They start at $269(USD) and go up to $419, depending on the size.

It’s also how the Bubble Boy gets around town.

Just push any number 0 through 9 on the watch, and it’ll blink out the current time using small LEDs mounted into the face of each button. The display supports both 12- and 24-hour time modes. A press of the pound sign shows the date, using the same blinking LED method.

The chunky buttons are supposed to be reminiscent of a computer keyboard, but to me they look more like an old pushbutton phone. Either way, it’s definitely a unique design, and I’m pretty sure the guy standing next to you won’t be wearing one.

You can get the Keypad watch in dark blue or ivory with blue LEDs, brown or black with white LEDs, or grey with red LEDs. I particularly like the brown and grey ones as they look very militaristic to me.

They’re available now at Watchismo now for $89.99 (USD) each. Just don’t try to do any math with one – you will fail.

There are four different LEGO-style boxes in the series, two smaller onces in blue and green, which are supposed to be use for aluminum and glass respectively, and two larger ones in yellow and white, for paper and plastic. The models are specifically color-coded for the Italian recycling system, but they can be modified for a bunch of different uses.

Since they are based on the interlocking structure of LEGOs, they can be easily stacked in a variety of different configurations. My only question is this: with enough of them, could you build a house out of them?

Deal Extreme is selling two film camera kits – a 35mm camera and a dual lens pinhole camera. As you can see, they’re just like the robot model kits that are popular with mecha and toy hobbyists. With the exception of some screws and springs, all of the parts are made of ABS plastic, even the optics.

Unlike Gunpla and other model kits, which look bad ass but are actually quite fragile and don’t really do any roboty stuff – they just pose daintily in their glass cages, frozen, helpless, dolls – these cameras actually work. Assuming you can put them together properly of course.

You can order the 35mm camera from Deal Extreme for about $13 (USD). A kitschier white and blue model is also available. The dual lens pinhole camera is a bit more expensive at $20, but that’s because it can take panoramic and stereoscopic 3D shots. Now I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that the cameras are cheap and are sold in pieces, but just think of it this way: they’re making you pay less to have more fun.

Of course assembling a camera isn’t the same as actually manufacturing it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up with something that looks and works like you made it from scratch. Yes I mean that in a negative way. Yes that was a photography pun. Yes I will stop now.

The prototypes were constructed using fiberglass and polyester resin, with some manual layering. Initially, there were only four made, but now they will be available for all in 4 different colors. They will be made out of 100% recyclable material.

The chairs are made using a plastic roto-molding technique, and can be used indoors and outdoors. The chairs will be available in white, blue, green, and dark grey. You won’t find those funkier colors that we saw last year, ie spray painted etc. The only question that remains is how expensive they’ll be.

These things are basically a baggie that is large enough for your iPad and fits snugly. You can still operate the controls and touchscreen through the bag. The idea is that the plastic won’t let spills through to damage your tablet. The name suggests kitchen use, but these would be just as at home protecting your iPad at the pool, beach or lake.

They will work anywhere spills are an issue. They will do nothing to protect from drops though. A pack of 25 sleeves is $19.99 (USD) and a pack of 50 will cost you $34.99. I say just use a zip lock baggie; it will do the same thing.

This cool bowl by Dominic Wilcox reminds me of those summer days setting stuff on fire in my backyard. The designer took a bunch of those plastic army men and melted them into the shape of a bowl. I use the term loosely since to qualify as a bowl in my opinion you have to be able to eat Lucky Charms out of it and this thing has holes all in it.

It looks to me like the dude who made the bowl just took the men, stuck them in a wok, and cooked them up a bit. The finished product would be a cool fruit bowl. The thing totally gives me a great idea of a holiday wreath made from all the toys my kids broke since last Christmas all melted together.

The watch is supposed to look like a city at night I guess. I don’t really see that. It looks more like a circuit board to me or the surface of the Borg Cube. The hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed on the different color lines. The hours are in blue, the minutes in blocks of five are on the orange line, and the single minutes are on the green.

The blue numbers that are hard coded on the front light up along with the proper hour, and there are orange numeric indicators for 15 and 30 minutes past the hour (but not 45 minutes for some reason). You have to see how far the line goes to actually read the time. Coming from a guy that avoids watches with a normal face that have no numbers, this thing would drive me crazy.

Designed by Thomas Gerhardt and Dan Provost, this pint-sized piece of rubberized plastic mounts onto any tripod or camera mount with a standard 1/4″-20 thread. And for those times when you’re not in photo-taking mode, the compact contraption turns into a nifty stand so you can view images or videos on your iPhone. When not in use, it converts into an antenna guard, so you can keep it on your iPhone at all times.

Proving that the Internet truly is revolutionizing product development, the $20 device started out as a Kickstarter project, with its makers sights set on generating $10,000 to get their project funded. Amazingly, they’ve raised over $137,000 to date, and will start shipping the Glif in about 2 or 3 weeks. You can pre-order one here.

The whole dress is then connected to a pumping backpack which precisely times the movement of the fluids – resulting in an amazing lightshow. But enough of my yakkin’. Watch, and be mesmerized…

Trippy, no? Now all he has to do is figure out a way to make it truly portable, and he’d be able to sell thousands of these for rave-goers.

The $24.95 Pick Punch looks like a giant single hole punch you might find in an office. Rather than punching out paper, the Pick Punch creates pics that measure 30mm H x 25.5mm wide at the top in a roughly triangular 351 pick style. You can put images between clear sheets of material and punch them into a pick if you want.

The product page doesn’t say how thick of a material you can punch with the thing. I would go around making picks out of anything the Pick Punch could cut through. The company offers a bunch of different color sheets of material you can punch out and most of them are 0.8mm thick. The sheets are $3.00 each.

I would love to make a few picks out of my wife’s credit card, which would be $25 bucks well spent.

Designed by Rob Slewe of BLOOM, the Battery portable lamp has a built in battery pack that provides enough juice to power a high efficiency 11-watt fluorescent bulb.

Plus, it just looks cool when you’re hanging out in the great outdoors with one of these by your side.

The Battery lamp is available in 8 different colors, and in both 40cm (appx. 16″) and 56cm (appx. 22″) tall versions over at BLOOM’s online shop, where they sell for €239 to €259 (appx. $331 to $359 USD).

It’s also supposed to make gameplay more comfortable for your fingers, but you’ll have to get one to find out if that’s the case. In addition to transforming the D-Pad, the Wii Magic Stick covers the “A”, “1″ and “2″ buttons with slightly larger, easier to press buttons that protrude from the face of your controller. You just snap the Magic Stick onto the front of your Wii-mote and you’re all set.

A pair of Wii Magic Sticks will set you back just $7 (USD) over at Brando. Of course if you want some real joysticks for your Wii, I’d suggest you hold off and wait for the new Wii Classic Controller Pro.

Will Langford from BotMade used his desktop MakerBot CNC to create this iPod/iPhone charging dock. The dock was made by building a 3D model on his computer, then allowing MakerBot to print out thin layers of plastic stacked on top of each other. The plastic snaps onto a block of sturdy plywood for stability.

You’ll still need to provide your own iPod charging cable, but the dock can be purchased over on Etsy for $23 (USD). Or you can build your own MakerBot and crank out your own 3D creations with some of the models over at Thingiverse.

The ingenious design adds tiny little pushable “buttons” that line up perfectly with the keyboard on the screen of the iPhone. They’ve even designed the 4iThumbs to be easily removable when you don’t need to type that much. The video below shows exactly how it’s installed and used.

The 4iThumbs tactile overlay is available here in both landscape ($16.95 USD) and portait ($14.95) versions, depending on your typing preference. They’re also selling a bundle with both versions for $19.95.

These Xmas Declaration ornaments are perfect for sending a bold political statement with your holiday tree this year. Each shiny plastic ornament is modeled after a hand grenade, and is guaranteed to not actually blow up your tree – unless you decide to fill yours with black powder.  The ornament hanger that looks like a grenade’s safety pin is a nice touch.

They come in sets of six over at Suck UK for £20 (appx. $32 USD) , and a portion of each purchase will result in a donation to Ctrl.Alt.Shift‘s fight against global injustice.

But seriously the tops of canned drinks can be really dirty; one commenter on Boing Boing Gadgets agrees with me and gives the thumbs down to the Bottle Tops as well. But the others say that it’s perfect for beer for a couple of reasons – one, because it keeps the carbon dioxide from escaping, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to empty huge cans of booze, and two, because if you cover the can itself the bottle top makes it look like you’re drinking an energy drink. In other words, it keeps the fizz in and keeps the fuzz out.

But the dagger ended up to be the product’s quality: several commenters claimed that the edge of the bottle tops wore off after a while and couldn’t snap on cans anymore. It’s cheap though: $10 (USD) at Taylor Gifts for a pack of 12.

TV Armor is a simple, yet ingenious invention that keeps your LCD or Plasma TV from getting cracked, scratched, dirty or otherwise slimy by covering the screen with a thin, but durable acrylic shield. A 1/4″ thick layer of optical-grade plastic is thick enough to keep your screen from getting damaged, but won’t interfere with picture quality. Just slide the TV Armor over the top of your TV, fasten the Velcro straps, and you won’t have to worry about flying Wii-motes smashing your precious investment.

They’re available in a variety of sizes to fit whatever screen you have, and prices range from $69 to $289 (USD), depending on screen size. You can order yours over at the TV Armor website.

Remember, your kids’ wounds will heal, plasmas and LCDs won’t.

Now you can slice and dice cakes and other tender foods with the Table Saw, a serrated kitchen knife that looks just like a hand saw. Designed by Winnif Pang for Fred & Friends, you can pre-order one over at Amazon for $7.99 (USD).

Or you could just head down to your neighborhood Home Depot, and grab a real saw.

Designed by renowned architect Will Alsop + Federico Grazzini, the Daytimer watch features a high-contrast blue OLED digital display, framed by a bold geometric polyurethane case.

Instead of just laying there like any old watch, the Daytimer features a 3-dimensional polygonal case structure that’s just slightly askew. As time passes, the display cycles through nine graphics (of what, I don’t know) on its OLED screen when you press the button to recall the time.

The Daytimer comes in four colors: red, green, purple and black, and is available from Emmo Home for $120 (USD).
