I have been pining for a dog of my own since I was seven but I haven’t gotten around to getting one just yet. Although I’m sure that when I do get one, the Pet Loc8tor will be on the top of my list of things to get.

Of course, I can think of a whole bunch of other uses for the Loc8tor. For instance, my sister always throws a hissy fit when she turns her back for a minute and looks back to realize that her 1-year-old baby has crawled out and away from her pastel crib. The Loc8tor can definitely solve that problem in a sec

In my case (since I’m still baby-less), I can probably hook up one of the locators on my keychain since I’m always misplacing those darned keys and realizing that I don’t have them with me as I’m leaving home to go to work (with a little over ten minutes to spare before I’m late again!)

The whole Pet Loc8tor set comes with two homing devices and one handheld locator and is available from ThinkGeek for only $79.99 (USD).

Not all of the designs in WebUrbanist’s excellent collection are traditional graffiti; some of the artwork is “reverse graffiti.” Instead of painting or otherwise marking a surface, the artist carefully cleans the areas that need to be lighter for the design. There are usually plenty of places in our cities for the intrepid young artist to practice that form.

Created by La Tête Au Cube (the same guys who make the excellent Space Invaders door mat), these colorful aliens are perfect hung from a bookbag, keychain, zipper or anywhere you want to show that you’re a member of theInvaders’ cult.

I’m actually thinking about covering my Christmas tree with a crapload of these guys in lieu of my regular ornaments this year.

French design retailer Collette has cornered the exclusive to sell these through November 15h, then after that, you should be able to buy them direct from La Tête Au Cube for €5 (appx. $9 USD) per Invader.

Now you can bring back those fond floppy memories with these clever floppy disk gift tags. Edinburgh, Scotland crafter feelfuzzy makes these gift tags from leftover retro 3.5-inch floppy disk labels, adhered to heavy card stock, and hung from a string.

They’re available over on Etsy for $5.50 a pack of 5. Of course, if you happen to have box of floppies lying around, just grab a drill, punch a hole through the corner of the disk itself, and you’ll be just that much cooler when you hand out the presents.

I’m not sure if tagZ will be the next big trend with the kidZ, but they sure look cooler than the tacky glow stick necklaces that show up at the occasional rave. TagZ are available from RED5 for £10.00 each (just under $20 USD.)
