There something nice about operating a spigot.  It just makes you feel like you’re really doing something old world like.  The BrewTender Tabletop Beer & Beverage Dispenser holds 80 ounces of your favorite chilled beverage and allows people to serve themselves.

Featuring built in lights to illuminate the beverage of choice the Brewtender also has a Lazy Susan style swiveling base for those hard of reach.  This well designed gadget also has a separate ice chamber so your precious liquids go undiluted.

Guaranteed to make you cooler that you were (pun intended), the BrewTender is on sale now for $60.

Hand this mug to someone, fill it with hot cider/tea/eggnog and Pacman, his enemies and tasty fruit treats will reveal themselves, that is until the beverage cools.  This mug has Urban Outfitter written all over it, but nonetheless, it could make the perfect holiday gift for the die retro gamer.

By now we’ve seen an almost endless array of alarm clocks that take a new fangled approach on the tried and tested classic ringing bell version.  My favorite still has to be the Blowfly that went from concept to actual product thanks to gadget blogs like this.

Much like the Earthquake Alarm Clock from two years ago, the Shake N Wake Alarm clock vibrates to awaken you from your slumber at a preset time.  It also includes an audible alarm and a wrist strip.

Suprisingly it only costs £14.99 ($25 US).

Even though winter isn’t generally known for sun, a beefy array of Christmas lights will always run up your electricity bill.  These solar powered lights might be a great alternative for those on a budget but not willing to cut out the holiday cheer.  However, the cost of this expensive item may really  outweigh the potential savings on your electric bill.  On sale now for $65 per 102 light strand.

Unlike standard outdoor holiday lights that must be tethered to an electric source, these solar powered lights can be strung anywhere in your yard. A small solar panel stakes into the ground up to 7′ away from the light strand and powers 102 bright LEDs for up to nine hours after an eight-hour charge. Seven different light patterns dance along the strand in succession, or you can select your favorite sequence to flash continuously or have the lights provide steady illumination with the touch of a button. The solar panel gathers moderate or direct sunlight during the daytime and automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The 32′ 9″-long strand provides enough slack to adorn trees, railings, or lampposts. The LEDs are rated for 10,000 hours of operation.

In what one could easily consider unorthodox, the LightSleeper actually uses light to help lull you to sleep.  The little egg shaped gadget projects a shaped light image onto the ceiling and rotates it around in a circular pattern.  All you have to do is focus your eyes and watch the pattern evolve and you begin to fell sleepy.

If you wake up at any point in the night and can’t fall back asleep, just tap the LightSleeper and the sequence will start all over.  The LightSleeper itself will shutdown automatically after 30 minutes.

If you have a really problem with insomnia and feel like you have no where else to turn, it may be in your best interest to check out the LightSleeper.  Priced at a question mark inducing $209.

I am either too cheap or too poor to turn on the heat in my house.  In either case, I saw this upscale firepit and had to investigate further.  For those of you in the right tax bracket, this could be a great way to spice up your living quarters this winter.

The Cal Flame G5000 Firepit includes an industrial grade round glass tabletop big enough to fit full size dinner plates as well as a 360 degree footrest with lighting effects.  How do you get down in there to make the actual fire I wonder?

At $6,900, I can file this item under “dream I’ll never live” and walk away with emotions unscathed.

When your snowball fight reaches critical mass, you can be that dude that comes out of nowhere in slow motion with the weapon that will win the battle.  The Sno-Fling could be just that.  Essentially just a stick with a cup at the end, it allows your hands to never have to touch the snow.  Where’s the authenticity in that?

All you have to do is jam the stick into the snow and fling the formed ball at the enemy.  You can also blow into the other end of the stick as it acts as a battle horn sounding victory across the battlefield.  On sale now for $6.

So before you completely dismiss the Rihanna Kitchen Scale with built-in iPod dock, consider how often you listen to music while cooking?  Ah, ah, that’s right, now you know what I’m talking about.  But, yeah, seriously, this is beyond gimmick.  If you look closely the 2-watt speaker resides just underneath the glass surface, which will no doubt make for some interesting sound quality.

Currently the Rihanna kitchen scale is in a concept only stage, but the company, ADE, does have plans to bring it to market for just over $100.

Where there is gimmick there is sales!

Have you ever left the house or the apartment, and been struck by the sudden horror that you didn’t turn off your stove or your toaster or your television or whatever?  Yeah, I’ve been there too once or twice.  And I know some people who’ve made an entire psychological disorder out of something like that.

Well, there’s a new gadget, currently in the prototype stage, called the PowerZoa.  The PowerZoa can be used to remotely cut power to any gadget plugged into an outlet.  Everything from your stove to your toaster can be suddenly, remotely, disabled.  The PowerZoa transmits details on power use to a secure website, which you can log into to remotely disable your gadgets.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that such a gadget could be used against you, but even so, what happens?  You unplug the PowerZoa and replug your appliance back into the wall.  For people who worry about leaving things on, this is a great device.

It’s probably safe to assume that more people would own ladders if they could store them effectively.  Especially those tight on space.  Condensing down to 2.5 feet during storage the ladder will extend to 12.5.  Assembled using aircraft aluminum and steel connectors, this ladder is quite the engineering marvel. No word yet on price or release date.  Depending on what the price ends up being, this could be a great gift for the Bob Vila in your family.

Got roommates?  Then you’re probably missing some food, drink or beer.  Ah, but there’s a resolve.  While it won’t thwart off the master criminal with a hack saw, or small pocket knife, the Fridge Locker will prevent unwanted friends, roommates and siblings from ganking  your food during a late night munchy run.

It measures 7.5 inches wide x 7.5 inches tall x 11 inches deep and costs just $20.  It doesn’t include a pad lock, but that’s good, because then you can choose between a combo or key version depending on what kind of forgetful you are.

How sweet it is.  To finally trump the Garden Nome comes the awesome Lawn Jawa.  Crafted from a high quality solid plastic resin, this fully painted Jawa will stand guard no matter what the weather forecast.

Standing at a foot tall, only Star Wars purists will be able you if this Jawa is to scale or not, but I don’t care-I like this little guy no matter how “historically” accurate he is.

It actually reminds me of those tiny cross-dimensional beings from the Phantasm movies.  The Tall Man!

You can pre-order this Lawn Jawa now for $35, and it will ship on December 9th.

What’s portable, cute and loves to listen to your every command?  If you said Moshi’s Voice Control Travel Alarm Clock, then you’re spot on.

I have yet to try out any of Moshi’s voice activated alarm clocks, but according to their press release with the push of button you can activate up to 9 settings simply by speaking a command(no programming required), which includes setting the time, alarm, snooze, and asking for the temperature.

The palm sized Moshi Travel Alarm Clock is available in pink, blue, white, and black at their website and will be available at select Bed Bath & Beyond stores come mid to late November. Price: $25.

Ever wish your bathroom was more like one you’d find in an upscale boutique hotel?  Dress up your favorite homeless guy as a bathroom attendant and buy this automatic soap dispenser from SimpleHuman and you’re just about there.

Powered by four AA batteries the dispenser has an LED that lights up to show you that your hands or whatever else is under the sensor, and that soap is about to discharge.  There’s also 4 settings to determine how much soap you want to dispense.

Priced at $30, this is yet another great gift idea for the germaphobe all up in your area.

All this awesomeness can be yours for only $189.  Does anyone think this is cool?  Shatner?

I love the absolutely simple but brilliant products.  Such is the case of the Aqua Jar.  It attaches to the universal screw top of any water bottle and instantly turns it into a pitcher.  It’s made from biodegradable and recyclable plastic and comes in orange, graphite and frost.  I’m not sure where you can purchase one but sign me up.  Looks like a good holiday gift as well.
