Awesome Fender Amplifier Guitar Store Front

Now this is one awesome store front! I wonder if it looks as awesome when it’s open?

Did you ever see the Fender Guitar Table and the Rocking Portable Amp from Marshall?

Toxic Spill Coaster is Drop-Drink Gorgeous

Coasters are coasters are coasters. But every now and then, something unique comes along and makes an impact…

These Toxic Spills glowing coasters will do just that, in the light and in the dark! Get 4 in a set for just $11.95 (about R85).

They look awesome, are easy to wash and will certainly add some personality to your drinks!

Animal Weight Categories – What Are You?

Sometimes we have to face the truth (despite it being easier to ignore). That’s why this Animal Weighing Scale won’t tell you exactly how much you weigh, instead they will make a rough comparison…

animal-scale

Just hop on the scale and you’ll be told your weight by way of a regular animal. So for a mere £25.99 (about R314), you can find out if you’re up there with the baby rabbit, duck, pig or bear! Get it in a variety of colours over here.

Light Up Your Phone Line

Did you know that the trickle of power a normal phone line carries (even if out of service) is apparently enough to light up this LED desk lamp?

The little phone plug is called an “RJ11 connector” and for just $4.69 (about R30) the lampcan be used as a handy emergency light for your next power outage. Who cares that it’s pink!? Get yours here.

Surrender to the Beer Liquid Shooter

This is something that every soda/beer drinker should have nearby or preferably holstered:

beer-blaster-liquid-shooter

  1. Shake your unopened can of soda or beer.
  2. Slide into the reservoir holder of the Beer Blaster Liquid Shooter
  3. Lock the reservoir holder down – a small needle will puncture your can and the carbonation will give you the pressure needed to unleash your sticky liquid all over anyone with just the pull of the trigger
  4. Run around shooting beer at each other, or you could just sit on your butt and use your Beer Blaster Liquid Shooter to spray beer down your gullet. That’s what I like to do – hell, I’m doing it right now. Wheeeee.

Just remember, shoot responsibly and don’t shoot and drive!

Explosive USB Memory is the Bomb!

Now this is a simple concept that NEEDS to be made:

bomb-usb-by-joel-escalona

The USB memory stick was designed by Joel Escalona (Kudos), who reminds people too ignorant to figure it out themselves, that this drive was meant to sit on a desk, not be carried around. Sadly it’s just a design as of now, so you’ll just have to wait and see if it ever becomes a real live product…

Novelty Goldfish Trash Bags

No one likes to take out the trash right? But when you have these goldfish trash bags things may seems a little brighter out back by the trash:

The bags are made out of oxo-biodegradable plastic and are 100% biodegradable with 12 in a pack. Get ‘em here for  $15.99 (about R120).

Hand Crafted Foosball Coffee Table

This $600 foosball coffee table has a poplar frame, hand-carved handles and a tempered glass top:

If you’re a football fan of note, it may find its way into your lounge? For me, it goes perfectly in the games room or den of say, this awesome house.

Screw Keys!

These Screw Keys are a simple concept – two screwdrivers roughly the size of your average key. They are wide enough at the top to get a good grip, but aren’t unnecessarily bulky.

At $4.50 (about R35), they just ooze with convenience! Get em here.
