Netted Cocoon Hammock

While this may not be as cool as the portable folding hammock, the netted cocoon hammock is definitely the way to go when camping in mosquito infested areas.

The netting still allows breezes to pass through and there’s a 4′ clearance so you’re not bothered when adjusting your positioning – which may be a good thing if you’re claustrophobic as well. The hammock also includes a dual-sided zipper, two pockets for convenient storage, and 20′ long bungee cords.

And for those of you who get a little crazy with the bacon, worry not. This baby is made from parachute nylon and is triple stitched at every stress point, which means it can support up to 400 lbs.

Labyrinth Aquarium

Let’s face it. It’s been a long time coming, but someone has finally got to admit that your goldfish has had it too damn easy for too damn long. Swimming around in his own little world of convenience like he owns the place while you make his feedings easy for him each day has got to stop. If you really want to get inside of that little pea sized brain of his and have some fun with him for the first freakin’ time in the entire time you’ve owned him, then buy him the Labyrinth Aquarium.

This specialty product from OpulentItems.com is 4.5 feet tall and 3.5 feet deep. Furthermore, it boasts a width of just over 4 feet and has plenty of places for your fishy to go–or get lost, depending on how smart he is. (We’re betting “not very.”) Regardless of what you think about fish as pets, this $6,500 monstrosity is eye candy in every sense of the word. It’s the Jaws of goldfish tanks but without the razor sharp teeth and Quinn along for the ride. A little more complex than the Aquavista Panorama Wall Aquarium (also a cool product for the fishes).

Code38 Stealth | Professional Wine Knife

It’s embarrassing when you pull out that fine Chablis you’ve been saving and you’re feeling all suave, and then you have to open it with a rusted corkscrew you got at the dollar store in a plastic pack of five. Sure, you saved a few bucks, but you can’t put a price on cool.

Avert that embarrassment with the Code 38 Stealth Wine Knife, by far the most James Bond way to open a bottle of wine. It’s all fighter jet curves and sleek, vaporized titanium finish. You don’t know what vaporized titanium is, but say it a few times anyway whenever you pull this baby out because man, does it sound awesome.

When the time finally comes to pop the cork, it’s fitted with grooved precision spiral which, let’s face it, is going to do things a whole lot better than that bedspring you’ve been using. There simply isn’t a better looking, better handling wine bottle opener on the planet.

Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses

Real men consume their alcohol (or other gimme-a-cold-one beverage) only one way—ice cold and unadulterated by far inferior substances.

Hence, Whiskey Stone Shot Glass shooters act like open-top thermoses and are engineered from the non-porous, better-than-ice-cubes material that is the Whiskey Stone (also check out Cool Shooters). Constructed of a granite-like (but softer than granite) material, Whiskey Stone shooters keep a man’s drink chilled without the need for fun-sucking, drink-diluting ice cubes. Stash ‘em in the freezer for about four hours (according to the manufacturer) and presto—instant cozies!

…only these won’t make you feel like a beer-totin’ redneck.

Woodsman Axe Coffee Table

Finally, a coffee table Ron Swanson can be proud of – the Woodsman Axe Coffee Table. The table was built by two London designers and is part of a collection based on fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm – this one obviously from “Little Red Riding Hood”.

The table portion comes in either a Walnut veneer or light Oak veneer from Stewardship Council managed forests and other controlled sources, and the axe handles are made of hickory.

Measuring 40cm high, 75cm wide and 125cm deep, the Woodsman Axe Coffee Table will look right at home under your mounted moose head and on top of a bearskin rug from a bear you killed with your own two hands, you manly man, you.

Man Cans

Who said we men aren’t the sensitive types? We like candles just as much as the ladies do, as long as those candles smell of Grandpa’s Pipe and New York Style Pizza. Introducing Man-Cans! These scented candles for the male preferences come in a variety of different aromas. Just none of them are called Peacock Cherry or Morning Bliss!

Made from recycled cans as much as possible, these beauties can be yours for $9.50 each (and less if you order 20 or more). Great if you run your own candle shop, or if you just want a steady supply of man-centric smells to brighten your day. Other options include Bacon, Sawdust, Fresh Cut Grass, Campfire, Coffee, and New Mitt (as in catcher’s mitt). Play ball!

Moleskine Black Pencils

Leave it up to Moleskine – makers of “legendary notebooks” – to come up with a way to make your pencils look stylish. Yes, your pencils.

These beauties come in a Matte black finish and are rectangular shaped with rounded corners. But sleek looks aren’t the only thing Moleskine had in mind. They’re made of cedar wood and high-quality 2B lead – thicker and darker than your average No.2 pencil.

The black pencils come with a steel cap that can be clipped onto any Moleskine notebook cover, as well as a sharpener and 24 adhesive labels to personalize your set.

Time to break out those journals.

Digital PeepHole Viewer | By Brinno

The peephole has been the universal answer to “Who’s there?” for the last 40 or so years. Over those 4o years it has offered a view through our front doors, albeit a limited one, and has remained unchanged throughout its extensive use until now. Brinno has created a Digital Peephole Viewer set to revolutionize the long-dormant field of the peephole. No longer must you rely on dark and blurry images found through that little hole, or listen intently for a familiar voice to allow access to your home.

Once installed, the digital viewer shows you a crisp and clear view of who is on the other side of your front door. The display has two modes “Regular” and “Zoom” that are interchangeable with a push of the single button below the display. There is an automatic 10 second shut off to conserve battery life and a low battery warning system. And like magic, it can be installed right over your existing peephole as it was designed to be. This should make avoiding unwanted visitors all the easier.

EazyWallz

‘Eazywallz’: Sounds like some sort of DIY project in applying Sheetrock, right? Well, not quite.

Easywallz are straightforward, easy-to-install (or says the manufacturer), and durable and transform plain ole’ white (or any other passe colour) walls into life-size murals. Easywallz apply to the wall via a proprietary adhesive solution; they’re constructed of thin, woven fabric (of which apes an actual artist’s canvas) and are completely (again, according to the good folks of Easy Wallz) wrinkle- and rip-resistant. The gorgeous murals are even reusable.

Various themes (and there are a myriad of them), include:

Cityscapes and landscapes
Macro photography/art
Transportation/Autos
Urban (the ‘Street Art’ is near Epic)
Florals
Art (Nouveau, Deco, Impressionist, etc.)
Personal photographs integrated into canvases

…and lots more.

The best part about these uber-fancy, super large wallpapers? They require practically no tools other than potentially a step stool or ladder.

Tassimo Brewbot

Think of the Tassimo ‘T65′ Brewbot beverage maker, from Bosch, as the futuristic little coffee maker that really, really could.

In addition to churning out a custom cup of Joe, the Tassimo Brewbot can whip up espresso, tea, crema, latte, cappuccino, or hot chocolate in a single flick of a switch. At this point, you’re likely wondering “how in the hell’s it know what to make?” Easy: Pop in one of the included ‘T discs’ (little UFO-like packets filled with the ingredients for making one of the aforementioned beverages) of your choice and the T65 (reminds you a little of The Terminator, huh?) goes to work.

And apparently, the Tassimo T65 Brewbot (the most badass name for a “coffee maker”. Ever.) will make a cameo in the new Transformers 3 movie. Seriously, though, brewing up that hot cup of virtually anything-served-hot has never been this ridiculously cool—or simple.
