For many of us, the cold winter weather has arrived — and that means dealing with the snow, the cold and cabin fever. The following gadgets can help you overcome these obstacles in the home, in the outdoors and even with the clothing you wear. You’ll be ready for the winter all right — even if it turns into the next Ice Age.
If your snowmen look more like Beavis and less like three perfectly graduated balls, it’s time to invest in a Willysphere. These tools can quickly make perfect spheres out of sand or snow, and are offered in varying widths to create a variety of different sizes. Minutes of fun will follow when you create snowmen, sandmen, snowballs, sandballs, a giant pair of buttcheeks, or a pair of geometrically perfect breasts using Willysphere’s unique sombrero shape as the perfect nipple shaped topper. They aren’t available in the US yet, but keep your eyes peeled, because they should be soon.

You’ll be sorry you insulted the hat next time you need to keep warm or mask a noxious funk…Utterly useful.

When society gets into a rut where it can’t produce any worthwhile new inventions, we fall back on our obsession with changing products that already exist. In that spirit we offer this snowman made from a tampon. Standing at a mighty 3 1/2 inches, the flowman and his absorbing power will command giggles from your girlfriends and give any song that mentions snow a nice menstrual cycle vibe.
