Carved from bog oak by Etsy seller Nordic Forces, this wooden watch features the likeness of the all-father Odin and his watchful ravens. The watch costs around $350 and can be customized with additional engraving or other requests.

The Camera-Shy hoodie is a piece of anti-surveillance wear created by Mac Pierce that prevents a wearer’s identification from being captured by infrared cameras. It does this by strobing the cameras with 12 ultra-bright infrared LEDs.

Sure to be this spring’s must-have car fashion accessory (don’t quote me on that), these handmade fleece gearshift hoodies from Etsy shop ShotStarPro make it appear your shift lever wants to prevent a cold start in style. 

Because it’s important that your footwear expresses your video game fandom (wait, what?), Crocs has teamed up with Minecraft to produce a collection inspired by the game. Releasing February 16th, the collection includes five different styles: adult-sized classic clog, elevated clog, and slide, and kid’s size classic and elevated clog.

Because the future nears (and it’s weirder than you expected), researchers at The University of Chicago have developed a smartwatch with a heart monitor that’s powered by slime mold. And you have to nurture that slime mold in order for its heart monitor functionality to work.

Want to really stand out at the next masquerade ball? How about donning one of these food-inspired masks from Archie McPhee instead of a traditional mask? Currently available in pancake, ham, and pizza varieties, they’re sure to get the other guests chatting!

Made by MSCHF, Smells like WD-40 is a cologne that smells like everyone’s favorite penetrating oil, WD-40. I love that smell. Smells like… loosened bolts. Now, if they could just combine it with the smells of cheap beer, skinned knuckles, and cursing, they’ll have captured the entirety of a typical Saturday afternoon spent in the garage.

Because who hasn’t dreamed of driving a giant shoe, New Balance has teamed up with Nissan to advertise its new 327 sneakers with the specially designed Nissan Kicks 327 Edition, an SUV all dressed up just like the shoe.

Want to draw attention to your ears? Just add one of these glass octopus tentacles crafted by Japanese glass artist Genki Hirano. The tentacles, created for a sea life-themed design festival, are sure to be a conversation piece.

Because things stopped making sense a long time ago, Microsoft is selling official Xbox Mini Controller Hoodies, so your gaming controllers don’t get cold when they’re not in your sweaty palms.

Developed and built by Etsy shop BionicConcepts, this biomechanical metal spine armor features everything you’d look for in new spine armor, like cool looks and light-up effects. The cyberpunk-style spine is constructed from aluminum and will be worn daily by yours truly.

Enso makes a line of celestial themed rings printed with cool space patterns like the phases of the moon, a solar eclipse, and what I assume are some sort of alien glyphs. Maybe if we can decipher them, we’ll discover the secrets of interstellar travel!

Created by Matty Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions, Squatty Slides are a pair of footwear with extendable bases to raise your legs into the optimal position for taking care of business. And by taking care of business, I mean pooping, just to be clear.

Because nobody likes a wet butt (I only face forward in the shower), the Butt Be Dry (affiliate link) is a portable seating pad to prevent the back of your pants from getting soaked while sitting on a wet seat.

Inspired by the deep sea angler fish, these slides from HelloSlippers feature a cartoon version of the goofy-looking fish, complete with a glow-in-the-dark lure dangling above your feet. Granted, I’m not sure what you’re going to catch wearing these at night, but I’d count my toes afterward.
