While this item might be stretching the definition of gadgets, it's hard for us to resist something that looks like a shoe. These stilettos made of soft rubber are the classiest or rather, the least classiest door stops that you're ever likely to see. They are available in black or red and retail for $10.78.
Here is a gadget that McGuyver would approve of. The Belt Bottle Opener isn't made up of any fancy circuitry but it certainly is practical. For just £9.95, think of all the energy you'll save from never having to get up and head to the kitchen again when you want to crack open a drink. This one is definitely a must for bartenders.
Wrist angels are slim bracelets of a sort that have a quick-flick case on them stuffed with natural essential oils. When you feel the need to perk up, flick open the cover. Breathing in the Wrist Angel's natural vapors promise to work mysterious wonders on your body. There are three blends to choose from - "Soothing Stress", "Purely Positive" and "Powerful Pick-Me-Up". For example, "Purely Positive Angel gives you a boost of confidence, as and when you need it." We're a bit skeptical, but there are some people who swear by aroma therapy. Wrist Angel Kits retail for £5.95 and are available in black, hot pink, baby pink, khaki and biscuit.
Lately, whatever the latest pop-culture phenomenon is - it ends up on a T-shirt, like " Paula's Fallen and she can't get up" to " Team Aniston" or " I-pod, do you?" It looks like this trend has moved to underwear as well. It may not be as hot as saying "Free Katie," but I know a couple of geeks out there who wouldn't mind if their significant other or even themselves wore a "403 Forbidden" pair of bikini cut undies. I know, I know - only an item a nerd or nerd lover would be turned on by. But ThinkGeek certainly is banking on the double entendre here. The HTTPanties retail for $7.99 each.
Those old canvas shoes sitting in the back of your closet are back with a vengeance this Spring. But if you're not content with one of your old tattered pairs (apparently the dirtier and shaggier the better), and you're not happy with buying something that everyone else will end up wearing, Converse's home page will let you design your own unique pair. You can choose from a hi-top to a low, and you also get to choose the body color or pattern, the inside body color, the heel stripe color, the tongue color, the lining color, the rubber sidewall color, the racing strip color, the stitch color, and the lace color. And ...
MP3 Player sunglasses, watches, baseball caps, jackets, we've seen it all. Or so we thought. Designed to mount your MP3 player and cell phone, the Soundwalk MP3 Player Audio Sports Vest is a hand and ears free light-weight vest with built-in amplifier speakers on each shoulder strap for true surround sound. The vest is available with reflector lines for use at night, and it has a neat hands-free selector for switching between a MP3 player and a cell phone. So if you absolutely can't stand wires, and you don't care that you'll be nerdy enough to star in the next Weird Al video, try one of these on for size. The vest ...
We've all be there. It just comes out of nowhere, that dreaded blue screen of death. "I wish I had Saved," you think to yourself as your finger reaches for the power button. PersonalizationMall is selling a "Fatal Exception" T-Shirt, mug, mousepad, and Sweatshirts. The items are customized with the user's first name, so that you can relive that warm and cozy it's-just-your-luck feeling. Oh, and for all of you Mac people reading this post, please try and control yourself.
So you want to be fashionable yet you don't want to see someone else with the same item.

After 4 easy steps [you choose the bag style, pattern, color, and hardware], a unique bag is all yours in 3-4 weeks. Unless of course someone happens to design a bag with the same exact combinations, which they say has only happened once. It's a bit on the pricey side [$300+] but where else would you find a rockin' pink skulls print?

Is there anything more that a woman loves more than shoes? Well for some, maybe gadgets. But anyway, shoe lovers will enjoy the Virtual Shoe museum which showcases a wide selection of shoes. Unfortunately, you can't purchase them, which might actually be a good thing. However, you can get gifts ideas by browsing through their selection. The "museum" allows you to view shoes by color, designer, type, and even use.

We think that the Kenpo iPod Jacket soundly ushers in the latest in fashion, style and durability to the growing ensemble of "technology clothing" and is able to hold its own in terms of functionality and features. The good folks at Kenpo were kind enough to give us an opportunity to demo one of their jackets and we decided to take them up on their offer. We received a woman's style jacket and our tester eagerly took the Kenpo iPod jacket through it's phases for two weeks.
The Kenpo iPod Jacket utilizes a patented fabric control system and operates a 5-button switch sensor with multiple capabilities that has a Play/Pause, Track Forward, Track Back Volume Up and Volume Down buttons which are located on one sleeve of the jacket. Additionally, this self-powered jacket requires no batteries and supports most iPods including the iPod Video and iPod Nano models. And the Kenpo Jacket is machine washable and dry cleanable when the iPod connector is removed. The Kenpo iPod Jacket is available in small, medium and large sizes and black and brown are the colors of choice. Additionally, the Kenpo iPod Jacket has a front zipper and snap enclosure, flap pockets and it's lining is made of Polyester and Polyester fill.
Our tester was impressed with Kenpo's 1-2-3 easy instructions and the over-all ease of use in setting up her iPod to the dock connector to the inside of the jacket. The initial set-up entailed connecting the included controller to the ribbon cable, then connecting the 30-PIN Connector (included) to the iPod, then feeding the headphone plug through the jacket's flap and then connecting the iPod and lastly, placing the controller and the iPod into the jacket's protective pocket.This whole process took less than 3 minutes.
If you want to be a little bit more hands-on with your home decor, but have little or no artistic talent (or maybe you just think it's cute), the Bendant Lamp is an easy accessory to add. Packaged as a completely flat 30" x 33" sheet, the Bendant lamp affords you the oppurtinity to be your own successful designer. The lamps' laser cut shades are made of powder coated steel and are free and flexible enough to bend and shape in any way your heart desires. Different shade angles result in different light arrangements--change them to suit your mood (or make the mood). True artistry doesn't come cheap but hey, maybe $165 is worth it.
We were kind of skeptical about the idea of wearing a watch that is also a video player. Turns out that Aigo's MP3-F029 isn't too shabby in person. It's got a surprisingly decent 1.3" OLED screen and it sports a whole range features including the ability to play videos and mp3s, record audio, play back photos, tune in to FM radio and it can display E-books. Oh, and it can tell time too. The watch is available in black and white.
Golla of Finland's motto is that technology is moving fast and fashion even faster. That is why all of their cases and bags dress your gadgets in the latest trends. New for 2007, they are expanding their lineup to Laptop messenger bags, Digital camera and Mp3 player cases.
CES might be on everyone's minds at the moment, but we haven't forgotten about MacWorld and it's excited attendees. If you're heading to MacWorld, or just want to show your support for all things Apple, then one of these "I'm a Mac" T-shirts is a must-wear for this Tuesday. Unfortunately, we doubt that you'll be able to get one of these in time for the event. But being the true nerd that you are, you can go and grab a T-shirt kit for your inkjet and make one at home. CafePress is selling a version of the "I'm a Mac" tee in the colors black, military green, cardinal and black for $22.99, ...
While this isn't the first time we've spotted hand-made jewelry created out of computer parts, the more the merrier. Bonnie Meltzer has designed several pieces of jewelry using industrially geeky objects such as magnets, wires, and even a hard drive motor. The Crocheted magnet and plastic coated wire with hard drive motor and beads retails for $175. If that is too much for you to spend on recycled computer parts, she has several other more inexpensive necklaces including the Networking Necklace which is made up of a combination of ethernet jacks and beats, and it's available for $60. Another necklace that we're fond of is the Circuit board pendent necklace that uses two of the three included connectors to fit together and form the closing of the necklace. The Circuit board pendent necklace sells for $60.
KlearGear has a selection of hysterical and very geeky t-shirts. Most of these shirts are available as baby-doll shirts for women and regular T-shirts for men. Our favorite is "There's no place like 127.0.0.1," with a picture of Dorothy's red shoes above the text. "I see dead pixels" is a sample of another great one. If you wear one of these and someone laughs at you, then you'll instantly know that they're one of us. Unfortunately most of these shirts are currently out of stock, so back ordering is a must.
Back when I was young, we didn't have complicated multi-buttoned game controllers. We just had the trusty joystick. The orange fire button was as fancy as it would get. Oh, those were the simple days. Take a walk down memory lane with this miniature joystick necklace. On sale now at Fred Flare for $7.99. Sound effects not included. -Leah Cheng
