Beer Bottle Goblets
Drinking from the bottle has never been as classy, thanks to these Beer Bottle Goblets ($25/2-pack). Made from reclaimed Grolsch, Sol, or Corona bottles, glass artisans cut away the bottles' bottoms, and reuse them, bonding them to the bottles' former tops to create a robust foot. The result is a surprisingly stylish set of glasses that remind you just what it is you're drinking.
Multi-color LED Lightbulb
Add some flash and color to your next get together with this Multi-color LED Lightbulb w/Remote ($50). Compatible with standard lightbulb sockets, the 5 watt LED bulb is super bright, and with the included remote can be set to any of 16 specific colors, or can be set to transition through them using one of four effects: flash, strobe, fade, or smooth. The remote also lets you turn the LED on and off and adjust the brightness level, so you get just the right amount of the color you want.
Wood Grain Rug
It may not sound like a stellar idea, but putting this Wood Grain Rug ($109-$749) on top of your wood flooring works pretty damn well. The carved soft wool pile rug ranges in sizes from 2.5' x 7' to 9' x 12' and comes in espresso brown only.
Monkey Picked Tea
We haven't sampled this rare tea yet, but anything that's hand-picked by monkeys has to be good. Loaded with antioxidants, Monkey Picked Tea ($25) is, as the name implies, picked by specially trained monkeys in a remote Chinese village.
Exotic Jerky
Up until this week, we would never had considered ourselves jerky connoisseurs. But that was before the folks at House of Jerky sent us their Give It Some Game pack ($57). Filled with some of the best dried meat we've ever tasted, the pack doesn't include your average convenience store jerky — you get a nice selection of Buffalo, Venison, Ostrich, Elk, and, our definite favorite, Alligator. All of it had a great taste and texture, and we can easily say it's the best we've ever had. If you don't want to splurge on the variety pack, you can buy each separate, or choose from tons of other flavors.
Cube Jigger
It's not easy trying to eyeball drink measures, so ditch your two-sized jigger for one that covers all the bases. The Cube Jigger ($20) is an aluminum, square-shaped jigger with the six most common liquid measures represented on the six different sides. Inspired by traditional box-shaped sake cups, the Cube is sure to help you become a better, more precise barkeep. via
Logitech VX Nano Mouse
Ditch the nasty USB dongle that comes with most wireless mice with the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse ($53). It comes with a tiny nickel-sized dongle that stores inside the mouse for travel, and features a frictionless scroll wheel, forward and back buttons, five programmable buttons overall, extremely precise laser tracking, and an included carrying pouch. Plus, it promises nearly six months of use from just two AAA batteries, making it perfect for forgetful road warriors.
Nike Air Goadome Boots
Nike isn't exactly known for bootmaking, but its Air Goadome Boot ($150) looks to change that. It features a full-length Air-Sole unit to keep your feet comfortable, metal hardware, a solid rubber outsole with a lug pattern for increased traction, and a waterproof leather upper for protection against the elements. Add to that the fact that they look surprisingly good with jeans, and you got a winner.
Family Guy - Freakin' Party Pack
This Peter-approved DVD set includes Family Guy Vol. 1 (Seasons 1 & 2), Vol. 2 (Season 3), Vol. 3 (Season 4, Part 1), Vol. 4 (Season 4, Part 2), and Vol. 5 (Season 5, Part 1), as well as the Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story movie. The Family Guy - Freakin' Party Pack ($105) also comes with Family Guy ping pong paddles, net and balls, a bunch of poker chips and cards, and a clear plastic carrying case.
Nokia N82
If you're looking for a new phone with features rivaling the Nokia N95 but in a more pocket-friendly size, look no further than the Nokia N82 ($650). It packs in a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus lens and xenon flash with video recording mode, and also features Wi-Fi, microSD expansion, a 3.5mm headphone jack, assisted GPS, and a 2.4-inch display. It has quadband GSM/EDGE, but unfortunately for US-based Uncraters, its HSDPA is on the 2100MHz band.
Kettle Fire and Spice Party Pack
Spice things up this holiday season with these fiery limited edition chip flavors, found in the Kettle Brand People's Choice IV: Fire and Spice Party Pack ($15). Endure such flavors as Wicked Hot Sauce, Mango Chili, Jalapeno Salsa Fresca, Orange Ginger Wasabi and Death Valley Chipotle. And after you're done sweating, hop onto Kettle's website to vote for your favorites, and maybe they'll show up in stores to punish another hapless soul.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Nevermind that it's one of the only PS3 games worth playing, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock ($100/PS3 or 360, $90/Wii) is also the latest in the smash-hit Guitar Hero series, and the first to be available for all three next-gen consoles. Along with the benefits of an all-new wireless Gibson Les Paul controller, the game features over 70 rock anthems, new multiplayer modes, and all-new venues. Rock out.
Pirate Self Portrait Mirror
Add a little "Arrr!" to your routine with the Pirate Self Portrait Mirror ($48). Designed by Jeannie Choe & Steven Tomlinson, this 16"x12" mirror adds an eye patch and parrot to your ensemble anytime you line up in front to check yourself out.
The Midnight Card
From the makers of The Douche Card comes another simple, sleek card that gets the point across with little left to the imagination. The Midnight Card ($5/25 cards) says, "This face leaves at midnight, be on it...", and if that isn't straight-forward enough, the other side features an image of David Hasselhoff, circa 1985. Perfect.
Onkyo HT-SP908 Home Theater System
Finally, a real home theater in a box. The Onkyo HT-SP908 Home Theater System ($860) delivers 1080p video and studio-master-quality audio, including DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, all in a complete, affordable package. The HT-SP908 includes a powerful 7.1 channel A/V receiver with HDMI 1.3a, HD conversion DVD/CD/MP3 player, and a set of slim, wall mountable speakers with 230W powered subwoofer. Onkyo even throws in a matching iPod dock. All in all, a pretty sweet setup. [via]
Sony Ericsson K850
If you're looking for a camera phone that will let you ditch your pocket cam for good, check out the Sony Ericsson K850 ($630). Packing a 5 megapixel sensor, the K850 makes the most of it with features like an automatic lens cover, xenon flash, and auto-focus. Of course, it's a phone too, and features 3G HSDPA and EDGE internet access, expandable storage via Memory Stick Micro (M2) or microSD, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and more.
Zippo Hand Warmer
Even though it's still unnaturally hot for this time of the year (hi, Al!), we're still stocking up for the cold months ahead. First on our list is the Zippo Hand Warmer ($20). This little guy gives you constant warmth for up to 24 hours with just 0.4 oz of fuel, and produces more than 10 times as much heat as disposable warmers. Its slim profile is perfect for pockets, gloves or tighty whiteys. [via]
Wi-Fi Detector T-Shirt
Finding a wireless internet access point can be a pain sometimes, so do yourself (and your gadget-toting brethren) a favor by sporting the Wi-Fi Detector T-Shirt ($30). It boasts a glowing animation on the front chest that dynamically displays the current Wi-Fi signal strength in the area. It's like having Spidey-Sense, only for wireless internet. [via]
Flux Hoodie
Ditch your plain sweat jacket for this Flux Hoodie from prAna ($68). The waffle hoodie with bonded sherpa on the inside also features a tonal screen and embroidery art on the front left chest, and 100% cotton construction makes sure you stay comfortable and warm.
Wine Flight Set
Go beyond the average host and offer your guests a wine-tasting experience with a Wine Flight Set ($130). It includes two espresso-finish trays, eight Reidel stemless wineglasses, and an erasable pen with ceramic plaques to identify the wines or to mark scores. A perfect way to introduce friends to new wines, and jump start the conversation at the same time.
PUR Flavor Options Faucet Mount
We've been trying out this PUR Flavor Options Faucet Mount ($50) for the last few weeks, and couldn't be happier with the results. It looks great on the faucet, provides clean, refreshing drinking water, and the flavor cartridge provides results on par with most flavored bottled water. If you're thinking about picking one up, don't forget to grab some extra cartridges, available in strawberry, raspberry, and peach ($10).
Diesel Fuel For Life
Based solely on the looks of the bottle, Diesel Fuel For Life Spray ($45) might be the best fragrance on Earth. Luckily, it still smells damn good, with notes of star anise and pink grapefruit. Complement the spray with Fuel For Life After Shave ($43) and Fuel For Life Shower Gel ($28).
Bandai Hex Robotic Bug
While probably not the most useful gadget you'll ever buy, the Bandai Hex Robotic Bug ($19) is still a super cool desk toy. Coming straight from Japan via Uncrate sponsors AudioCubes, the Hex Bug reacts to sound and avoids obstacles with a few claps. Take your pick from five different bug types, or collect them all for an electronic infestation.
Moo MiniCards
With more uses than we can possibly list here, Moo MiniCards ($20/100) are the coolest paper-based product since toilet paper... or something. The roughly 1.1 x 2.75-inch cards feature any image you want on one side — from your computer, flickr or one of Moo's designs — and text on the other side, like your name, phone number or a slick message — literally, whatever you want. For more ideas, check out the MiniCards flickr pool.
iPod Touch
Another day, another special Apple event. Steve Jobby Jobs today unveiled a new lineup of iPods, headlined by the iPod Touch (8GB $299; 16GB $399). Stealing the iPhone's multi-touch user interface and huge 3.5-inch widescreen display, the ultra-thin iPod Touch also sports built-in Wi-Fi for web browsing and buying emo albums with the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Oh, and Starbucks has given you one more reason to stop in.
Billabong Justice Sweatshirt
A large-scale plaid screen adds just the right amount of ornamentation to the front of the Billabong Justice Sweatshirt ($50). The comfortable hoodie features a drawstring hood, full-zip closure, front pockets, and is made from 100 percent cotton French terry. A perfect match for any Autumn event.
Forbidden LEGO
If you've ever felt like using your LEGOs for more than just building static objects, this is the book for you. Forbidden LEGO: Build the Models Your Parents Warned You Against ($17) is an unauthorized book full of awesome LEGO projects, such as a toy gun that shoots LEGO plates, a candy catapult, and a continuous ping-pong ball launcher. Written by a former LEGO senior designer and former LEGO senior product manager, it's the ultimate how-to for building rogue LEGO creations. [via]
Puma Scout Evo Sneakers
Mixing a little Vans with a little Medium, the Puma Scout Evo Sneakers ($110) are a great addition to your fall lineup. The stylish slip-ons sport a green suede upper with leather trim and logo stripe.
Zapz Custom Insoles
No matter whether your shoes were $5 or $500, unless they were custom made, they probably aren't designed to properly fit your foot — a problem that can lead to foot pain and bad knees. Zapz Custom Insoles ($60) replace your current cushioning, and use a microwavable molding gel to conform to your foot's shape, offering customized support for your arch and feet.
Hitachi Rotary Razaq
If you're more used to the feel of a blade, but want to go electric, check out the Hitachi Rotary Razaq ($150). This imported wet/dry razor features an elongated body to more closely match the feel of a standard blade-based razor, as well as omni-directional, washable blades, a 3,500rpm motor, and a rechargeable battery.
Fossil Veiled Watch
The Fossil Veiled Watch ($150) is a modern and formal timepiece worthy of anybody's wrist. Designed by Starck, the watch features a crystal that's specially electroplated to match the breaks in the thin stainless steel bracelet. [via]
Logitech MX Air Mouse
Wow, the future really is almost here. The Logitech MX Air Mouse ($150; Aug. 2007) is a dual-purpose device that lets you control your PC from your desk or in the air. The wireless laser mouse integrates some crazy motion-control and gesture command technology, allowing you to do things with the flick of your wrist. With a sculpted, black and silver design, the MX Air also includes a touch-sensitive scroll panel, several multi-function buttons, and a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Sadly, it only works with Windows.
Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router
Belkin's sexy new N1 Vision Wireless Router ($200) has the brains to back up its beauty. The N1 features an interactive display that shows you the activity of your network, including download and upload speeds, bandwidth usage, and the number of connected devices. The router — compatible with IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n draft 2.0, and 802.3ab specs — also offers plug-and-play, CD-less installation for easy network setup.
Grand Theft Auto IV: Special Edition
If you're as pumped about the first next-gen GTA as we are, this should be a no-brainer. Grand Theft Auto IV: Special Edition for Xbox 360 and PS3 ($90; Oct. 16, 2007) packs everything a fan could want into an awesome package, that includes a customized GTA metal safety deposit box, the game (with special packaging), The Art of GTA IV book, a special soundtrack CD, and a Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit keys. All of that gets stuffed into a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag, making this possibly the most worthwhile video game special edition we've ever seen. [via]
Tsubo Incan
Sometimes we get sick of all the retro sneakers and want to strap on something a little more modern. Available in several different colorways, the Tsubo Incan shoes ($94) are lightweight, sport a hook-and-loop closure system, and make us feel like we're living in 2007. [Thanks, Chris]
Optimash Prime Mr. Potato Head Transformer
We've seen movie-themed potatoes before, but with the release of Transformers on the horizon, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Optimash Prime, the Mr. Potato Head Transformer ($10). He's modeled more on the 80's cartoon Optimus than the version we'll see in theaters soon — and yes, we're going, even if Michael Bay is a no-talent clown — and he even comes with a mini semi-truck, just in case you forgot what he looks like when he's not, you know, a potato.
Dean & Deluca Spices w/ Rack
During a recent move, this Uncrate editor left his spices behind — and has been looking for a nice all-in-one solution for replacing them. The Dean & Deluca Large Metropolitan Rack w/ 34 Spices ($195) is a little expensive, but it also includes virtually every spice you might need, including large tins of basil, chili powder blend, and more. Small tins of spices including cayenne pepper, ancho chili powder, whole cumin, Hungarian paprika, and more round out the set.
Pro-Chip Island Golf
Give your golf swing some poolside practice with the Pro-Chip Island Golf set ($47). Drop your chipping pad beside the pool, float the target and take turns with family or friends trying to get closest to the flag. Up to four players can compete against each another.
Mario Batali Pizza Set
Pizza delivery is convenient, but if you want the best pie possible, you have to make it yourself. The Mario Batali Pizza Set ($170) includes everything you need to bake your own pizza at home. The set includes a soft grip pizza wheel, a flexible turner, a plastic counter scraper, measuring prep bowls, silicone rolling pin, measuring spoons, mozzarella slicer, garlic slicer, pizza pan, pizza peel, and a work mat.
Puma Grit Cat III
Somewhere between sporty and casual lies the Puma Grit Cat III ($90). The motorsport-inspired sneaker sports a leather and synthetic suede upper with a carbon fiber heel counter for stability.
Fatboy Headdemock Hammock
Last week we showed you the hammock for deep pockets, so we figured this week we'd show you one that won't put such a hurting on your bank account. The Fatboy Headdemock Hammock ($400) joins the company's beanbags as simple, versatile furniture. Made from a coated nylon material, the hammock's fabric needs only a quick wipe with a damp cloth to stay clean, while the metal tubing base holds everything in place. Available in nine colors, you're sure to find one that suits you.
Puma V-Star Sneaker
Tired of plain white Summer sneakers? So are we. The Puma V-Star Sneaker ($75) brings some color back to your everyday attire with a terrific, textured textile upper with a rich leather trim. If the New Navy/Golden Poppy isn't quite your style, check out the Spray Green/Covert Green combination.
Reef Dram Sandal
Reef, the stellar sandal company that brought you the bottle opener-equipped Mick Fanning Sandals, is stepping up its game with the Reef Dram Sandal ($45). Not content to simply open alcoholic beverages, the Dram includes a polyurethane encapsulated flask in the heel, good for smuggling liquor into pretty much any event you can think of. Plus they're from Reef, so they're probably pretty comfortable — but after drinking all the Beam you've hidden in the heels, we doubt that will even be an issue. [Thanks, Ryan]
Perpetual Calendar
Professional office settings require guys to give up their swimsuit calendars. Add some pizzazz nonetheless to your cubicle walls with this Prepetual Calendar ($38). This eternal calendar lets you move the two magnetic balls to mark the date and month. It’s made of injection-molded plastic and magnets.
Chimay Beer Glasses
Get your beer buzz on like Belgium monks via these Chimay Beer Glasses ($9) and the book Brew Like a Monk ($13). The glasses, made in the traditional style, hold 12 ounces of monastic brewed goodness while the book teaches you ancient Trappist brewing techniques without needing to enter the religious life.
Diesel Sonstripe Shirt
Finding button-ups to distinguish yourself from the sea of plain solid-colored shirts out there isn't always an easy task, especially when you want a shirt that can pull double duty in both the board room and the champagne room. The Diesel Sonstripe Shirt ($134) fits the bill with a nice robin's egg hue and embroidered same-color vertical stripes. The 100% cotton construction keeps the shirt feeling great on your skin, and the slightly athletic cut makes sure you'll look your best.
Cocktail Carousel
Get the perfect amount of alcohol for your next cocktail party with this Cocktail Carousel ($50-$60). It dispenses a single 1.5-ounce shot of your favorite loaded beverage and reloads the dispenser for the next drink. The carousel stylishly holds four or six bottles upside down and can rotate between each with ease.
Stainless Steel and Concrete Ring
A lot of guys don't like the idea of wearing rings for fashion — they think that it might somehow make them "girly." Well, there's nothing "girly" about this ring. The Stainless Steel and Concrete Ring ($170) keeps it real manly with a wide, thick stainless band that has a core inlay of concrete. Wear this, and display your man ring with pride. [Thanks, Jason]
Volcom Weirder Chino Pant
They may look like dress slacks, but these are made to be worn with tees and sneakers. Volcom's Weirder Chino Pant ($50), available in black or grey, feature a side vent, back welt, and cell pocket, and are a great alternative to the khakis and jeans you keep rotating.
Darth Vader Mimobot USB Flash Drive
We've been fans of Mimobots for some time now, and anytime that you take something that's already cool and add Star Wars licensing, it only gets better. The Darth Vader Mimobot USB Flash Drive ($80-$170; Jan. 07) is available for pre-order now in one of three capacities (1GB, 2GB, and 4GB) and is only the first in a series of Star Wars-themed Mimobots. Limited to a run of only 3500, these are sure to sellout quickly, so if you want to have a Sith guarding your data, you'd better hurry. [via]
Guess Simon Dobby English Shirt
This great button-down shirt from Guess sits right between formal and casual — perfect for a night out. The Simon Dobby English Shirt ($80) has got subtle vertical stripes and long sleeves with double cuffs. If black is too dark for you, Guess also offers a starlight blue color. And remember, a crewneck undershirt should not be worn with either.
Magnetic Ring
When it comes to rings, we like them simple, elegant, and with a good fit. The Magnetic Ring ($25) offers all those. Made from three nickel-plated, powerfully magnetic arches that can be added or removed to fit, it also comes with four spacers of different shapes to alter the ring's fit and design. [Thanks, Dave]
Tiffany 1837 Titanium Pendant Necklace
Yes, you read that right — "Necklace." It's been a long time since any of us wore a necklace, but it's been a long time since we've seen a necklace this cool. The Tiffany 1837 Titanium Pendant in Galaxy ($300) is a masculine mix of sterling silver, 20" of rubber, and titanium — making it the perfect accessory on the beach, in the club, or anywhere else it's acceptable to show a little bit of chest.
Mas Mejor Mojito Set
Mmm, mojito. One of the many things we wish we could still go down to Havana to get — that, a fine cigar, etc. — a real mojito, made in the traditional way, is still the undeniable king of summertime refreshment. With the Mas Mejor Mojito Set ($40) you can now make these wonderful drinks at your place. The set includes four tall 16 oz. glasses, a proper wooden muddler, and a quality citrus knife — everything except the ingredients.
Mr. P Wine Stopper
We've been fans of the notorious Mr. P for some time now. He's quite a guy, always using his man junk to help you out. This time, he's preserving that bottle of wine you heard about on Cork'd. The Mr. P Wine Stopper ($12) comes in gray/orange and white/green, and is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you plug up the cabernet.
FiveFingers
Summertime always tempts folks into running around barefoot — a decision that more often than not is a bad idea. FiveFingers ($70) feature a new shoe technology that, like the Nike Free 5.0, allows the wearer to have the protection of shoes with the added muscular benefits that barefoot activities bring. The Vibram sole follows the contours of your feet and toes, while individual toe slots allow for independent movement of your "little piggies." [Thanks, Ike]
Coach Level Keyfob
If it's finally time to ditch that lame "I Don't Do Mornings!" keychain that you've been carrying around since 1998, take a look at this super sleek Level Keyfob from Coach ($38). Not only does it just look cool, it may just come in handy from time to time. It's nickel-plated and comes matching high-quality keyring.
Konzuk Metalwear Ring
It may have a name more befitting some obscure electronics component, but the ring more than makes up for any beauty the name may lack. The Konzuk Metalwear KMR130-p Ring ($170) makes a perfect color-coordinating accessory for your favorite ensembles. Made from stainless steel, the ring also features a powder-coated section in one of nine different colors. Go ahead, wear it as a pinkie ring and declare your love for the criminal underworld.
Riedel O Sake Set
Continuing the simple, stemless elegance of Riedel's O line, the Riedel O Sake Set ($40) features two stemless O series sake taster glasses designed to complement the flavors of sake that hold 13 ounces each, as well as a small decanter with a similar design that holds about a little more than 15 ounces. Now we just need to fortify our liquor stores with some more high-end sake and we'll be good to go. [via]
Ombre Polo
Summer is coming, and as this week's golfing experience reminded us, it's time to grab some new polos. The Ombre Polo ($42) is a sweet choice. in a world full of solid colors, its gradient design from dark on bottom to light on top really sets it apart from the Polo/Tommy crowd, and the 100% cotton knit will keep you comfy on those warm days.
Sumo Omni Chair
We're always fans of products that have that rare mix of versatility and good looks, and we think this is one of them. The Omni Chair by Sumo Lounge ($180) is essentially a beanbag chair, but with a unique oversize design. This Uncrate editor has been testing one for about two weeks now, and whether we're using it like a chair, platform, or floor pillow, it's remained comfortable — but don't, I repeat don't have a bean bag fight with one — it's a little too heavy.
Motorized Pool Lounger
While we won't be able to test one of these out for a few more months, this sounds like our type of product. As if floating around on a raft isn't lazy enough, we bring you the Motorized Pool Lounger ($150). Along with the requisite cup holder, it also features dual independent power and directional control. That, and you can emulate Uli the Nihilist in the utmost comfort. [via]
Imation Flash Wristband
As convenient as the small sizes of today’s flash drives are, they also carry with them the problem of easily being lost. Fortunately, Imation has come up with a surprisingly not-too-bad-looking solution — the Flash Wristband ($TBD).The drive features 256MB of memory, and a simple design that allows the ends of the band to plug into one another. Oh, and about 50,000 “Geek” points with your techie buds. [Thanks, Jesse]
Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker
Yes, that’s right — “flavour.” This jewel is for our friends over in the UK. The Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker (£19.99) is a little kitchen gadget that grinds, crushes, and bruises all sorts of ingredients into great rubs, marinades, and dressings. Inside the sexy outer shell is a ceramic ball that does all the work for you. It won’t make you as good a chef as Jamie, but it certainly couldn’t hurt. [Thanks, Brett]
Loch Ness Imposter T-Shirt
We’ve all heard the stories of the mysterious Loch Ness Monster — and no, we don’t mean the one who asks for $3.50. This fun Loch Ness Imposter T-shirt by Ross Zietz ($15) plays on the legend by picturing a squid holding a “Nessie” head on a stick. Funny without being in-your-face tacky.
Armani Exchange Reversible Shirt
Simple button-down shirts are always good to have around, as they are good-looking as well as versatile — but not as versatile as this. The Reversible Shirt from Armani Exchange ($70) is available in two colors, each with a contrasting shade on the other side. Very cool, and very handy for after-work hookups when you’ve gotta go back in the next morning wearing the same thing — just flip the shirt around and no one will be the wiser.
Corona Lime Slicer
Ah, Corona — the only beer that needs fruit to make it taste correctly — specifically, limes. Make that process easier with the Corona Lime Slicer ($16). This simple device readies eight slices at a time from one lime, and will also ready lemons for iced tea and other drinks. [via]
Jetstream Wallet
Believe it or not, you can still be considered a man if you own multiple wallets for different occasions. There's no shame in owning a couple. If you've relegated yourself to a boring black or brown leather one for years, now's the time to branch out a bit and grab a colorful one like the Jetstream Wallet ($45). Remember, women pay attention to little things like this.
Crock-Pot Indoor Barbeque Pit
As winter approaches, some of the best things from summer go away, such as ladies in skirts and lemonade stands. Now you can hold on to at least one of them — real barbecue. Designed for slow-cooking, the Crock-Pot indoor Barbecue Pit ($120) lets you cook authentic BBQ indoors anytime of the year. With features like a domed lid, a dishwasher-safe stoneware pan, and a cooking rack that can hold up to three racks of ribs, you can keep tailgating in your kitchen all year-round. [Thanks, Ted]
Nonstick Burger Press
Ever wish your summer cook-out burgers could come out looking perfect like in those beer commercials where everyone is chilling by the grill? Now you can with this Nonstick Burger Press from Williams-Sonoma ($24). This puppy can smash down two perfect patties at a time, and features a rosewood handle and a, um... nonstick surface.
Ice Shots
We'll try to refrain from the cool jokes. This thing is a Frozen Shot Glass Maker ($9) that you fill with juice, freeze, and then pour in your favorite alcoholic drink and enjoy. We can't think of anything cooler than drinking your shots from a glass made of ice. Damn, we tried. You'll be the coolest dude at the party. Dammit!
Adidas Originals Rod Laver
They don't get any more classic than this. Perfect with jeans, khakis or shorts, the Adidas Originals Rod Lavers ($64) have been popular with people in the know since they were introduced in the 1970s with the help of the tennis great. The old-school kicks feature a nylon/mesh upper, two-color polyurethane midsole, and respect from any sneaker aficionado.
Kelsyus Backpack Beach Chair
It may not look like much unfolded, but the Kelsyus Backpack Beach Chair ($40) has a super handy feature that, like its name implies, turns the chair into a backpack so you can use both hands for more important things (such as beer and snacks). Like a Transformer, the chair's armrests turn into padded shoulder straps, letting you take this puppy anywhere. And surprisingly, it doesn't even look that dumb on your back. It has a built-in mesh drinkholder and can be ordered with a canopy to keep you in the shade.
Mr. P Keychain
We didn't think we would ever find another household character that would top the Mr. Suicide bath plug — but we have. Mr. P ($12) is a tiny plastic man who holds your keys on his, um, his stainless steel manhood.
Floating Pool Hammock
The only thing better than relaxing in a hammock is relaxing in a Floating Pool Hammock ($30). It has an inflatable perimeter that floats while the mesh in the middle cradles you and keeps you moist. The pillow is icing on the cake.
Diesel Hugo Sneakers
I picked up a pair of these at the mall last weekend and couldn't be happier with my purchase. They're just the right mix of modern and retro, and are about the only white shoes I saw that weren't blindingly white. The leather and suede Diesel Hugos ($90) will keep you looking great all summer long.
