Hot In The Hive: Smart Planet Mini Cupcake Maker

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver since Carrie and the gang from “Sex and the City” step foot into Magnolia Bakery for one of their cupcakes, the worldwide craze for the frosted sweet treats hasn’t died down since. While I’m busy budgeting for my designer shoe fund, bag fund, and oh yeah, bills, I can’t always indulge in a $4 treat everyday. That’s why the Smart Planet Mini Cupcake Maker is so handy. This gadget makes 6 mini cupcakes in just 5 minutes with recipes included. If you think about it, it’s also quite health conscious since you’re eating a mini sized cupcake instead of a regular sized one (but there’s no saying that all 6 could disappear within minutes!). Of course, you can also make mini muffins, cornbread and other treats but cupcakes are definitely #1. Like they always say, when you want things done right, do it yourself. Now I just have to figure out how to automatically frost them.

Price: $16.95

Hot In The Hive: TearDrop Waterproof iPod Speaker

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDon’t be embarrassed. So you like to indulge yourself in some tunes while showering — no big deal. Who doesn’t? Now, with the TearDrop Waterproof iPod Speaker, you don’t have to rock out a cappella while you wash, and your roommates won’t have to hear your out-of-tune vibrato echoing through the paper-thin walls of your apartment. The speaker’s cute teardrop design simply unscrews to open, offering a sturdy perch for your iPod (of almost any make or model), and encloses it in a safe and waterproof shell that will let you have your jam session in any splash-prone zone — beach, pool, shower, kitchen, etc. Just try not to have too much fun while you’re washing dishes in rhythm with the latest Britney single — save some water for the whales!

Price: $58

6 Geeky Gimmicky Cameras That Are Way More Fun Than Your Canon!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhether you’re a true studied photographer or simply rely on your iPhone and TwitPic to document your daily adventures, nowadays everyone’s got the photo bug in some form or another. But have you noticed that despite the ever-increasing accessibility, portability and quality of cameras with all the latest tech developments, all the newly released digi gadgets have just started to look and function basically the same? Quick and convenient, sure, but borrring! Bring the creativity back to picture-taking and add some variety to those thousands of extended arm self-portraits you have tagged on Facebook with a novelty camera. Print photos instantly on the go with the Fuji Instax Camera (no need to scrounge around for your USB cord!), or create pop art portraits with the Pop Cam from Fred Flare. These novelty cameras aren’t exactly a practical replacement for your usual point-and-shoot, but they’re a fun addition to anyone who loves living behind the lens! Take a look at the slideshow for the 6 quirkiest cameras on the e-shelves today!
