Sixty DECT Phone will give you your retro fix

Posted: 08 Oct 2010 03:36 PM PDT

Most people have that one type of gadget that they adore the retro or older versions.  For me it’s phones, I can’t resist a retro or even antique phone.  I have been absolutely pining over the Crosley Black Candlestick Phone.  If you prefer your retro gadgets to have a modern touch though, you ought to look over the Sixty DECT phone from Sagemcom.  It’s a gadget that perfectly intwines modern and retro looks.

The round digital display manages to give modern conveniences, but still has that lovable old school feel.  The wireless handset is one of the rare ones these days that when away from the base you won’t confuse it as one of your remote controls.  Plus with that glossy orange finish you’ll always be able to easily spot it.  It has 10 different ringtones to choose between as well as an answering machine.  You can pick it up for 80.90EUR or about $112.

TriPot I Self Watering Planter

Posted: 08 Oct 2010 03:06 PM PDT

It seems like companies are always trying to come up with ways for you to ignore your plants a little more.  However, a lot of the self watering mechanisms are far from stylish.  Thankfully, Greenamic has come up with an attractive planter that is also capable of watering plants.  It’s the ultimate solution for those of you that tend to forget to water those green plants a little too often.

Admittedly I’m awful at keeping indoor plants watered.  I’m not sure what it is about them, but I’m just not good at it.  With this you’ll be covered for quite a while.  To make this function you just have to fill up the reservoir and your plants will be well taken care of for up to 8 weeks.  There’s even a water level indicator that’ll remind you as to when to refill the reservoir.  At first glance I thought that these cost $328, but then I noticed the little HKD in parenthesis.  As it turns out these are only $42 after you convert that number to US dollars.

Ghost Lamps bring back a tinge of Pac-Man nostalgia

Posted: 08 Oct 2010 07:00 AM PDT

Love Pac-Man to the death? Well, pun not intended, but you can always have four “ghosts” sitting in your living room (or basically anywhere you decide to place them) with these ghost lamps that will chase away shadows as well as any other imaginary monsters under your bed or sofa. Retailing for $69.99 each, it will definitely send any person dressed up as Pac-Man this Halloween season to tuck his tail between his legs, as he wouldn’t want to be cornered and eaten up alive, since all he came for was for some candy. Available in white, red, blue and yellow colors, they seem to work with US 110v only so you might think twice about importing this over to a country that has different voltage regulations.

Guess those of you living across the pond will have to import one then.

This signature Jabra style has already moved over 10 million units worldwide to date, and to provide you with even more confidence in your purchase, it has been voted as the most comfortable and stable style by consumers.
