I can hardly wait for these to be out at the end of September. What better way to spend your day than annoying your co-workers by tapping with this drum pencils every chance you get?
Now if they just had mini-skins to go along with them...

Description
I have had a version of this watch for several years now. It is lightweight, attractive and extremely durable. I have played baseball, done woodworking, cleaned dishes, banged walls and otherwise thoroughly abused this watch and you couldn't tell by looking at the watch.
The thin profile means this works well with any dress shirt as well. Highly recommended.

Aqua Vac Tigershark Robotic Pool Cleaner

Description
Like a Roomba for your pool, this robotic cleaner not only vacuums up dirt and leaves, but scrubs the tiles along the water line. I have a keyhole shaped pool and it manages to find all of the areas it needs to get to and does a great job cleaning.
Watching the Tigershark move around your pool is mesmerizing. It is particularly fun if you have a layer of dust on the bottom of the pool (after heavy winds for example), so you can see the crazy path it takes.

I don't like the idea of hiding speakers outside as fake rocks when I could use them as a design element instead. Reminiscent of oversized Dunnies, these speakers really appeal to me.

Description
The melted wax from this Ember candle is scented massage oil that is at a skin-safe temperature. I love the fact that the only clue to its real use is the subtle spout at one corner.

I love these DVDs! While I don't think I be going out and buying a whip any time soon, I intend on learning many of the other tricks in this book/DVD series: pencil spinning, basketball spinning, card throwing and some of the frisbee tricks are what are on my short list. The quality of the instruction is pretty high: the skateboard tricks I know are presented in a way that is very understandable.
If you have even a little bit of a show-off in you (and what guy doesn't?), you'll love these DVDs.

We started with a 4 pack of these magnetic kitchen clips, and we use them for so many things that we are up to 12 now. We use them to hold photos on the fridge, close potato chip bags, close coffee bags, hold notes, and even hold the bread bag closed when we break or lose those stupid plastic clips.

Description
Ever since some genius decided to make liquid soap only come in highly concentrated form I have been trying to find away to use the small amount now required in a reasonable way.
I tried the various sponge on the end of a handle thingies, but didn't like any of them. Unlike some of the other OXO products I own, it wasn't love at first sight with this palm brush -- but after a few months of usage I find that I always reach for it first. It is durable, rarely needs refilling, and just gets the job done.

Modest Needs Charity

Description
Modest Needs is the Web 2.0 of charities. Everything it does is transparent, funds are given based on voting from a distributed community of judges, it runs with very low cost and it is founded on a simple, but effective idea:
Poverty often starts with a small tragedy. The unexpected medical bill, the car that breaks down so you can't get to work, etc. These types of events can start the spiral down the credit card debt hole that you can't get out of.
A well timed gift of a relatively small sum of money can prevent this slide. A well run and rewarding charity to give to. (via Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools)

3"x5" Scratch Pads, White

Description
The initial UI sketches for ThisNext were done on 3"x5" scratch pads.
There is a certain freedom when brainstorming knowing that you intend to throw things away. 3"x5" scratch pads are perfect for that, they encourage crumbling a sheet instead of erasing allowing you to completely rethink your approach.
I have loose sheets from these pads full of writing all over my desk. By the end of the week they have all ended up recorded more permanently or thrown in the trash. Crumbling them up as they are completed is very satisfying.

120 roll film in a toy camera? Need I say more?
Actually, I guess I do. This camera forces you to let go of your internal perfectionist because it just doesn't have the ability to produce perfection... You and the camera collaborate to create the photograph. You supply the framing and the subject, the Holga camera supplies random light leaks and a large square image. A match made in heaven if you aren't a contral freak.

Description
Perhaps it is cheating to recommend two versions of the Moleskine notebook, but the small rule-lined Moleskine I keep in my back pocket feels completely unrelated to the large sketchbook that I do UI design in.
Yeah, you read that correctly, I still do UI design with pencil on paper. This isn't appropriate for actual mockups, but it takes you really far when you are working out ideas. Using higher fidelity tools often makes it harder for me to focus on the user because I am so focused on the aesthetic I use the sketchbook because the pages erase extremely well and are very durable.
My kids' drawings and doodles fill half my current notebook. It is a communal, portable art gallery.

If your creative tendencies are more verbal than visual, more introspective than rhetorical, more emo than intellectual -- having a notebook that inspires those traits makes writing much easier.
I admit that for the sake of my masculinity I probably would have a tough time carrying this notebook in public, but I wish I could.

If your writing instrument is a tool to let people know who you are, get a fountain pen. Stick with a major brand so people can easily recognize that you are someone to be taken seriously.
If instead your writing instrument is a tool to create with, get a good quality pencil. One that feels right in your hand and as it moves across the page. This Palomino is a good place to start.

The uncostume -- just throw some glow in the dark gel on your hair (or use it as body paint) and go as a glowstick... I am one of those suckers who always gets the glow in the dark necklace at amusement parks, so the idea of having the glow without the necklace is really appealing.

Description
An indispensable tool for those that routinely mistreat their magazines and catalogs by ripping pages out to remember things.
I can remember how wrong it felt the first time I tore a page out of a magazine, even though the magazine was headed for the recycle bin. It felt like such a violation... Now I routinely do this but often can't remember which item it was that I was interested in.
This neat tool allows you to quickly and safely cut out the specific thing that caught your eye. The extremely small blade will not hurt you, you can even through this in your pocket. It is fasty and easy to use, unlike the several other tools I experimented with before finding this one. When I first heard about this ages ago from Cool Tools, they were sold out. I randomly checked back and they were finally in stock. A must have. (via Cool Tools)

Wow. Gorgeous.
This ultra-light, ultra slow flying plane makes it possible to fly inside normal size rooms. It isn't cheap (~$300), but it supposed to be virtually indestructible and comes with a custom aluminum carrying case. There is a cheaper version, but it is made of materials that would be easier to damage.
The plane recharges off the transmitter which runs on AA batteries.
