If you are a Superman fan but shies away from his paraphernalia because you think its too kiddy? You need to check out this cool clock that has some amazing features. This is an alarm clock that will wake you up with the original Superman theme song. The time and the “S-shield” symbol can be projected to the wall or ceiling. The big “S” symbol also doubles up as the snooze button. The clock also has a FM/AM radio system. Use a 9V battery (not included) for backup and the clock will keep telling the time even if you lose power.
What we have here is a steely and absolutely sleek bar set whose looks match the suitcase of Mr. 007 himself. The motive of having something like this made in the first place is unknown, but since its here lets speak about it. The outer case, as mentioned, is made of solid steel and can absorb the impacts that a bar set has to put up with. Inside, it’s a complete bar toolkit. The ingredients include a bar spoon, a jigger, a strainer, a bottle opener, bottle sealer, a measuring cup (for the accurate perfectionists), ice tongs, a shaker and finally a wood pestle. The entire kit is made from stainless steel so it has a very steely, silvery effect on the entire setup. Feel bold and cool while enjoying your drink at the same time.

It also comprises of Jojoba Oil that makes the skin smooth and soft. Not all men have mastered the art of plastering themselves with body wash. So, the company has provided directions for use. its too simple to mess up, simply pour some amount of the lotion on your palm and lather it up with warm water. Then apply it all over your body and feel the relaxing touch spread around you and soothe you.
Football was, is and will always be a super sport, the world’s favorite. However with the dawn of gentlemen like Roman Abrahamovic over English clubs, the games commercial aspect has been magnified and scrutinized often (not that it was a paupers game before he came). In the English premier league Chelsea and Manchester United are among the big buck earners as well as spenders. Most people enthrall themselves with the economics of the game rather that with selecting the best goal of the week. To prove my point, I have the makers of Monopoly – the most famous spending lesson ever – to underline my statements. They have actually brought forth a version of Monopoly dedicated purely to the monetary condition of the two clubs mentioned before, Chelsea and Manchester United; an interesting concept that will surely take wings in our markets and toy stores. Let’s teach our kids the importance of money, the soccer way!
Minn Kota has devised a rather brilliant means of remotely maneuvering your boat. Basically a remote control, the tiny unit can be attached to your waist belt or worn around your wrist. Being water proof, it can be used by you even during underwater expeditions. The interface is very simple. It comprises of five buttons: Increase speed, decrease speed, steer left, steer right, propeller on or off. Hence, almost anyone can use it without racking his/her brains. Something like this is helpful for those who plan to explore shallow waters and have their boat filled with supplies go along with them – something like taking your dog for a walk. Fear of loosing a device as useful of this is always haunting because if it lands up in the webbed palms of some marine sea monster he may direct your boat straight into his abode. Anyway, maybe the makers thought of this too and hence made the device such that it rises up to the surface on being released from its harness.
Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizz...opening a bottle of Champagne is an art in itself. Master it with this Descorjet Champagne Opener. The primary goal in opening a bottle of Champagne is to control the cork and, of course, not to let much of the drink spill. The award wining design Descorjet Champagne Opener is here to take care of it and help you ring in your New Year's celebration! Open your champagne easily and safely, with a simple press of the lever. The cork is held within the opener, instead of flying out, and you still get the satisfying popping sound as the cork is removed. Just... gently... turn the bottle of sparkling wine or champagne until you hear a little "pop". A loud pop means that you've let out too much of the gas - usually with a good bit of the champagne! Like a magician still holding the cork, present your guests with the opened bottle and be prepared for the accolades. While this may be impressive, the next part is even better……pouring and drinking it!
Most alarm clocks are the same, but the Ventriloque Alarm Clock is different for two reasons. For starters it has a cool retro look to it. And secondly it has this amazing feature where you can record sounds and play them back as your wake up sound. So much better (and personal) than the clinical beeps that most alarm clocks have. Let your creativity get the better of you and record a personalized message on it and set the alarm for your partner, imagine the joy on their face when they wake up to your voice in the morning! Use it for yourself, and awaken to what you want to hear. Oh…and should you need to indulge yourself a bit, you can catch the zzz for an extra five minutes with the snooze feature. Just push the light on the front panel and catch the extra winks!
It’s winter and the snow plasters our pavements. Not exactly a time anyone sane would love some chilled beer flow down their gullet. But then Sanyo haven’t thought of this (probably). A pretty innovative and useful beer cooler by Sanyo makes all doubts of lack-of-consideration by Sanyo seem slightly nullified. After all, gizmos can be used anytime of the year. So waiting for May is something you can vouch for. The cooler has a pressure gauge and regulator, a draft arm and a keg tapper. Four casters facilitate the movement and the entire unit is UP approved.
A fantastic and fanatical craze had once settled upon planet earth and a bunch of such fanatics would embrace a pair of red underwear and a cape in exchange for their Superman plastic models. Yes, up in the air, not a bird, not a plane, but a pretty steely looking Superman t-shirt makes its way into stores. The shirt is 100% cotton and an honest effort to make you feel comfortable to fit in. So all you Christopher Reeve impersonators who need to excel in your impersonation, here’s something worth it. The shirt is available in various sizes including Small (38”), Medium (40”), Large (42”) and Extra Large (44”). The makers advice you to tumble dry the ‘costume’ and then have it dried.
We all must have seen the ancient obscenely massive Grandfather Clocks made of the finest wood and with brilliant finishing. Now analyze this; a block of wood with no real exquisite finishing that magically transforms into a deadly digital timepiece. It’s true. The Wooden Clock is a wonder in itself. Made with genius technology (still don’t know how it works), the clock magically displays luminous numbers on it. Sure makes a good sight for viewing, especially in dark environments. This one can make good business for Firebox given its novelty and cleanliness. By cleanliness I mean that it actually is without any attached buttons or knobs to go with it. These are neatly hidden at the rear of the clock.
If you are someone who feels that anything weird and unworldly wise is termed as ‘cool’ then you will love this product. A watch is something that needs to be simplified and easily understandable. Given that most people look at it when in haste or when in a fix, digital watches have an edge over analog ones in this hasty generation. The Fossil looks pretty much like a normal timepiece but its display surely is by no means normal. The watch makes telling time a bit of a puzzle. For ex: if the time is 9:52 then Fossil displays it as ‘8 til 10’. Not all that complicated but surely more cool.
