Pleo from Ugobe

16 people recommended this item

Description

What kid doesn't dream of a dinosaur for a pet?

The most technologically sophisticated toy robot available today is a prehistoric animal. Kids and adults alike will fall in love with Pleo. The dinosaur goes through various stages of development, is extremely responsive thanks to 38 sensors, and will let you know when it is happy, sad, scared or playful. Hold it by its tail, for example, and it will scream and thrash.

Pleo is simply the best pet with an off switch yet created.

The Remote-Controlled Robotic Hammerhead Shark.

Remote-controlled anything is always a good gift to give for any age. A remote-controlled shark, on the other hand, steps it up quite a bit especially if you like scaring people away! (via Notcot)

Rotating Recyclable Chair

2 people recommended this item

Description

For those of you that just aren't satisfied with "ordinary," may I suggest the Rotating Recyclable Chair. First of all, it's made from 100% recycled cardboard. Go earth! Second, it can be easily rotated into 3 different positions with just one hand (so they say): lounge chair, regular chair or a stool. And last but not least, the design is fabulous! (via whosdiary)

Charles & Marie: Tea Code

3 people recommended this item

Description

Believe it or not, not everyone drinks coffee in the morning. There are a lot of tea lovers out there and if you have one on your gift list, these tea cups are not only uniquely shaped, but they have an adorable button on the outside to wrap the tea bag string around so it doesn't fall into the cup!

Charles & Marie: Swimming Cap Toiletry Bag

First to recommend

Description

Swimming caps were horrible! But as a toiletry bag, I think they are adorable. They are "the same old rubber, the same small little air pockets shaped like a diamond, and it's even the same shape. In fact, these are the same swimming caps, made in the same factory that made them decades ago, but now they are refurbished with a big zipper and a small chain and tag for your name and make a splendid toiletry bag." For the swimmers on your gift list, these are terrific!
