Aire's approach, a robotic home assistant that flies autonomously, is verrrry interesting. Especially considering my first order of business when I catch something flying autonomously around my condo is to swat or Bug-A-Salt...

TimerCaps call themselves "one simple change, that changes everything." And indeed the replacement caps for prescription bottles are clever, and a potential fairy godmother, on a couple of levels...

My mama gave me a jar of this Fresh Wave Odor Removing Crystal Gel, I guess because she thinks my house stinks. Hey, it's not me, it's the cat. And maybe She-Ra: Princess of Power. I smell like sugar and pumpkin spice...

I don't like the Icky Stick just because I get a kick out of its branding schtick. I mean, that's the biggest reason, but so too am I interested in this hand pipe's claim that it has been "specially designed to provide...

Clearly, the forces behind Rug Pad USA came up with the idea for a memory foam rug pad while jumping on the bed. Heyyyy, this cushion o' body-conforming comfort feels pretty good on my feet and toeses too...

One time I threw a boomerang and it came back and sliced me in the neck. So I'm glad to see this Boomerang Memory Foam Pillow is here to cradle and support and eliminate pain from my neck, and maybe make some amends for...

I found some new cereals for your Sunday brunch. They're called Special Kanga Kush and Lucky Choo Choo Charms. You can eat them from this glass breakfast bowl...

They say the Smoak Pipe "looks and feels just like an authentic hand rolled Cuban cigar." I can't testify to how the wooden stogie feels, but I'd say it looks a little more like a short staff for stick fighting in martial...

This Frost Pipe isn't made of no corn cob, and it's not for kiddies building snowmen (or kiddies at all.) This Frost Pipe is a 3-piece freezer mold that lets you DIY your own pipe out of ice. What the Ice Luge is to drinkers...

The Magic Weighted Blanket uses a therapeutic approach similar to the Gravity Blanket we saw here last month, with a couple of key differences: 1) The Magic Weighted Blanket is made of baby-bunny-soft chenille and sold...

Blinded by the light / Sucked it up like some juice / Powered my tech all through the night. SolarGaps window blinds aren't your average smart home addition. They don't just auto-open, close, and adjust based on environmental...

The Gravity Blanket is like a big, wraparound, hours-long hug. John Fiorentino created his weighted cover as a therapeutic tool for those who find themselves stressed, anxious, and/or sleepless at night...

CliniCloud set out to create a home medical kit for those with decidedly non-medical backgrounds. Its small zip-up pouch contains a non-contact thermometer and a digital stethoscope, both of which connect to an iOS or...

Even fire extinguishers have succumbed to the pressure of making every piece of crap I own stylized, customized, and personalized so that it's uniquely representative of ME! Saving lives and avoiding burning down my girlfriend's...

Time to surprise my girlfriend with a romantic night by the fire. And a romantic fire filled with human skull fireplace logs. Who knew bone made such fine kindling?...

Who'd-a thought Darth Vader could grind? It looks like the Dark Lord has added pulverizing your favorite herbs and spices with an Exorcist-caliber 360-degree spin of his head to existing his repertoire of menacing, saber...

They say Ruggie is "LOUD." In all caps. It's the equivalent of "a blender going off in your bedroom." Also, the floor mat alarm clock must sense the pressure of your feet for at least 3 seconds before it stops its LOUD...

I might like to go to a Black Tie event as my gift for Valentine's Day this year after all. They got any with Girl Scout Cookies around the Northern Lights? Black Tie Grinders is an independent shop out of Ohio that feels...

The SnapPower Guidelight: saving half-asleep feet from always-on-point LEGOs night after night. A series of LED bulbs built into a standard outlet cover plate, the Guidelight draws power from both sides of your outlet's...

If the Neti Pot sinus cleaner requires a little too much manual labor for your clogged-up head's liking, check out the Navage, a battery-operated automatic nasal irrigator. Instead of the Neti's gravity-conducted movement...

PenSimple can't deliver a drop of ink to paper, but who cares? Once you use the portable herb grinder to dispense a round of green you're not going to have the focus or fine motor skills to write anything down anyway...

What is it they say, "Once you pop, you can't stop?" This Pop-Out Outlet from Legrand's Adorne collection is definitely the Pringles of the electrical fittings world. The hideaway outlet has plugs on 3 of its 4 cubical...

Beggars can't be choosers, but can they be your Valentine? Awwww, Hobo Bear. I bet my girlfriend, She-Ra: Princess of Power, has many a spare hug for you. What's that? You'll take a fiver and a joint if she's got that...
