Classy: Wine Glass Sippy Cup

Nothing says “I’m an upstanding member of society” than being seen walking around with a sippy cup filled with wine. Oh sure, it could be anything in there. Could be juice. But the fact that the hollowed out innards are shaped just like a wine glass when they don’t have to be is proof enough that the object is making a statement. It’s saying “hey, I’m a sippy cup that’s meant to be filled with wine.” But that’s ok, we don’t just. Of course, if you’re going to be traipsing around town sipping wine from a plastic container, it might was well be spill and shatter proof. Which the Vino2Go (as it’s called) certainly is.

Each $15 BPS-free plastic cup holds 10 oz. of liquid. That’s not much. You better ask your significant other to carry the wine purse for refills.

Baby Mop: Put That Baby To Some Use

Oh, babies. They are… completely not something we’re thinking of having anytime soon. Cute as they are, they’re just gluttons for attention. We think they should give something back, and more than just the warm and fuzzies, or contributing to the survival of the species, or passing on your genes: they should work for all the things we give them. So that’s why we’re digging the Baby Mop. Featuring ultra absorbing cleaning pads on the areas that babies usually crawl around on, they’ll buff your hardwood floor to a shine without even realizing it. Later in life, you can inform them that they were hardworking little-people even before they knew what they were doing.

It’s $40 and as you can imagine, stock is running low on this. Hit the jump for a few more pictures of a baby definitely digging not knowing what the heck he’s doing.

The Shot Flask Features Shot Glass In Body

Second post on drinking today. No, this has nothing to do with our recently self-imposed dry period. Nope. Not one thing…

But while we’re on the topic, might as well tell you about the Shot Flask. It’s pretty obvious what it is, and it’s genius. It’s a simple flask that contains a collapsible shot glass. No longer do you have to swig your liquor straight from the flask like an alcoholic; you can pretend to be upscale and just shoot it like a regular bar patron. Except you’re in a movie theatre and fooling no one, but hey, we don’t judge.

The Shot Flask holds 8 oz, and costs $25.

Das Horn: For When You Just Have To Drink Like A Viking

Men don’t drink beer from mugs, men drink beer from a hollowed-out animal tusk held in their right hand, while nonchalantly fighting a raging boar with the left. It’s just how it’s done, or at the very least it’s how it would be done in an Old Spice commercial. Except that, well… hollowing out an animal tusk might have been just fine in the time of Leif Eriksson but it’s not such an accepted practice nowadays. Enter the Das Horn, a BPS-free ABS plastic cup with a stainless steel rim. A metal stand allows you to set it down on a table, or you can hang it around your neck for some hands-free drinking. We think it looks pretty slick.

The Das Horn contains 24 oz. of liquid, and is dishwasher safe. Currently a project on Kickstarter, a $35 pledge will get you yours.

Aren’t You a Little Cotton for a Stormtrooper?

This is a sponsored article. -Ed.

We’ve seen the Sith Lord bathrobes. We’ve even seen the Jedi Master bathrobes. We’ve even used both in conjunction with those replica lightsabers and acted out the scene from A New Hope on the landing, quipping one liners like ‘You can’t win Darth’ at each other whilst obliterating any tall standing lamps in the vicinity. We’ve even superimposed a see-through Hayden Christenson off in the distance as we frolic with the Ewoks. In fact, if you can think of an event in which a Jedi or Sith robe could be used to cause trouble, we’ve pretty much done it. And then got a bit bored. Fortunately though, we’ve found something new.

What with the recent news that Mickey Mouse pulled up in his stretch Cadillac and nonchalantly purchased Lucasfilm from beneath the largely bewildered nose of old George, the 7th episode announced for fast-track release in 2015, and the release of Angry Birds: Star Wars, we’ve all gone a bit intergalactically nuts again of late.

As such, who wouldn’t want to reinvigorate the bathrobe battles by donning the outfit of everybody’s favourite group of cock-eyed, arthritic, can’t-aim-for-toffee, clone-soldiers-for-hire: The Stormtroopers!

Yep, that’s right. This little gem, located roughly in the locale of the Find Me a Gift website is just like our Jedi and Sith bathrobes, except with this we lose any previous ability to aim a gun and not look exactly like Jango Fett. We’ve also recently been hit with the realization that those were, in fact, the droids we were looking for. Damn it all.

As a Christmas present, any Star Wars fan will undoubtedly lose their marbles over this ineffable garment, and whether you’re new to the unending fun of larking around the house like a nine year old, breaking expensive things and pretending to be a Jedi, or are a seasoned veteran of the sport, and simply need to add a new guise to your collection, the Stormtrooper robe undoubtedly provides.

You can find this and many more great gifts for men at Find Me a Gift.

Friis Coffee Vault

Storing coffee isn’t like storing sugar. There’s delicate flavours to preserve there, and coffee beans release CO2 while in storage, so you can’t just put them in a hermetically sealed container. Well, you can… but it’s better if you put them in something like the Friis Coffee Vault. It features a one-way valve that lets the carbon dioxide out, but prevents anything else from entering and tainting that most precious of flavours.

For $22 you get a 16 oz jar, a measuring spoon and a one year supply of freshness valves.

TGT Wallet Is Another Take On Minimal

The type of wallet you choose as well as where you decide to stash it (front vs. rear pocket) is a topic of endless discussion in some circles. But there’s no denying that the growing trend is to go minimal and carry only the essentials in the front pocket; the George Costanza types are a dying breed. Capitalizing on the movement is the TGT (which stands for “Tight”) wallet seen above: “The TGT 1.0 is a simple wallet made of rare high quality elastic. The TGT 2.0 adds a pocket made of fine Italian leather.” And that, really, is it. With an effort in restraint, you can select only your essential plastic and some paper money and not have to worry about herniating a vertebral disc from sitting on an overstuffed wallet again. The TGT wallet is fully funded on Kickstarter… 5 times over actually, and at $16 and $32, you’ll still have plenty of that paper money left to carry around in it after you’ve placed your order. Better yet, it’s apparently not too late to order it in time for the Holidays.

Currency Coasters Are Made From Money – Literally

What happens when paper money falls out of circulation? We’re not sure, but some of it clearly gets shredded and ends up as coasters. Mixed with a type of resin, the Currency Coasters are part shredded ex-money, part plastic and all conversation piece.

Well, maybe not conversation. Maybe just a “hey, dude, your coasters are neat-o!” But at $35 for 4, that’ll do.

The Gibbs Quadski Does 45mph On Land Or Water

This vehicle really looks like it should be in a Bond movie, or at the very least in some action flick with a spiffy chase. We think that being able to go 45mph on land or water, with nothing but a 4 second transition period gives the Gibbs Quadski some pretty serious cred. Powered by a BMW Motorrad K1300 engine, the Quadski is able to retract its wheels at the push of a button and give the rider the same level of performance in water than it does outside. Previous such vehicles have topped out at 10mph, which we agree is a ridiculous speed at which to have any kind of chase. Note however that as much as it looks like a AWD ride, it’s actually RWD. We’re not familiar enough with ATVs to know if that still qualifies it as a “quad”, but we’re not here to argue semantics. We can just tell you that if you want one, you’ll have to be ready to pay $40,000 when it goes on sale in November.
