Flush Light: Lets You Grope Around the Toilet in the Dark

The Flush Light is a replacement toilet handle that has a built in light on it. Push the black button on it and it gives you a soft glowing light to find the toilet by. Now anything that lets bleary eyed people have a better chance of hitting the toilet is a plus in my book, but I am not sure why reaching over to hit the light switch in the bathroom is such a chore but groping around the toilet in the dark is considered a convenience. It does have a small light to help guide you, but sleepy people still do not have their judgement quite at 100%.

When you first take this foot out of your pocket, some people may find you to be a little odd. When they find out it is a bottle opener you will gain some respect from about half the crowd, and when they find out it is also a lighter you should draw in most of the others. I mean, just how cool is that? Nothing goes together better than a beer and a cigarette and you have a cute foot that can assist you in both.

Mommy Megaphone: You Know It Is Needed

I come from an extended family that had seven kids in the house at times. I can tell you that if you are in that type of situation then the parents need something to grab those kid’s attention. This Mommy Megaphone is a step in the right direction. You can just imagine how loud a megaphone would be in an enclosed space and you know that it would take something drastic to get a response out of them. You had also better hope your kids are better behaved than we were because the measly 10 watts this thing puts out would be no match for the 100 watts our stereo was putting out.

You are probably already familiar with the plug and play line of TV games, but this new version allows you to take control with a little Wall-E robot replica. Apparently, it is loaded up with four games—but the titles and plots of those games remain a mystery. Probably doesn’t matter all that much though. It could play ET and Aquaman and people would still buy it.

USB Office Fairy Lights

If you wonder what good these lights are, I can give you two excellent reasons. First, anything that plugs into your USB port and is not associated with computing is cool. It just is. And if it happens to be fairy lights that you can drape on your screen that is acceptable. The second reason is that your work is not going to get done by itself when you are taking your daily nap. Maybe one time you will wake up and it will magically be done. The only answer will be the fairies.

Skeeter Beeter Pro Hammock

Isn’t the whole idea of relaxing in a hammock to enjoy the outdoors? While I do understand the desire to keep the bugs away, it still seems like it is not much different than being in some screened in porch. However, if your goal is to hide from the wife who wants the lawn mowed, then you may have a winner here.
