Ghost Lamps

Hazel Chua — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 01:23:09 +0000

I feel bad sometimes for those ghosts on Pac-Man. You know, the ones with the funny names (Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde), because while they’re almost as integral to the game as Pac-Man is, there are rarely any merchandise that have been made in their likeness–until these Ghost Lamps came along. I mean, all I’ve [...]

Bang! Desk Lamp with Remote Control

Hazel Chua — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:20:59 +0000

I admit, I’ve had the urge to shoot my alarm clock (especially on Monday mornings), but I haven’t yet had the urge to shoot my desk lamp (because it doesn’t wake me up or annoy me with alarms, even though that’s the reason why I bought it in the first place.) You won’t have the [...]

Slide Light

Hazel Chua — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:35:00 +0000

Remember those old View Masters that you probably had when you were still a kid? The one that looked like futuristic binoculars that allowed you to view images in slide wheels when you faced a source of light? Well, the Slide Light sort of works in a similar fashion, except it’s a whole lot bigger, [...]

Top Shaped Coat Hook

Hazel Chua — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 20:00:37 +0000

So I say, “Put your coat where your passion is.” If you’re really into social networking, then the Facebook Like Hanger will do the job for you. If you’ve got a thing with cursing (or with wanting to stop or at least curse less), then the Novelty Finger Hooks might be more to your liking. [...]

Doorganizer

Hazel Chua — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:13:12 +0000

I’m always running in and out the door of my house before leaving for work or for a night out because I’m always forgetting to bring either my phone or keys or pen with me. Sometimes I waste over ten minutes just running around, just gathering all my stuff. It would be pretty convenient to [...]

Glass Tommy Gun Vase

Hazel Chua — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 03:25:20 +0000

Vases that take inspiration from guns are a whole lot more common than you think. Maybe it’s combining something so tough and garish to something as dainty as something that holds flowers, or maybe that’s just what’s in these days. Place your freshly-picked flowers from the garden into the Gun Flower Vase and reserve the [...]

Facebook Friends Poster

Hazel Chua — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 06:34:41 +0000

Ever since it hit the scene a few years ago, Facebook has become the social networking site to connect with friends, family, old flames, and current ones. Some people are more strict when it comes to approving friend or connection requests, while others add friends like there’s no tomorrow. To get an idea or overview [...]

SpyNet Laser Trip Wire

Hazel Chua — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:18:45 +0000

You’ve seen those television shows and movies where the heroes rush into a vault, only to find that it’s been equipped with some sort of laser security system that will alert authorities (or cause some other form of response that’s often violent) once the laser beam is interrupted. Now you can create your own laser [...]

Carton Pillows

Like the Facebook Like Pillow and the Twitter Follow Pillow, these Carton Pillows will make a fun addition to the ones that you’ve already got on your couch. Of course, they don’t provide the function that real cartons do (unlike the Pillow Remote Control that’s really a remote), but they’re definitely unique. Drawing inspiration from carton boxes, [...]

Novelty Finger Hooks

Hazel Chua — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:45:47 +0000

Manhole Doormat

Hazel Chua — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:15:51 +0000

Slow down there buddy or you might just fall into the manhole. But if it’s the Manhole Doormat that’s sitting quite prettily (in a grungy sort of way) on your doorstep, then by all means, give it a good stomp lest you bring in all that dirt and grime from your shoes into the house. [...]
