MechaniCard Kinetic Sculptures brings art to life

Posted in: Today's Chili

mechanicard_kinetic_sculptures_in_use
We’re always looking to do things as cheaply as possible. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some disposable income laying around to throw at something frivolous. When it comes to things like decorations for our home, some will go a hobby store and pick up a mass-produced print of a famous painting to proudly hang it above their couch. It’s cheap, easy to find, and recognizable. That sort of thing doesn’t work for everyone though.

Some of us want something you can’t find at any old store that was made in a factory. If you’re a fan of functionality, aesthetics, and have an appreciation for art, then you’re going to love the MechaniCard Kinetic Sculptures. They aren’t very big, but what they lack in size they make up for in mesmerizing beauty. These are limited edition, hand-made, and numbered mechanical works of art. There are three different options, including the Mandala, radial engine, and a regular wooden display. Turning the crank will move the picture with masterfully crafted precision.

They are made of paperboard, wood, metal, or plastic depending on which version you go with. They cost anywhere from $30-75, which may seem like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that this is hand-made art. Putting together something this small that actually works would be rather time consuming. This would definitely be one of those “want” purchases rather than “need”, and would be great as a present, or just as a desk toy. These sold like hot cakes on their first run, but there should be more of them in the coming weeks.

Available for purchase at ThinkGeek

Crib Dribbler – for the Truly Perfect Present

Posted in: Today's Chili

We all know how hard finding the perfect gift can be, I’m always on the lookout for the item that will wow the crowd, and of course the recipient. It gets more difficult as we get older, probably because we lose our lust for toys, and the mundane stuff we’re left with in terms of “grown-up” presents… well, they’re just not that much fun to give.

Until now, check out the Crib Dribbler, a super convenient, time saving baby feeder, designed to simply hang off the side of a crib in order to provide your child with proper nutrition any time of the day or night. With interchangeable tips, the unit is able to serve up formula, infant energy drinks, or even warm stew, leaving you free to do whatever you want! Giving your infant instant independence. At least that’s what the box says.

Okay, so it’s a box, and it’s brought to you by Prank Pack, these awesome (however empty) boxes are touting authentic looking, hilariously funny, but thankfully bogus products from fictitious companies hawking everything from “Bathe and Brew” a shower coffee maker and soap dispenser, to the delightfully evil “Extreme Chores” a wii type video game for your kids, that lets them do yard work, clean the cat box and wash dishes. Imagine the fun when on Christmas morning  your delightful child opens “Extreme Chores” (I’m just trying to decide when, and if, I should tell her it’s an iPad.) or the look on the ladies faces at your next obligatory baby shower when the mommy-to-be, opens the “Crib Dribbler”

Amazingly deceiving, and perfectly believable, these 11.25 x 9 x 3.25 boxes are sure to turn your next gift giving occasion into a heck of a good time. So if you want your next present to be the one that stands out from the crowd, (and is sure to be re-gifted) check out all the different Prank Packs available at amazon.com all for under 8 bucks! Someone should actually make the video game though… I’m just saying.

Light Your Stroller’s Way

Posted in: Today's Chili

For anyone who has taken a stroller out at night you will attest to the challenges. First of all get baby or child in and bundled up. Then play defense as you walk and attempt to determine if drivers or pedestrians can see you coming. Alerting others to your location certainly helps avoid disasters.

Jacootie Light wants to light your way when you take the little ones for a stroll. These headlight-like gadgets easily attach just about anywhere on your stroller. A quick release bracket means you can move them or take them when on-the-go. Each Jacootie Light contains 5 white LED bulbs. With 3 AAA batteries (not included) expect 100,000 hours of life. And the lights are water resistant – so no, you lose your excuse of walking in the rain or snow. With this luminance you will easily be noticed by anyone nearby. Adding a Jacootie Light essentially gives you the difference of driving with and without headlights in your car. In that respect it seems silly not to have them on any stroller. Get your Jacootie Light on their website for just $10.95 for one or $15.95 for two, plus $5 shipping. If you are parent in the stroller years I would highly recommend lighting your way. And if you know someone who is or soon will be in the stroller phase Jacootie Light makes a perfect, and thoughtful, gift.

Last Minute Gift Ideas!

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you thought the world was ending today and opted to not do your Christmas shopping, I’m sorry to report that you are out of luck.

Have you waited until the last minute for gifts? Or maybe you just need that one more thing. We get it. If all of us were as organized as we want to be the world would be a boring place. So don’t let the timing get you down. Thanks to technology gift certificates and vouchers provide a nice touch. You don’t have to leave your seat and your recipient gets something you know they will use. So use these links as hotlines to finishing your gift list.

Or if you are looking for something more creative that won’t carry the aura of “I waited until the last minute,” try a gift voucher from some of these service-based products.

Don’t let the stress of the waning minutes ruin the start of your holiday season! Get them something they will use and appreciate, and save yourself the hassle of battling the crowds.
