table-works

After fighting your way through construction zones to get back home, the last thing you probably want to see on the dining room table is traffic cones. The one advantage to these is that rather than choking off much needed traffic lanes, they steer each person to the correct seat. These also have the advantage of not being large enough for the drunkards to wear them as a hat after a few too many.

dinosauria-egg-ornament

Your Christmas tree ornaments don’t have to be all about snowmen and angels. A dinosaur egg that is in the middle of hatching gives the holiday a whole different feeling. Think about how much more fun all of the Christmas specials would be if there were raptors running loose in all of them.

reminder-pint-glasses

If you are going to be drinking beers and trolling for girls, you may as well let them know right up front that the night is going to be a total blur. It may scare a couple off, but this glass could also keep you in touch with a good one.

ear-hook

Attached to the wall with just one screw, you can hang anything you want on the ear or just leave it up as a decoration in itself. Although, if you decide on the latter, you might want to consider something a little bigger.

fridge-locker

If you want to bring good food or drinks into your office and not have them stolen then this Fridge Locker is what you need. Just set it in your office refrigerator, lock it up and your thieving bastards of co-workers will have to find their own goodies. Its portability is both a blessing and a curse: it allows you to use it at home to keep your last beer safe, but it also means that while people cannot steal what is inside the locker, they can steal the whole damn thing and spend their time breaking in.
