Well at least one of the most memorable. And that ring stays with us day and night. It is truly the ultimate symbol and reminder of commitment. From what my husband said, the ring instantly expresses personality. The challenge becomes finding a personality that matches the recipient. So when you are ready to take the plunge it is important to take all of this into consideration. No pressure! A tattoo artist from New Jersey decided to take the plunge and propose to his girlfriend. And he truly put it all together when thinking about the ring: eternal commitment, beauty, Star Wars. Wha? Yes, Joe Pagani used his girlfriend's love of Star Wars as inspiration. With help from jewelry designer Paul Michael Bieker, Pagani got himself an R2-D2 inspired engagement ring. Included are diamonds and sapphires to make out R2's white and blue coloring. The structure of the ring resembles the mechanical look of our favorite little droid. The sides even resemble his arms…or are they legs? Regardless it is truly a one-of-a-kind creation that expresses the brides personality and will live for eternity, but maybe not in a galaxy far far away. Oh, by the way – Joe proposed to Emily on Halloween and she said yes! Visit the designers blog for more pictures of the ring and the day.

Touted to offer "a real alternative to cigarettes", I do wonder just how accurate that particular claim is considering how there has been a slew of electronic cigarettes in the past. Njoy Kings is said to offer the committed adult smoker an authentic look, feel, flavor and packaging of a traditional tobacco cigarette, but it will not be accompanied by all the negatives such as smoke, ash and cigarette smell. In a nutshell, Njoy intends to deliver smokers with more of what they want, and of course, for their health and the health of others' sake, less of what they don’t. There has been some creative ads in the past to help prevent folks from picking up the habit of smoking, but you do not see the tobacco industry reeling from lower sales in the long run. Even the thought of literally burning money has yet to deter those hooked on cigarettes, but perhaps the Njoy Kings might be able to turn the tide. Retailing for just $7.99, the Njoy Kings can be found in more than 30,000 convenience stores as well as nearly every major convenience chain. Sporting a couple of nicotine levels of 4.5% and 3.0% by volume, it will come in traditional and menthol flavors, courtesy of Njoy’s award-winning Master Flavorist. Sporting a soft paper feel, squeezable tip and flip case packaging, this is truly an innovative shift in the e-cigarette industry. Craig Weiss, President and CEO of Njoy, said, “Today’s launch of the NJOY Kings marks a major milestone for NJOY in our commitment to set the gold standard for the e-cigarette industry. This product is unlike any other e-cigarette on the market today offering the very first truly satisfying alternative to the tobacco cigarette. Industry analysts agree, the NJOY Kings e-cigarette is a game-changer within the tobacco category.” Anyone given it a go, and how do you find it so far?

Well, this is the first dedicated mobile gaming device from Archos which runs on the Android operating system, but as to whether it is capable of challenging the Nintendo 3DS, let alone the Sony PS Vita or aged Sony PSP remains to be seen. After all, having fantastic hardware is nothing if you do not have the kind of software to go along with it, and let's face it – the Android operating system is not exactly a hotbed for game developers to hang around and play in. Perhaps the GamePad could be a catalyst of something bigger down the road, who knows? Still, the Archos GamePad is a beauty to look at. Just what kind of features does the Archos GamePad bring to the table? Well, it is a new kind of revolutionary tablet (or at least, it hopes to be) that will merge physical gaming button controls alongside an Archos patented mapping tool, not to mention a full Android-powered tablet experience to boot. You get physical buttons and analog thumb-sticks, as well as the unique mapping software thrown into the mix which enables you to link the virtual controls of any game to physical controls. It will run off Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, but this does not mean it will not be on the receiving end of an operating system update sometime down the road. Not only that, you will be able to gain full access to Google Play and Google Mobile Services, and if you are interested, you can pick up the Archos GamePad for €149.99 in Europe at the moment (hello, Christmas!), while folks living in the US and Canada will have to play the patience card, missing out on a Christmas release as the Archos GamePad is tipped for a rollout in that region sometime in the first quarter of next year.

Especially when one has already joined the workforce for a fair number of years, and have managed to stash away a little bit of dough. Well, if you have always wanted to purchase a remote controlled toy of your own but never got around to doing so, perhaps it is time to make things happen – with the new $39.99 R/C Water Cannon Helicopter. Yes sir, as its name suggests, the R/C Water Cannon Helicopter will not only hover around the air according to your whim and fancy, it will also carry with it a water reservoir that offers water blasting fun, now how about that? You can juice up its battery thanks to a USB port, where counter rotating blades will deliver precision control. Definitely far more fun than a super soaker, and you can drive your cat nuts this time around (after it has done the same to you for countless times over the years, that is) by shooting at it strategically. Each purchase comes with a pair of spare tail blades, a couple of spare main blades, and a water injection tool set. It takes around an hour to fully charge it, and it will work within a range of 30 feet thereabouts barring any interference.

For starters, it certainly fires up the imagination further, as you no longer have to make do with a DIY substitute (or a stick for a lightsaber, for instance), and the other would be the fact that is shows the world just where your loyalties lie when it comes to science fiction and video game franchises. Having said that, here we are with the $34.99 Minecraft Light-Up Torch that comes in all its pixelated glory, being full well capable of producing level 14 light, and is far easier to obtain one with cash compared to crafting one out. The Minecraft Light-Up Torch can be mounted to your wall for that added touch of authenticity, and as a night light, it will still be able to scare monsters away, making sure they remain under the bed and do not, in any way, terrorize your little ones at night. It is powered by a trio of AAA batteries, so we would highly recommend rechargeables if you are going to use this for the long run.
