Hasta La Gadget!

I am quite sure that many of us have heard the expression “Money cannot buy happiness”, but it certainly can do a whole lot to lift up one’s mood, as well as help us roll back the years in terms of bringing back the memories of the past. With the $2,500 Genuine Good Humor Ice Cream Cart, you can be sure that those who have had pleasant childhood memories of the local neighborhood ice cream cart will be able to identify with this bad boy.

The Genuine Good Humor Ice Cream Cart happens to be the real deal which was made by Worksman Cycles, where it was first produced for the Good Humor company more than 75 years ago. A quartet of brass bells were made by the original manufacturer, The Blevins Bell Company, and they will hang from the handlebar which happens to be a memorable iconic feature that attracted children by the dozens to street corners in America’s growing suburbs after World War II. This purchase would arrive in the original color scheme of a blue frame and white cabinet without losing any of its heavy-duty construction capability. What ice cream are you going to put inside though?

Some people are so rich, that it seems like they have everything. Others may have just enough in terms of finances, but they can be so happy and content with life, that it would still seem like they have everything they need.

What can you get for those people this Christmas? What gift would they want, when they can either buy it easily themselves, or when they have no want for anything else because they’re perfectly content with what they already have?

The Gift of Nothing might be appropriate for those people. It’s basically a round, plastic sphere that has nothing inside. In short, it is the gift of nothing.

It was probably created as a gag gift (imagine how a kid would react if they got this!) But if you’re giving it to one of the two types of people described above, here’s an idea: give them the gift of laughter with this present, and add a little something you made (be it a poem, a letter, or a drawing) with a special message that will warm their hearts for sure.

Let people in the real world know how popular you are in real life with Fliike. It’s a physical counter that shows off how many “Likes” your page has received on Facebook in real time.

The Fliike was created by Smiirl, which is a design studio start-up based in France.

The Fliike basically connects to your Facebook page via Wi-Fi and transmits every “like” that you’ve received onto the flipboard-like counter. Personal pages won’t have much use for it, but pages for commercial purposes might, just so that establishment can show people that they’ve got a strong virtual presence.

A limited number of Fliikes are available for pre-order for $390(USD) (yes, $390!) If you’re more popular than 99,999 likes, Smiirl can add an extra numerical column to your Fliike to accommodate your massive popularity. The first batch ships out this November.

Unless you want to miss your flight on purpose or have airport security personnel give you a full body cavity search, you probably shouldn’t stick these otherwise hilarious Suitcase Stickers onto your luggage.

For obvious reasons…

The stickers available in several designs: air stewardess (who’s trapped in your bag), sugar (which is clearly not sugar…), cash (which is stacked in neat piles in a totally not suspicious way at all), and an “adult” version, which we’re not showing here – but you can use your imagination.

Fittingly enough, the product page carries the following warning:

Caution: Some of these stickers may cause offense to airport and immigration staff. But you would have figured that out whilst enjoying those cavity searches.

Fortunately, these stickers have been designed to “stick to anything”, so you’re not limited to using them on your suitcases. Stick them on your wall, on your bed, in your car, and anywhere else where you feel like making a mess of things.

Suitcase Stickers retail for $7.50(USD) each from The Cheeky.

A picture speaks a thousand words. It might be hard to discern 6×6 pixel images on your morning toast, but at least you’ll be able to get a headstart on everyone when it comes to the day’s newest images on Google with the help of the Image Toaster.

The Image Toaster basically ‘prints’ (or rather, ‘toasts’) random new images from Google onto your toast. It was created by Dutch designer Scott van Haastrecht for a school project, but it has the potential to be something big.

His toaster is still a prototype and needs to be tethered to a computer to work, although Scott explains that the final version of the toaster should be able to function via Wi-Fi and will only need a power cord to function.

Printing news or the most recent social media feeds on your morning toast? That could be a reality one day.
