Today’s remote control vehicles – like the Swann Quad Starship – aren’t like the simple wired-and-one-way cars of the past. What we’ve got now are machines that do just about anything, controlled with your smartphone or remotely, flying, diving, and driving like mad. The Swan Quad Starship only does a few of these things – […]
I remember being a kid and having a little wooden cigar box in which to keep all my treasures. I would have given anything if that little box could have locked. There was something magical about being able to keep your secrets safe. I still have a little memento box, and I think they could be cute gifts for any little girl.
Check out the Girl Tech Keepsake Box, a modern spin on a centuries old tradition, this box happens to be the ultimate password-protected keepsake box for all of a girl’s private things. Once you set up, and lock this cute little pink box, it will only open to its owners voice and only if the secret password is spoken, can it be opened to reveal her treasures.
The Keepsake box comes with special digital memory tagging stickers and matching keys to help her “catalog” some of her special trinkets,ensuring she will never forget the stories behind each item. Adding to the excitement, she will find hidden within the box, an extra secret compartment for top secret, or special items that will require a second password in order to open.
So if you have a little girl, who might enjoy a remembrance box with some added security against pesky brothers, or little sisters. This might be the perfect gift. It’s available on amazon.com for under 35 bucks batteries not included, and if you still need help figuring out your Christmas lists, don’t forget to check out our coolest-gadgets.com gift guides.

Fictional billionaire Tony Stark is notoriously known to be extremely poor when it comes to choosing and giving gifts, at least this is what we have gathered from the Iron Man movies on the silver screen so far. This does not mean that you should emulate him in this matter, and if your other half has a huge love and admiration for this all-too-human superhero from the Marvel Universe, then you might want to get them the $44.99 Marvel Iron Man 3 LED Arc Reactor Ring.
The Marvel Iron Man 3 LED Arc Reactor Ring will not be able to power up an entire building with green energy, but it will still be able to light up thanks to its built-in batteries. Made out of solid metal alloy and accompanied by an enameled metallic finish, all you need to do is give it a tap, and it will begin to glow in a bright white manner. This particular accessory will glow for a full minute after being tapped, but unfortunately, it is unable to shoot repulsor beams – which is a good thing too, actually, since you might never know what kind of havoc can happen if that were to be a feature in the Marvel Iron Man 3 LED Arc Reactor Ring.

It’s no secret that kids these days love their technology. It’s not unusual to find kids glued to their phones or computers. There aren’t to many little gizmos out there that actually encourage kids to connect and interact with their buddies, especially younger kids. It would be nice to have a little gadget gift for the elementary school set.
Well, here it is, check out Hallmark’s Text Bands, cute little watch-like bands that help your little ones swap messages, words, or secrets, and inside jokes by wearing one of these fashionable bands and then bumping fists, shaking hands, high-fiving, or a half a dozen other ways we haven’t even thought of.
Simply choose a starter band, that comes equipped with a text module, and that’s where the fun begins. When your kids see other kids wearing a Text Band, they can instantly transfer their messages from band to band. Bands themselves can also be changed and traded, with many colors and themes available.
Set up is easy, simply enter up to 10 characters into the screen on the band , and swap them with a fist bump or hand shake. The bands light up as the message transfers from band to band and your Text Band holds up to 24 messages at a time, giving kids the perfect excuse to connect with their friends again and again. A great stocking stuffer, for under 10 bucks, at amazon.com.

Sometimes well-placed propaganda is the strongest weapon of all. So the folks at Brando have come across what could be the most dangerous RC toy ever devised, armed with an extra spinning rotor that displays custom messages. Because a foam arrow to the eye doesn’t hurt nearly as much as the revelation that "Jason smells like poop."

We’ve all been encouraged to reduce, reuse, and recycle to help the environment, but helping Mother Nature can have its own consequences. Case in point: this simple block of wood called the Stix, which is strategically notched to let you reuse sticks or dried-up pens to construct a working elastic gun. Great for conserving our natural resources, but terrible for the poor co-workers caught in the crosshairs.

New York-based industrial design manager and pilot Shai Goitein has given his PowerUp paper airplane motor a giant upgrade. First launched in 2011, the PowerUp module could turn a standard homemade paper airplane into a longer-flying, propeller-powered machine. But there was no accelerating, banking, climbing or descending, and it could only fly for 90 seconds. […]
The wild, wild west has always been the bedrock of many an interesting yarn to listen to, and even until today, there are young and impressionable kids out there who would love to live out the life of a sheriff, hunting down outlaws and making sure that those who practice a life of crime will not be able to reap the temporary rewards that accompany it. For that young one of yours who does seem to have a penchant for guns, the £14.99 Stixtoy Gun might be a reasonable purchase for the coming holiday season.
With it, you are more than free to come up with your very own rubberband toy gun, and it would be interesting to see dads fight with their kids for ownership of this puppy. I say, why not get two of these bad boys and run riot around the home? Those who can remember how in their younger days, they used rubberbands with twigs and branches to create their own “gun”, but why not let someone do all the work for you while you start to device your next “stick-up”? Who knows, it could very well be a raid on the kitchen for that prized cookie jar and its contents.

The simplicity of the Rubik’s Cube puzzle is what makes it so devilishly difficult to solve at times. It’s just a bunch of colored squares, but getting them to group together can be a life’s pursuit for many people. So who in their right mind thought that taking the Rubik’s Cube formula and adding mathematical patterns of numbers into the mix was a good idea? Clearly someone with a deep love of mathematics, or a sincere hatred for humanity.

There’s no doubt now that the folks at Dead Zebra have a solid combination of style and pop-culture connection on their hands with their officially licensed Android Figurine series.
