The best way to combat insects is to turn one of their own kind on them. When you tilt this mosquito shaped bug vacuum down and yank on his tail you create suction that sucks the bug into the mosquito body. It also includes a clear viewing area so you can revel in its imprisonment and ignorance of impending doom.

Much like a real Zamboni cleans blood and teeth off ice at a Hockey arena, this mini Zamboni vacuum will clean dust and crumbs off the surface of your desk. Finger drive this baby around and you’ll get a much needed mental vacation away from the pressures of the office and indulge in the magical world of a corporate Zamboni operator. When you return to reality, laughs, a denied promotion and a thumbs up from the cleaning crew will be waiting for you.

This battery-operated bagel dome keeps your baked goods fresher, longer by creating a vacuum seal at the push of a button. If you are so inclined, you could arm each bagel with one of those toothpick swords and pretend that they are battling it out in the Thunderdome. Two bagels will enter, only one will leave.

This 9″ “distorted gourd” candle holder will cast the eerie glow of two different jack o’ lantern faces which appear to be frozen in mid-suck as if they’re being pulled up by some unseen force. However that will probably pale in comparison to the terror of trying to get a lit candle inside one of these.

The set of Crumb Pet vacuums are all very cute and based on fun little animals. Someone must have had a wild weekend to agree to have a Garbage Truck Vacuum as well. It seems like the most sensible one of all since the amount of crap on your table probably would require a truck to haul it all away. It may not be entirely safe, though, since they make no mention of a beeping sound when it is used in reverse.

For those who don’t know, the Henry Hoover vacuum is famous for its looks and reliability (in the UK at least), and now it is available in a cute desktop version that is powered via USB. The full-size version has also been in the spotlight recently after a Polish building contractor was caught having sex with one in a UK hospital cafeteria. Nice.
I know they have smiles on their faces folks, but that doesn’t mean that they are happy about being violated—so don’t get any funny ideas with the new desktop versions. Hetty Hoover is pictured after the break.
