Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of November 16th-22nd, 2009:
Promotion: Nerd Approved readers get 25% off their total Dick Towel order! (NSFW)
Wallace & Gromit Perfect Cuppa: Steampunk cup ensures perfect coffee every time.
WTF Snowglobe: WTF? it’s just a snowglobe.
Giant, Upside Down Cat Paw USB Foot Warmer: It was only a matter of time.
Voodoo Pen Holder: Should reduce theft from your office.
Our Twitter readers heard it first, but I wanted to let everyone know that Nerd Approved readers can now get 25% off their dick towel purchase using the promo code “dick11.” Just head on over to dicktowel.com to get this wholesome, practical gift for that special someone. And if you haven’t already, make sure to check out the show that brought us all the joy that is towels with dicks—It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s seriously funny.
Personally, I’m over steampunk, but it is hard to deny the merits of this Wallace and Gromit-branded coffee cup. If you are lucky enough to have someone willing to make coffee for you, just turn the dials to indicate exactly how you would like your drink prepared.

Can you explain the populartiy of, or imagine the amount of money Mr. Snowglobe made just by putting white bits in a liquid filled glass ball with some cutesy scene? The eternal question is now asked by the snowglobe itself…WTF?

When it comes to strange USB-powered foot warmers from Asia, it would have been weirder if they didn’t make a upside down cat paw version. Still waiting on that hairy Bigfoot version I know must be in the works.
The Voodoo Pen Holder is not quite as frightening as the Voodoo Knife Holder, but you may have a tough time convincing your HR rep that you have a good reason to keep a set of sharp knives in your cube. Even without the knives, this Voodoo holder should give anyone who is thinking about stealing a pen good reason to prey on someone other than you. Whether they are afraid of a possible Voodoo curse or the mental image of a pen through their head gives them the idea you get violent if your stuff gets stolen, it should push potential thieves to look elsewhere in their search for a proper victim. The holder comes complete with six pens and the stab wounds to hold them.

Unless you like y0ur coffee cold, pouring a cup of java into this Pac-Man (or “Pac-Boy” as it were) mug will bring on the baddies. So where is Pac-Man on this mug? It seems that your head will be taking on that role my friend.

If you are searching for a perfect gift for that special someone (and by “perfect” I mean “stupid”, and by “special” I also mean “stupid”), check out the short and sweet gift guide I wrote up on Gizmodo. It features seven offbeat gifts and one definite “don’t buy.” If you are looking for even more gift ideas, make sure to check out our “Approved Products.”
No need to worry about the wind with this hurricane lamp. It plugs directly into a free USB port to illuminate a color-changing bulb. Of course, carrying around a laptop makes it a little more difficult to use while camping, investigating caves or whatever the hell people used to do with hurricane lamps.

This spanking ruler will get you one step closer to living your ultimate sexual fantasy: having a bunch of nuns smack your ass into submission while you wear a ball gag and leather chaps. Then afterwards you can have a violent recuperation by resting your sore buttcheeks on the cat fight pillow pictured after the break… That’s relief!
