It’s Time For The Holiday Toy Ideas!

This time around I’ll start with a series of recommendations from one of my favourite tech sites, Engadget.
I’ll keep it pretty simple and just echo their list, and let it be known that I can’t vouch for these as I haven’t played with them myself, but figure there are some folks out there that may [...]

When A Child’s Toy Is Not A Child’s Toy

Since about 2002 I’ve been a huge fan of the urban vinyl craze (see Kidrobot for examples) and all the figures, art and toys that it’s spawned. At times I’ve taken those items and gifted them to kids as birthdays and other occasions presented themselves. Lately I’ve noticed that one has to be more and [...]

Items From Around The Web

Is it just me or does the Violet cocoon sleeping bag by Baby Barolo look a little too much like a lawn grub? Via

Also from Smallable check out the Saab Roadster by Playsam, Sibis Villa Doll House With Garden And Pool and the Black Rocking Sheep.

Bloesem Kids posted about doodle bread… which creeps me out [...]

What’s A Baby Yuppie? Buppie? If Your Kid Has One Of These She Is One

Found at likecool.com, we have the BMW Baby Racer II… a child’s ‘toy’ that’s miles cooler than anything my wife or I currently drive. On the one hand its a nicely designed toy… but on the other it feels wrong considering a shiny BMW for a child who doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) care less.

Japanese Television Goes One Step Too Far

I’m a huge fan of Japanese game shows… I could watch those things for hours. The creativity is mindblowing, the sets are hilarious and the lack of obvious concern for pending legal action is a thing of beauty.
That said, the video below takes television entertainment a couple steps too far. The program seems to [...]

Gloomy Bear Arm Pillows. Back On The Market, But Only In Korea?

A couple years back I was looking for a somewhat ‘unique’ gift to send to friends and acquaintances. I pride myself on being able to find interesting items online to send to others, and I considered this particular case a huge win. The item in question was a Gloomy Bear arm pillow. I bought 3, [...]

Random Post Thursday

Let loose this holiday season and forget about your low fat diet for a few days. To help you along that path here are links to a couple books I’m planning to pick up (admittedly as gags) for stocking stuffers and such:
Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, With Recipes
Bones: Recipes, History, and Lore
SharmaDesigns over [...]
