Money Monster

3 people recommended this item

Description

How many times have you heard someone say, or maybe you've said it yourself, "well, that just ate up all my money?" The Money Monster actually does eat your money, then gives a nice loud burp when he's done. Plus, he talks, wiggles his ears and flashes his eyes. (via Rare Bird Finds)

Ever forget to turn your cell phone ringer back on after a meeting or long day at work? Mopods let you know the phone is ringing by spinning and lighting up. Great icebreaker!

Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar, Silver

25 people recommended this item

Description

Any lunch box that encourages a balanced diet is okay with me. This lunch box includes a vacuum-insulated stainless-steel round jar with four food bowls that can be stacked inside, plus its own carrying bag. I also love it because it helps to keep your food fresh. Great buy.

MONKEY NYOKKI

First to recommend

Description

the japanese version of a Chia Pet!! LIttle nyokki with grass for hair!!

Website says:
MONKEY NYOKKI
Grow, grow, grow!
Nyokki means "grow, grow, and grow" and that's what a Nyokki does!
An adorable cast of original characters, Nyokkis are hand-made in Japan from glazed ceramic, shaped like an egg with little fabric legs. All five Nyokki are all filled with a soil media and rye grass seed. Nyokki are easy to grow - seeds germinate and grass grows to full height in less than two weeks.

Style Nyokki's "hair" or cut it and watch it grow again! Collect them all!

Mini Pet Cactus

this cellphone accessory actually contains a live cactus.... really. All you do is soak the dome every few months. A funny alternative to the cutesy mopod craze.
