room to keep around 5 fabulous jellyfish. The kit comes with a nifty lighting system to give your new pals some high tech lighting and the tank works plugged into the US standard 120V electric outlet.
The kits come in 1 fish, 3 fish and deluxe sizes, with everything you need to get started, with prices beginning at around $285. I’d say its a whole lot cooler than a Hamster. To purchase, or for more information visit jellyfishart.com

Star Trek Inflatable Captain’s Chair
So awesome! I'm such a geek if I were 20 years younger I would totally get this.
You know for sure that something like the $24.99 Star Trek Inflatable Captain’s Chair stands a very good chance at being an April Fool’s joke over at Thinkgeek, simply because it sounds too good to be true. Sure, it is called as an officially licensed Star Trek product, and if you want to turn everyone in your home into a Trekkie, then you might as well start them young, no? Assuming the Star Trek Inflatable Captain’s Chair is the real deal from the get go, this unique piece of inflatable furniture is super portable – perfect when you are moving homes, as it is a snap to pack. All you need to do is open up the air release valve, and let everything out, leaving you with the easy task of folding it for convenient transportation.It is perfect to see who the choleric in the home is, and whether the little tyke is actually the one running the show on behalf of the whole family. Once Junior loves this chair to bits, it is time to teach him some foreign languages – like Klingon-speak, for example. Oh and by the way, this is no April Fool’s joke – it is the real deal.

Lawn Countertop Drying Rack
Yeah, I don't know about this. I can just see it now, mold spores growing at the bottom of those grass blades.
The kitchen is the place to be if you are one who loves whipping up dishes for the entire family, and more often than not, the perfect kitchen is one that is practical and not only looks good. After all, there is a place for everything, including leaving the dishes out to dry. The $27.49 Lawn Countertop Drying Rack is not only functional, but it will also throw back fun into the kitchen, boasting flexible grass blades that are ideal to ensure your glasses, cups, utensils and other kitchen accessories will remain in place to dry out. Whatever excess water will be collected at the bottom of the tray, where the evaporation process will continue the drying process after that. Coming in a two-piece, easy-to-clean design, not only is it low profile, it would also spruce up any kitchen.You won’t be able to practice your putt on this though, and best of all is, the Lawn Countertop Drying Rack is BPA, PVC & phthalate free. That ought to put the minds of homeminders to rest, especially in this health conscious age.
Spare One – The Extra Emergency Cell Phone
For those of you who simply can't live without your cell phones.... I wonder how much it's going to be??
Oh the mobile phone, what a love/hate relationship we have with them. I can’t even begin to imagine how we got along without them. I try to remember what it was like to be a teenager, one that didnt have a cellphone glued to the side of my face, or worse *gasp* a parent, that didnt have instant access to their child. A flat tire, forgotton milk or a traffic jam took on whole new meaning back then. Forget or lose your phone or even just let the battery die, and you’ll soon remember what it was like…
But now you can let the Spare One come to your rescue, the worlds only phone to be powered by a single AA battery, that alleges up to a ten hour talk time AND, if left turned off and unused is suppossed to be ready to go for 15 years? Yup, you read it right, 15 long years waiting in your glove compartment or disaster kit for just the right moment to save the day… and discrediting any “my battery died” excuses from both children and spouses…
So I can see the Spare One becoming the phone for folks who never use phones or an emergency only phone for you or your kids. It can be stored in the glove box along with your first aid kit and flares (you have those right?) for roadside emergencies. Which is really great for any “new” drivers in your family. Its the obvious choice for disaster preparedness, where charging your regular phone just isnt an option and it can even be used as a travel phone and loaded up with minutes for use only on your vacation.
The Spare One will begin shipping in march of this year and with a pricetag of right around 50 bucks I have a feeling they will be quite popular. Visit SmartOne.com for more information, or to get on the mailing list to be notified when they become available.

Hello Kitty KISS
Hahaha! Hilarious!
The sad thing is that although we all already know that Hello Kitty has completely sold out (think Hello Kitty vibrators or Hello Kitty Hooters), this doesn’t stop others from collaborating with the evil feline and confirming that they, too, have completely sold out. There really is no other explanation for the Hello Kitty KISS collaboration:
Of course, this does give perspective. All of a sudden all those Dr. Pepper KISS commercials don’t look nearly as terrible as they once did…
Sent in by far too many people who obviously need to find much more constructive things to do with their lives…
