Spin Code Key Ring

This “Code Key Ring” holds up to three PIN codes displayed in “an elegant and safe” way. Beyond that, I’m not really sure how it’s used. But I think it’s interesting. Buy it for a friend who likes Rube Goldbergian gadgets and they’ll be pleased.

Jelly Watch

This watch is like one of those old school holograms where when you look at it at one angle you see one thing and look at it another you see something else. To see the time look at it straight on, twist your wrist a few degrees to see the date, and angle it another way to display a range of emoticons. Why you would need to see emoticons on your watch, I’m not sure. They are annoying enough on your computer. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Tagalong bracelet

This bracelet requires the length to be adjusted to one’s wrist and then cut. The cut end is then to be inserted into the silver cube. A secure, permanent connection is thus made and the bracelet can only be removed by another cut.

bling-blink ring.

Yes, it’s really called the “bling-blink” ring. Maybe it’s because you have to blink a couple of times to make sure you’re really seeing what you think you’re seeing. Pardigm shifting the concept of the typical diamond ring one finger at a time.

Nooka V2 Watches

I swoon. The Nooka Zoo V2 (shown on right) and the Nooka Zot V2 (on left) gives me heart palpatations and sweaty palms. It’s too big for my dainty wrist, but goodness, if you’ve got an arm hefty enough to hold such a fine design why not buy it? Watches as nice as this are worth the investment.

“The Nooka Zoo V2 sports a full-face mineral crystal lens. Smudged? Just wipe clean on your designer t-shirt. New features include a chronograph for timing poker games, and an alarm for morning wakeup. Patented design, stainless steel, measures 35mm x 35mm x 9mm. Waterproof.”

Puma Nuala Sneakers

I’m not sure if you’re in the relentless pursuit of comfortable yet cool looking shoes like I am, but if you are, dear friends, I think our hunt is nearing it’s end. Let us pretend just for a moment that one pair of shoes could ever quench our neverending desire for more footwear, and I ask you consider Puma’s Sneaker Sock from Christy Turlington’s Nuala line. Intended for yoga and other indoor uses, I think these would be perfect for city walking too (assuming it’s not raining). I’ve seen these in person and I really regreted not buying them for about a year now.

“In soft bronze-metallic nappa leather, they’re a logical choice for both lunging and lounging indoors. The liners hide cushioning pillows under key stimulation points, and their stretch mesh sides and flexible soles let you push your โ€˜limbernessโ€™ to the limit.”
