Stylish Automatic Disc Retrieval System

She Gadget:  Are you tired of looking at all of  those CD and DVD cases sitting out in the open or taking up all your cupboard space?  As we get older, the less attractive they become and the more we collect other stuff.

 

Here’s what will help with all the clutter.  Take all of the CDs, DVDs, photo discs and game discs out of their cases and store them in a box in your basement or garage, or throw them away.  Take the CD/DVDs and organize them in this stylish 100 CD Automatic Retrieval System.  Using online software available with this model, enter all your CDs/DVDs and print off your index.  Place the index in the bottom drawer. 

 

Retrieve a CD/DVD within 5 seconds by  pulling out the index, finding the CD/DVD #.  Sliding the lever to the # and press the bar.  There you have it. 

 

As you add to or change your collection, just update your index online and reprint.

 

It’s that simple and looks great too.  It comes in brown or black to suite your style.

AntWorks

She Gadget:  Okay, the idea of intentionally bring ants into my house made me cringe. We always seem to get a few in the spring and I can’t stand it.  My husband, on the other hand, thought the AntWorks tunnels were pretty cool and the kids would love them.

 

What I like about it is that you don’t need to feed or water the ants.  The gel in the display has the nutrients for the ants.    The Ants will arrive separately from your AntWorks farm.  Just add the ants to the farm and you’re done.  Don’t forget to put the lid back on.  The ants will take it from there as they build their tunnels.

 

The AntWorks farm is light up with a blue light and makes it a cool addition to any boy’s room. They'll love to check it out every day to see the new tunnels.

Wireless Stealth Street Mouse - NEW!

He Gadget:  Do you know someone who has always dreamed of owning a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?  Well, you might not be able to afford to buy them one, but you can afford to buy them a Wireless Stealth Street Mouse.  It was designed based on a super car concept so it has great style.

 

Its gorgeous lines and aerodynamic design have been perfectly sculpted to fit your hand making it a must have accessory for any car lover.

 

The rechargeable batteries charge with a detachable gas nozzle styled USB cable.  The RF transmitter comes in the shape of a starter key and works from up to 1.5 meters away.

 

This ergonomically designed 800 dpi optical mouse is perfect for the racer in anyone. 

The Stealth design will be available in late July, 2008.

Watch Walkie Talkie

He Gadget:  Walkie talkies are still a great way to keep in touch when you are camping, at an amusement park or at the mall.    I know most people have cell phones, but you may not want to use your minutes or get charged extra roaming fees if you are on vacation.

 

If you prefer walking talkies, the 2 Way Watch Radios (Walkie Talkies) stay with your at all times.  You don’t need to worry about digging for it in your pocket or bag or  having the kids leaving it somewhere.  It is always on your wrist.  

 

Since it works up to 1.5 miles away, it’s also great to get a hold of your kids if they are down the street at a neighbor’s house.  Also use it around the house or yard.

 

Comes in a set of  2 watches with rechargeable batteries and charger  that have battery life of up to 18 hours per charge.  22 selectable channels.

Keep Cool While You Work - USB Fan

 

 

She Gadget:  Do you have a stuffy office or cubicle or does your neighbor’s cube have a funny smell?  You should try the USB Fan to get some airflow going to cool you down or get rid of the stuffy air. 

 

The USB Fan hardly takes up any space and you can have it blow directly on you or wherever you’d like with the 12” flexible wire cord.  Don’t worry about getting too close.  The blades are made of neoprene so they won’t hurt if you touch them while the fan is going.

 

This is perfect for my son who plays computer games.  He over heats very easily and this keeps him cool while he plays, and I’m happy because I don’t need to turn down the air conditioning and freeze.  Also works great if you get hot flashes. 

 

It comes in back or white.

Outdoor fun for everyone – Air Rider X-zylo

She Gadget: The Air Rider X-zylo is a great summer outdoor toy.  Everyone can play, no matter how little or big.  Just grab it by the tail and wing it underhand or overhand or you can throw it like a football.  It’s designed so it doesn’t need any special finesse which makes it great for little kids to play too. 

Recently, we took one to a family picnic and I was surprise how long the kids played with it.  They took turns seeing how far they could get it to go, then they were tossing it back and forth over a football goal.

You’d be surprise how sturdy it is.  The tail is made of a tent like material so it doesn’t rip when you give it a good throw and you don’t need to worry it getting wet. 

For the older kids, it would be great for a game of tag football.  It can be thrown farther and it is easier to catch.  You don’t need to worry about jamming your fingers either.

Take a look at the YouTube video. 

Light Up Frisbee – The Odyssey

She Gadget: What kid doesn’t like toys that light up?  The Odyssey Frisbee is a perfect gift for a kid 6-12 years old.  It comes in 4 different colors; Red, Blue, Green and the new multi-color version which turns 7 different colors.

My kids love playing with ours, especially in the summer when the sun is setting or has gone down completely.  It has 4 LED lights that are very bright which makes it so much fun to watch as it swirls around.

The Odyssey Frisbee is a very high quality and sturdy giving it a nice even flight pattern. 

Spit Wad Launcher

He Gadget:  I wish they had the Spit Wad Launcher when I was a kid.  My sons, nephews and niece all want one.  What a great spring/summer present.

No, they don’t use spit.  They just soak the spitballs in water, load the launcher and blow.  The spitballs are launched as far as 60 feet.  It comes with 12 spitballs and you can get 20 extra spitballs pretty cheap.

Just in case, you may want to get one for yourself too…for self defense.

Why Walk When You Can Ride - STRiDa Fold Up Bike

He Gadget:  This is a great bike for people who live in big cities or have small apartments, or both.  It’s not for the avid cyclist, but if you are tired of walking to work or want to shorten your commute time, the STRiDA bike is a great alternative to walking. 

The bike is only 22 lbs and folds up in 5 seconds.  You don’t need to worry about getting grease on your cloths because it has a greaseless chain.  Even though it's light, you don't need to carry it after it's been folded.  Just roll it with you.

It is so compact you can easily put it in your trunk, take it on the train or subway and store it in your closet, apartment or office (or cubicle).

The STRiDA was invented in the UK as an elegant transportation alternative and has won awards all over the world.

Available in black or white.
