LuminAID

If you need light on the go, it doesn’t get any more portable than this.

The LuminAID is an inflatable solar light that consists of a solar panel, a slimline battery and LEDs. Simply charge it in sunlight for 4 hours, inflate it to diffuse the light, and in return you get up to 8 hours of light on the high setting and up to 10 hours of light on the low setting. It’s also waterproof and floats, and can be re-charged up to 800 times.

Perfect for disaster relief situations, camping, fishing, or just lighting up your pool at night.

Man Candles | By Yankee Candle

The Yankee Candle store… it’s one of those shops that you never see men in, unless they’re being dragged in there by women. Because walking into a home with a man surrounded by candles that smell like “Summer Love” and “Citrus Passion” is actually a bit worrying.

But Yankee Candle is hoping to change all of that with their new collection of Man Candles. These masculine scents include Riding Mower, First Down, 2 x 4, and Man Town.

Cut grass, fresh dirt, the floor of a lumber mill, and cologne. Mmmm…

QlockTwo App

If you’ve got an iPad or an iPhone and you couldn’t afford the $1100 QlockTwo wall clock, or even the $725 QlockTwo watch, how does a 99 cent QlockTwo app sound?

The QlockTwo App turns your idle, blank screen into a word-based clock that updates in real time. It uses the same time-telling functionality that’s found in the physical Biegert & Funk products. The clock displays a matrix of letters, some of which are iluminated to display a phrase such as “IT IS HALF PAST TWELVE” – letting you know exactly what time it is, in a completely unique way.

Users can choose between a German or English matrix (more languages to come), and there’s even an Android version available.

I Suck at Girls

Most of you have probably heard of Shit My Dad Says, from what started as a popular Twitter feed, went viral and eventually got turned into a book.

Now the author, Justin Halpern is back with another book, I Suck at Girls. Here Justin tackles sex and love and shares the story of his personal life, like losing his virginity while working as a dishwasher at Hooters.

As Jimmy Kimmel put it, “If you don’t think this book is hilarious, I will kill you and sue you.”

Whiskey After-Shave Splash

After-shave works to soothe the skin and helps heal those small nicks you get from the “I’m 30 minutes late for work” shaves. But not all of the after-shave scents are something to appreciate.

Well, the folks from PGS have come up with an intriguing scent in The Whiskey After-Shave Splash. It’s alcohol free, and instead uses natural, more gentle ingredients including sea kelp extract, blue-green algae, organic aloe vera juice, and tea tree essential oil. The potion is infused with the whiskey scent and then packed into an amber glass bottle with a flow-limiter cap.

If you’re wondering what to expect from an after-shave that smells like whiskey, look no further than the product description itself: “reminiscent of an ol’ yachtsman relaxing below deck at the end of a long day on the wild ocean, a favorite Scotch in hand.”

Sriracha Lollipops

We hope you really, really like your Sriracha… because now you’ll be sucking it down like candy, literally.

Sriracha Lollipops are pretty much self explanatory. The condiment Sriracha - Thai-style hot sauce, typically made from sun-ripened chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt – is placed on a stick, and ready for snacking. Insane? Maybe. But if your a Sriracha fanatic, having this spice on your tongue all day is likely a dream come true.

And why stop with lollipops when there’s an entire cookbook devoted to the sauce?

Blue Blood Playing Cards

Peter Dunham and Linnea Gits, at the design studio, Uusi have been collecting card decks for years. Now they’re successfully launching their own limited edition deck through KickStarter.

Each suit has its own unique rulers, and the Joker has different sides so that “depending on which way this guy is dealt you either get a happy or sad fool.”

The cards will be made by The US Playing Card Company with air cushion and magic finish.

Ink’d Biodegradable Pens

Fun fact: Every year we fill enough garbage trucks to form a line that would stretch from the earth, halfway to the moon.

It’s a scary thought, but if Kerry & Kevin Davis have anything to say about it, pens won’t be on those trucks. That’s because their new product - ink’d – is a biodegradable pen that decomposes into carbon and water, leaving no toxic residues or substances behind. In fact, the pen achieves 82.3% biodegration in 101 days.

But going green isn’t the only benefit. ink’d pens have contoured triangular barrels for a modern look and comfortable feel, top grade ink for smooth writing, and 8 interchangeable cap and body colors to reflect your individual personality.

However, these pens won’t become a reality unless they reach their goal of raising $12,000 through their Kickstarter project. Want to help? Contribute here.
