ANGRY BIRDS – Electronic Handheld Game

Everyone knows all about Angry birds even a 3 years old plays the Angry bird on an iPad, iPhone or the computer – but who wants to share your iPad with your kids right?  and they drain the iPad and iPhone’s battery so quickly – it’s not funny at all.  But parents who wants to [...]

Banff National Park

Last year we were at Lake Louise Ski Area for a few days for a skiing trip with friends from Japan – we had bought some north face backpacks  for hiking at the Banff National park but didn’t make it there for we got too busy doing stuff at the Ski resort.  So this year – [...]

Projection Alarm Clock & Weather Monitor

Now I say everyone can use a projection alarm clock and a weather monitor – every morning – don’t you think?   For about $80 – from Hammacher Schlemmer – this clock has a built in sensor that tells you the time and weather condition.  I like that when I wake up in the middle of [...]

Gaming Rights

I brought the spouse out to look at some diamond solitaire rings for Christmas – but she is undecided as to which one to pick – she wanted some earrings too – and I had told her to go ahead and get it.  She said that perhaps I wanted gaming rights – when I buy [...]

Walnut Cable Catch

Simple and masculine enough for me – and if I wanted something to catch my cables – it would have to be this – no funky looking colored things that the spouse loved to buy.  But the walnut wood is very expensive at about $42 – so i think I’ll get my brother to make [...]

Gifts For Bachelor Party

The spouse insist of giving out gifts for a bachelor party to be held at our store – it’s a gaming session because the bride said no booze, no woman and no gambling – so we can’t head for Las Vegas – darn!  But since she found some cohiba cigars for sale  and bought them [...]

Right Gifts For The Right People

I don’t know about other people but the spouse and I try to buy the right gifts for the right people and not just because we have to buy stuff for people during Christmas. Many people buy just any gifts just because but the spouse is very specific on what I can get her – [...]

For The Cat

Why put your poor cat in a cage right?  it’s just not right – even if the spouse don’t like kitty like we do – the kitty still deserve something to crawl into at night.  This Native American Teepee is pretty unique isn’t it ? meant for your cats and made of 100% recycled cardboard [...]

Funky Desk Organizer

I could use something like that for my desk – because I’m a messy person and chuck all my stationary, pens and writing pads just about everywhere.  So when I need them – they are nowhere to be found – most embarrassing if I needed to write something important about a customer’s computer. This goes [...]

iXi Bike Breakaway

Will you really ride on this kind of bike?  in a suit?  I can’t see myself doing it – but if you were living in a city – well – this might even be better than a car.

Modern, Klutz-Proof Laptop Cases

A smart, sexy and fun laptop case was what Sloan and Meaghan wanted for themselves – but they turned it into a business eventually.   But they wanted also a tough protective case – to withstand the accidental drops and knocks.  Converts to a backpack easily and less than $100 – love the colors – quite [...]

Yellow Peanut M&M Boombox

I cannot believed that this thing will work – made with recycled material – no batteries needed – is said to be light and you can carry it anywhere you like – and of course – the unique designed used – but not original since it is M & M peanuts candy.  But you can [...]

Carry Case For iPads

If I had an iPad or a Kindle – I would love to have a carry case instead of just a folder case.  Why a carry case – it’s definitely easier to walk around with and not worry about accidentally dropping it while trying to carry other stuff – especially if you need to hold [...]

My best friend  is turning 40 next week and we all got together – to think of some 40th birthday gifts for him.  And since he is such a geek and a gamer – we decided to get a baker to do a birthday cake like the above.  Now that was easy – the real [...]
