11.30.2004OneDerWear Disposable Undies
Frequent travelers who don't want to do laundry in the sink or pay for expensive hotel laundry services can just take along several packs of OneDerWear disposable underwear. OneDearWear is 100% cotton, 100% biodegradable, and comes in several styles for men and women, from boxers to thongs. The fabric is very thin, so they won't last through more than a couple of wash cycles, but a 5-pack of thongs is just $7.99. There are also disposable socks. Posted by Mia

11.29.2004Phone Triggered Pleasure
One of the most annoying things here in Italy is the population,Aeos ostentatious use of cell phones. If you are one of the many Italians that rely on public transportation to get to work and back home, you might find yourself trapped in an overfilled bus at rush hour. You will be surrounded by passengers that are engaged in some mobile phone activity or other, the most annoying one of them all being the (un)usually loud private phone conversation. ,AeP and now you will probably wonder what this all has to do with the VibraExciter, a new and unique product that enables you to send and receive pleasure, through your mobile phone ,AeP in a very discrete way as VibraFun, the manufacturer of this product, states. If close to other [mobile phones], they could activate the device. Depending on how you choose to have fun this can be a good or bad thing. Choose the right place to use it.
So while we are approaching the era of mobile communication and while Italians seem to have adapted pretty well to this particular technological revolution, I am convinced that the VibraExciter could make the ride on the crowded bus a lot more enjoyable. Posted by Camilla

11.29.2004The Seinfeld Dictionary
Please don,Aeot hate me if I admit that I refused to watch Seinfeld for the longest time ever and that I couldn,Aeot really understand its humor for just as long. After all, I am not a New Yorker and I am not even a native English speaker, but most importantly I am kind of on the slow side when it comes to understanding sarcasm. When I first met my husband, who is a big Seinfeld fan and who shares a similar kind of humor, he had to signal by raising his hand whenever he was actually making a joke or simply making fun of me. Well, a couple of years later, not only I do enjoy watching Seinfeld, but I also understand its humor -- and my husband,Aeos--, and therefore I welcome the Seinfeld dictionary with just as much enthusiasm as the newly released DVD set of the series.

11.29.2004Kataburera Hands-free Umbrella
Perhaps there are some people who will think that holding an umbrella is not a difficult enough task to require a special hands-free model, but it makes sense if you have to carry a baby (or two, Phinnaeus? Hazel? Seriously, Julia?) in your arms in the pouring rain. It's also a lot less unsightly than one of those umbrella hats. The umbrella, called the Kataburera (shoulder umbrella) was developed by holistic physician Daryn Peterson not only for people carrying lots of bags and/or children, but for the elderly and infirm, who are prone to accidents in bad weather. The Kataburera is extremely lightweight, so it shouldn't affect balance or put too much pressure on fragile bodies. You can read more about the umbrella and Daryn Peterson in the Japan Times.

11.29.2004Snowman Paint
Snowman Paint looks like a great shortcut to actually rolling all that snow and finding accessories like carrot noses: just draw the snowman on a natural heap of snow, much easier! Or you could use the eight spray-on snow paints to draw faces and clothing on your snowman. I'm assuming that the paint will not leave permanent marks on sidewalks, or maybe that's part of the fun, seeing the designs that watery paint muck leaves behind. Posted by Mia

11.26.2004Nice Smell Kaori-Chan Perfumed Cell Phone Straps
"Hey do you smell.... curry?" "Yeah, that's my phone!" Nice Smell Kaori-Chan phone straps emit a fragrance when the phone rings. You can also get more traditional scents like grapefruit, rose, or jasmine, but that's so boring, I say curry is the way to go. The Nice Smell straps are $9.51 at Strapya. Posted by Mia

11.26.2004Little Tikes RFID Kitchens
Little Tikes has a whole new series of kids' toy kitchens full of interactive technology. The MagiCook Kitchen comes with pretend food embedded with electronic tags (RFID) that can be read by sensors on the stovetop which then respond with the appropriate comment in three languages (English, French, and Spanish). The kitchen comes with 5 food items and 100 phrases but additional food accessory packs can be added to increase the responses to 700 phrases. I like the birthday pack myself. The MagiCook Kitchen is $90 and the additional packs are $13-$15. The Cookin' Fun Interactive Kitchen is for budding gadgetphiles. There's the same RFID technology, but the Cookin' Fun kitchen is focused on the tools of cooking, like the microwave and coffeemaker, all of which make realistic sounds when the motion detectors are triggered. It comes with thirteen kitchen accessories and you can buy more, like the Cookin' Fun Blender for making pretend smoothies. The kitchen is $120. Posted by Mia

11.26.2004PursePal Light
Honestly, I can't even find things in my purse in broad daylight, but normal people who don't tote their occasional packratty tendencies in their bags may be helped by the Purse Pal, a small light that clips to the inside of your purse. The bright light will illuminate the inside of your bag with the touch of a button. Posted by Mia
