12 Horrible Christmas Gifts To Help Say, “I Hate You”

Posted by Miss Cellania in Christmas on December 22, 2011 at 7:39 am

There’s a danger in buying Christmas gifts without thinking of what they really mean. You might be surprised at some of the available gifts that send an awful message! Our own Jill Harness rounded up some of the strangest items advertised as Christmas gifts that might ruin a relationship because of the implied message behind them. And if you were to receive one of these, at least you know how much they really care. Pictured is a belly button brush -just what Mom always wanted. Link

Lucas Jatobá spent three years living in Barcelona and had the time of his life. Now the Brazilian is moving to Sydney, Australia, and he wanted to do something nice to say goodbye to Barcelona. A Spanish travel website helped him with 250 theater tickets, which he attached to balloons and released over the city. The song is “Change the World” by Canadian singer Jessica Allossery. -Thanks, Lucas!

Prank Packs

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on November 2, 2010 at 10:55 am

Prank Packs are gift boxes with ridiculously fake products printed on the outside. Give a gift in one of these and be ready for an uncomfortably awkward expression of gratitude: “Uh, thanks, I always wanted a motorized rolling pin (or a talking coffee cup, or a hat that doubles as a fish net).” That’s when you show them the nice personal gift that you put inside! This year’s new designs include the pictured iArm, the Pet Petter, and the Family Blankeez. Link

Personal Branding Iron

Posted by Miss Cellania in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on December 2, 2009 at 10:09 am

This company will make a tiny branding iron with your name on it! The product is a metal part that will replace the head of a disposable cigarette lighter. Fire up the lighter, and your branding iron will be hot in no time. Yes, it sounds dangerous, that’s why the description says “for decorative purposes only.” What could possibly go wrong?

Design Your Own Chocolate Bar

Posted by Queuebot in Blogs & Internet, Food & Drink on November 23, 2009 at 10:18 am

Did you ever wish you could create the chocolate of your dreams? A German company named chocri allows people like you and me to customize chocolate bars, not only by determining which name is printed on the packaging, but more importantly by combining a base chocolate (dark, milk or white) with your choice of more than 90 toppings. The toppings can be dried fruit and nuts (what we would expect), but can also be crazy, like chive rolls, jalapenos or real gold flakes. The chocolate is fair trade, organic, and sales benefit kids on the Ivory Coast.

One percentage of our revenues goes directly to the organization DIV Kinder, which supports and protects children on the Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast is the biggest exporter of cocoa beans on this planet. Our customers also get a chance to donate a small amount at checkout. Together, we’ve already raised thousands of Euros to benefit the children.

Chocri is expanding their sales into the United States beginning in January. Link

15 Worst Valentine’s Day Gift

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on January 27, 2009 at 8:36 pm

What to get your loved ones for Valentine’s Day? Whatever you do, do not get them these gifts. Here’s the 15 worst Valentine’s Day gift, as compiled by our very own Jill Harness for InventorSpot:

Any fan of J. Geils Band, will certainly know "Love Stinks." Never before was this quite so perfectly illustrated before this wonderful message was delivered with fake poop. It may actually not stink like the real thing, but I’m sure your date will understand the underlying hate in your gift of "I love you" poop.

Make Your Own Gift Bows

Posted by Stacy in Art, Christmas on December 16, 2008 at 9:44 pm


I can’t sit still. Like, pretty much ever. I can sit still in a movie theater if I have to, but if I’m sitting at home watching TV or something, I can’t just sit. Which is probably why I blog. Anyway, my point is, making these bows is a fabulous thing to do if you need something to cure idle hands. They’re very, very addicting. And you’re recycling at the same time! Plus, they’re so much more original and different than anything you’ll find in a store. That’s one of my bows in the picture, but here’s the original post on Craftster that will show you how to make your own.
