The half dozen pairs of Hammer pants in the far corner of your closet might come back into style, but the mixtapes intended for your high school crush that are crammed into three shoeboxes with accompanying love letters?

We know how much effort you put into the perfect puppylove playlist of Tears for Fears and Babyface on those tapes, but your crush got married eight years ago. It's time to let go.

Pop those cassettes into the USB Cassette Deck, digitize them into MP3s, and reorder those songs into a new mix on your laptop, updated for 2007.

Burning the love letters, though, is up to you.

Super-Sized TV Remote

7 people recommended this item

Description

Wasn't the remote control supposed to make tv-watching easier and faster?

Now we spend more time setting it up, searching for it when it's lost, and trying to find the "ON" button. Let's not even talk about figuring out which of the eleven remote controls you're supposed to use for your seventeen devices.

The Super-Size Remote Control is a 6-in-1 remote control that's so big, you'll never lose it. Giant, glow-in-the-dark buttons make it easy to use both day and night, and it's simple to set up.

Horntones

4 people recommended this item

Description

We don't talk to each other in monosyllabic monotone, do we? And yet when we're trying to communicate (ever-so-politely of course) with our fellow drivers on the road, a simple bleat from you car's horn just won't do. They won't know if that "beep!" is "Hello" or "You complete me."

For driving discourse that requires a little more creativity beyond the standard "honk!" you need Horntones, a fully customizable car horn sound system. The system is "Plug and Play," with a player that mounts on the dashboard, an audio amplifier, and weatherproof speakers that go under the hood.

Though the system comes with factory-uploaded sounds, you can customize your sounds with a huge variety of mp3 clips available from the Horntones website.

We're pretty sure the guy going 45 in the fast lane will understand you when you start blasting the A-Team theme song.

USB memory keys from Swarovski and Philips

22 people recommended this item

Description

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

But so is data.

While crystals aren't exactly diamonds, you can accessorize with something at least as valuable, and just as sparkly - USB flash drives.

Philips and Swarovski have partnered to create Active Crystals, a line of USB flash drives that fuse fashion and function. Heart Beat, one of four different models, is a heart-shaped, crystal-encrusted pendant that open up to reveal a USB connector. The drive features built-in password protection, because for you, 1 gig is definitely worth more than 1 carat.

The Active Crystals line is available this month.

Bendi Light Up Keyboard

11 people recommended this item

Description

Who said you can't disco on your keyboard?!?!

Actually, we don't think anyone did.

But if someone did, we'd roll up our Bendi Light-up Keyboard and smack some electric blue sense into them. The light-up keyboard features soft-touch, quick tactile action, which is quieter and more comfortable than traditional hard plastic keyboards. Made of silicone, the Bendi is flexible, virtually indestructible, and waterproof.

Waterproof - that's for those times you disco on your keyboard in the pool.

Also comes in pink and white.

LaCie - Huby

24 people recommended this item

Description

We can't decide if we should gaze upon its visually interesting design, coo at its cute little orb shape, or be afraid that its tentacles might attack us.

Whichever way we choose to appreciate the look of the Hub designed for La Cie exclusively by Ora Ito, in the end, all that matters is that the USB and FireWire combination hub for both PC and Mac is unequivocally functional.

Four USB ports and 2 FireWire ports connect up to six devices. The Hub also comes with a USB fan, a USB light, a USB extension cable and a FireWire 400 extension cable.

With that much connectivity, maybe we ARE a little afraid.

In addition to its mad cleaning skills, it has its own travel case.

Gold iPod Shuffle by XEXOO

33 people recommended this item

Description

"Gold....Always believe in your soul. You've got the power to know. You're indestructible, always believin', because you are...gold."

Here's to hoping that you're just too young to remember the lyrics to Spandau Ballet's "Gold," but not too young that you can't afford the $19,000 price tag on a solid gold iPod Shuffle to play your favorite tunes.

Spandau Ballet not included.

** It may not be solid gold, but an iPhone is probably just as good. Don't forget that you have ONE WEEK LEFT to enter our iPhone giveaway! **

Quik Pod

13 people recommended this item

Description

It's a little bit of a nuisance, isn't it? You and yours just happen to stumble into a picture-perfect moment, something you've got to capture on film for the scrapbook. Or the wedding reception slideshow. Or for your MySpace page.

And you have to flag down some suspicious stranger to take a photo of you two. Not only is the moment gone, but who knows if that polite stranger is going to dash off with your camera?

Perfect for all the outings you have planned this summer, the QuikPod lets you take photos without having to take any risks, and keeps your photos free of the obvious outstretched-arm-reverse-hand-camera-too-close look.

Riding Vacuum Cleaner

11 people recommended this item

Description

It is way too hot this summer to stay inside and do household chores, especially on the weekend. And vacuuming? That's like punishment.

Instead, let the kids do it! Kristina Anderson has designed a vacuum cleaner that's just the right-pint-size for kids to ride. They'll have fun zipping around the floor on the Riding Vacuum Cleaner, and you'll have fun...just because you don't have to do a thing.
