perfect cuppa steampunk coffee mug

Your mother in law will make some sort of crack about your cooking skills, you’ve had a few so you call her a bitch, and it’s all fists, hair pulling and tears from there on out.

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.

usb hurricane lamp

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.
