Wi-Fi Fan

This fan from ATYPYK is a low-tech way to keep cool while paying homage to the high-tech. The flashing of the fan makes it look like there’s active Wi-Fi to passers-by, who will be drawn to you like moths with their portable electronics and laptops seeking connection. |via UberReview|

Kiss-O-Meter

I am curious about the technology behind this since the sense of smell is one of the most befuddling to science. But as complex and complicated as it is you know bad breath when you smell it. Unless it’s your own. Hence the brutal nature of halitosis. You just don’t know when your breath should be bottled for use in chemical warfare due to acclimatization. I knew a girl whose breath was so toxic it filled my entire car when she rode in it. Needless to say we never got beyond the "nice to meet you" phase. This gadget is supposed to be able to give you a signal whether you should go in for the smooch or not. It provides five ratings: Kiss me, Possible, Maybe, Risky, and Never. |via BoingBoing|

Luncheon On the Grass Tablecloth

This new tablecloth/picnic blanket from ATYPYK featuring Manet’s controversial painting provides the perfect setting for a romantic picnic with some friends. After the orgy everyone can go home sated.

LightLane

This is a concept that needs to become reality. From designers Alex Tee and Evan Gant, combine the LightLane with bike lights and high-visibility clothing and it should help significantly reduce the number of bicycle-automobile accidents. The light projects a lane wherever the bike goes, creating a space around the bike that helps alert drivers to the buffer required for bicycle safety. |via Core77|

Flexible Embrace Can Holder

On such an historic day as this, we should all hug each other. Feel the love! |via Trendhunter|

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

No one should have to be at work on this day. If you are, call in sick tomorrow as a makeup 🙂

Travelmate Portable Fireplace

Imagine showing up at a dinner party carrying your own fireplace. Your host wouldn’t know to be pleased or insulted. I guess it depends on if it’s a potluck or not. This portable fireplace can be used indoors or outdoors on pretty much any surface, including carpet, linoleum, and grass. Runs on bio-ethanol liquid fuel so you don’t have to pull behind you a wheelbarrow of firewood, which would make the convenience of a portable fireplace as meaningful as a foot-powered SUV. |via Book of Joe|

Herbal Slippers

I always get the image of the Looney Tunes where two guys are stuck on an island and one looks at the other and his friend turns into a hot dog when I encounter these herbal remedies for your various body parts. These slippers can be placed in the microwave or freezer for heating or cooling treatment. They’re packed with lavender, rosemary, chamomile, peppermint and lemongrass herbs to make your dogs feel just right. Kick back with these herbs on your feet and some herb between your fingers and you’ll be feeling just right in no time. But then you’ll get the munchies and everything will look like a hot dog.

Plantable Journal

Every day there are thoughts, insights, and feelings that flash through our heads that we forget or disregard. They’re like the seeds of our minds that scatter in the wind. Maybe you should write them down. Keep them for when you’re old to remember what kind of a person you were as a young man or woman. This journal takes the symbolism even further. When you fill a journal you can plant the covers and wildflowers will grow. If you have a big enough garden, then one day you’ll be walking barefoot over the flora of your wishes and dreams.

Earthlust Stainless Steel Bottles

In an effort to be more responsible and healthy I’ve been using a SIGG bottle to satisfy my hydration needs. Bottled water is wasteful and, evidently, bad for us. But I see everyone carrying the same bottles. Individuality is not something you have to sacrifice any longer just for being eco-friendly. These bottles from Earthlust have pretty graphics on them that will shout to the world that not only are you more ethical than they but you’re also more stylish. Superiority is always to be cultivated. |via Monkeyzen|
