The Robo Vacum - Desktop Robot Vacuum

First to recommend

What kid wouldn't like his or her own personal vacuum...it may even get them to clean up the table. I'd like to turn a set loose in my car after a road trip.

Celestial Globe

3 people recommended this item

Description

Just another geeky gadget I'd love to have. I think I could totally impress some boys with this celestial globe. It has light sensors so when you turn off the lights, the blue LED kicks in and displays constellations all over the globe. Great for kids and romantic soirees. Find a constellation and go outside to try to find it!

Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

The Sonic Bomb Clock has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels (just for reference, a jackhammer is about 100 decibels!) And the bed shaker does just that. Slip it under your mattress and your ears will bleed and your bed will shake, and there is no way you will oversleep. Or, you could turn the sound alarm off and tape the bed shaker to your office chair. You'll be vibrated awake without disturbing the drones.

Electronic Bubble Wrap Keychain

15 people recommended this item

Description

One of the single greatest gifts (and curses) to anyone who is a little anal retentive is bubble wrap. Sure it's good for protecting packages, but the real joy is popping each and every bubble. You can't let even one survive or your mission as bubble popper has failed. But what happens when you desire the joy of popping bubble wrap but don't have the time to invest in popping a full 60' roll? Welcome to the future, my friends; electronic bubble wrap is here.
