Are you the next Spy Kid, or do you dream of being the next 007? Hone your spying skills with this radio-controlled Porsche Cayenne from Tchibo that has a camera, which transmits to your remote handset. It has a 250K-pixel camera on the windscreen, which transmits all it sees to a 2.2-inch color LCD monitor. You can adjust the brightness on the remote control itself. However it cannot record what it sees neither does it have any sound function. There are 4 driving functions (forwards, backwards, left, right), along with suspension, light-up headlights, and a bumper to protect against collisions, 2 speed settings and there's a rechargeable battery. The receiver also needs 6 x AA batteries that initially included.

Lego sets and Dominos still hold fascination for most of the guys. I guess you never outgrow these toys that are a miniature version of the real thing. If these toys are a working model of an original machine, then it’s like a cherry icing! This Steam Engine is a working replica of the original steam-powered locomobile that were used by European farmers at the turn of the 20th century for threshing and plowing. This German make has a 2" diameter brass boiler that produces hefty steam to drive the double-action, dual-flywheel cylinder in forward or reverse. Just fill the boiler with water, light a dry spirit tablet and when the boiler is hot enough the steam powers the engine and hear the whistle blow.

Some ‘vices’ die away soon, some follow us home. The Home Video Casino Machine by Hammacher belongs to the latter group. The whole system is tabletop and so it can be termed as ‘portable entertainment’. The machine can accompany you across the globe and work in most civilizations, thanks to the makers providing it with ability to accept 98% of the world coins (bet the 2% left out are those who need this machine the most). The player comprises of games like Draw, Deuces Wild, Bonus, Double Bonus, Double-Double Bonus, Joker's Wild, and Double Joker's Wild. The machine acts like a real machine from a machine from a Vegas casino. The brilliant touchscreen LCD provides with an impressive User Interface and increases the interactivity between man and machine. It has the typical flashy lights that start off every time a lucky soul hits a jackpot. Cute, isn’t it? Sure is. One look and a gambler will go like, “aww…” The money that’s won is ejected out from the front. The money can be removed anytime you are held hostage staring into the barrel of a gun (sounds like an adult piggy bank). It is powered by 3 C batteries or an AC adaptor.

The Tyvek Wallets not only look different, but also feel so. Unlike the typical leather wallets, these come in rather snazzy and vague looking coats (or should I say disguises?). There are three differently styled wallets available under this label: one is an airmail envelope, the other, some kind of a computer printout and finally a newspaper to pick from. Rather innovative and smart too. After all how many pick-pockets would be on a look out for a worthless tri-language news paper sticking out a teenager’s pocket? That’s about the looks of these innovative money holders, as for the toughness and use, these are worthy of praise. As Firebox explains, Tyvec is actually the name of a special material that has the properties of film, paper and fabric. It proves to be strong and resistant to attacks by chemicals, humidity and tear. Being thin and light, these wallets are easy to carry and minimize the bulk that most leather wallets have. They also prove to be quite useful when it comes to carrying credit card and scanning cards.

We all know how cumbersome it is to carry around the iPod in our hands. It’s easier to stuff it in our pockets or get the sports edition where we put it in armbands. Many clothing companies have come out with innovative solutions by integrating the iPod into the clothes itself. Almost a year ago Kenpo became the third company to offer a jacket with iPod integration, following in the footsteps of Burton and O'Neill. The Kenpo Bonded Fleece Jacket Made for iPod is quite light and the fleece lining makes it very warm. The three zippered outer pockets protect your belongings very well. The inner pocket is replaced on the jacket's left side with a lined pocket for your iPod barely bigger than the iPod/iPod mini itself. There is a controller that plugs into your iPod that sits in a pocket next to it, and a larger pocket for storing earphones, extra wire, or anything else is there below it.

There are many ‘bum-warmers’ in the market, but the most stylish has to be the Do Nut bag. It’s a different take on the beloved Sit on It-beanbag that got its cult status on the show ‘Big Brother’. Shaped like a Doughnut, this revolutionary design is made from fade resistance (due to the PU-coated polyester coat), flame resistance and moisture resistance material. Drag it out to the garden and spend a blissfully lazy summer day or cozy-up on it indoors, with a hot cup of coco on a cool winter morning. Sleek and modern, the Do Nut will compliment your house perfectly. The filling of ‘virgin quality’ flame retardant EPR beans, make it the best your money could buy. As the beans are more uniform and stronger than others, the Do Nut adapts to your contours perfectly.

This phenomenal cup saves you and your loved ones from needless social embarrassment and physical distress. You now have the power to completely control your painful, discomforting and disruptive hiccups.

Bring the local flavor to your living room with this amazing chrome effect Pub Optic drink dispenser. The rustic charm of this dispenser as good as any pub!

If you get excited using stuff that’s not only complicated but also confusing then take a look at the 1000100101 Watch from TokyoFlash. The Binary Clock we told you about earlier is a baby in front of this. 1000100101 Watch is an interesting watch, cause the time is read with the help of the LED lights. No points for guessing that the watch is called ‘1000100101’ because it’s the binary code for binary LED watch. A typically 60’s feel to this watch makes it more appealing, as it is made with a brushed metal face and leather strap with a carbon fiber style coating. It uses 31 green, yellow and red LEDs to display the time, date and day of the week and an auto light up function every quarter of an hour between 6pm and midnight.

Admit it…….You're a James Bond 007 film fan! Everything about him is so cool….the hot babes, the well-groomed suits, the hi-tech gadgets, the swanky car and his perfect diving partner - The Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Casino Royale’. Casino Royale provides a great exposition through which Daniel Craig completely earns the right to introduce himself as "Bond, James Bond." The Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Casino Royale’ is a potent combination of technical complexity and aesthetic elegance. The Planet Ocean model is identified by its distinctive bezel, which recalls the original Seamaster 300 metre models, albeit with a choice between classic and highly contemporary interpretations of this historical theme. Meticulous attention to detail resulted in a slightly different bezel design with a model taking on a resolutely sporty look.

Hammacher is offering us a chance to heighten our spirits on cold winter evenings, which soon shall be making their way into nearby bars and pubs. The featured glassware has the distinctly noticeable golf balls at the stem of their wine glasses. Now what really makes this stand out from the rest is the ability to personalize the crest that’s imprinted on it. And to add to it we have a guarantee that these crests will not suffer the harsh treatment that we normal subject the glasses to (especially during wash) thanks to them being “fired” on to the glasses that makes sure they remain. So here we have no worries about pitting and chipping. This crest can bear up to fourteen characters of your Bar’s name (apologies to those who have elaborate names).

Fall is here; beat the chills with this cool military style Sniper Shirt from G-Star. Though it is made from 100% cotton, it warm enough to carry you through. Its long sleeves make it more like a jacket and it has a cool embroidered design on back makes it hip. The gray cuffs on green accentuate the styling. Team this jacket with cool shades and bring out your military boots. Dude we promise, you're set for the Kill!

They introduced their first perfume, the very popular Pink Sugar, in 2004 and Chocolovers in 2006. And now the much awaited Blue Sugar fragrance for men from Aquolina is now up on the Sephora website. Blue Sugar is a delightful harmony of caramelized sugar and vanilla blended with heady notes of cedar and tonka bean. Spicing it up are the energetic notes of licorice, patchouli, lavender, and coriander, freshened with crisp bergamot and mandarin, and finished with soothing notes of anise.
