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.

There is nothing fun about public toilets, but the embarrassment of every sound you make in there being heard by all the others currently using the same restroom is an uncomfortable situation at best. The Eco-Otome Toilet Sound Blocker saves you that discomfort by giving you up to 25 seconds of toilet flushing sounds to cover any noise you may be emitting. It isn’t the only product on the market with this functionality, but it’s a little more practical and discreet than one shaped like a rose that seems to applaud your bowel movements.

The Gift of Hope offers the recipient exactly what it says, hope. The empty box will certainly give them hope that the next gift you give them will be something useful. The box also offers those that are extremely gullible the chance to find the key to happiness that is in one out of every thousand boxes. Check out this product that may be one of the few that offers even less.

A close relative of the unzipped glass ziploc bag, this porcelain cardboard box will give you the look of used box, but one that lasts much longer. For the ultimate in realism it includes staples and a strip of tape. A great Christmas gift to confuse the recipient as long as you are sure to pack it in a cardboard gift box.

These sumo robots walk faster and push harder depending on how much electricity you generate with the hand crank. So, it’s not fat, strength and superior technique that wins the day, it’s how fast you can turn that crank.
