RoboReel Retractable Cord Reel
This is the first retractable extension cord reel I have gotten excited about. This retractable cord reel (and the hose reel which I really want) are both made by Great Stuff and are truly well thought out gadgets. I would almost call them over engineered… but I personally think that is what makes great products. […]
Bacon Scented Candle
One of the few non-gadget items we frequently allow on the site is anything related to bacon. In this case it is a bacon scented candle by Meat Maniac. This 16-oz jar candle has a 75-85 hour burn time and smells dead on like bacon. Perfect for the bacon lover or the prankster who wants […]

New Mophie Juice Pack Air = Thinner And More Power

Amazing Extending Glass Table
Regardless of what incredible meal you serve on this over engineered extending glass table… the table will outshine the food. Sad but true. The Astrolab dining table (by Roche Bobois) starts off with crystal clear glass so you can watch the polished gears which are used to extend and retract the pair of extensions. I […]
