Throwdown Bed
By Fresno
Most people will never actually get to step into an official MMA ring, but apparently anyone can sleep in something pretty close if they have $1,000 kicking around. The Throwdown bed uses actual fencing with foam padded rails. It comes in twin, full, queen and even king sizes in case you really want to work on your Jiu Jitsu rolling. You even get to have your nickname printed on it. Mattress and ring girls sold separately.
Belkin Conserver Valet
By Fresno
Chances are, you've heard some self-righteous blowhard use the phrase "electricity vampires" when referring to gadgets that stay plugged into the wall even when they're not in use. While we would never use that stupid phrase, we can see the folly in using up electricity to power something we're not even using. That's where Belkin's magic little table comes in. It can charge up to four devices at once and it shuts off automatically when there's nothing plugged in, rather than constantly draining sweet electricity from your wall. It also organizes your cords and keeps you from having to search for your charger every night. If nothing else, just having it on your desk will help convince visitors you're not a slob that hates mother earth.
White Castle-Scented Candles
By Fresno
Full disclosure: Our office pretty much smells like White Castle 100% of the time. But, if you're not as committed to the tiny burgers as we are, you can supplement your abode's oniony scent with these novelty candles. Each one costs $10, which seems like kind of a lot since one of the sliders will make your house, clothes, breath and internal organs smell like meat and onions for like two months after eating it. The candle is housed in the iconic white and blue container (it's made from ceramic, not paper like the ones the food comes in). Luckily, the high price is justified by the fact that the net proceeds go to Autism Speaks foundation.
Better Marriage Blanket
By Fresno
We might be a little late to the party on this one, but that's only because, after having seen the commercial, we were pretty sure this was some kind of SNL parody commercial. Apparently, though, this fart-stopping blanket is all too real and is making its way into the bedrooms of gassy couples all across the country. The commercial touts the fact that it's made from the same material that the military uses to combat chemical warfare. There are even some quotes from satisfied customers on the site, including this one from Elena in Arizona, "It must be working because I have not woken myself up since I started using it!" So, was Elena busting farts so gross that they were actually waking her up at night? We weren't aware this was such a widespread problem, but we're glad that it has been solved with military--and informercial--precision.
iLuv iMM 183 Dual iPod Dock
By Fresno
There are plenty of speaker systems and alarm clocks out there that will happily accept your iPod, but the iMM183 is the only game in town if you want it to accept two players via dock. The alarm clock function lets you customize your wake-up tones. That means you can have separate alarms using different tracks from two different iPods. That's the kind of neurotic control we like. It costs $150, but will charge both of your iPods and puts out a surprising amount of sound for an alarm clock. If you get sick of your own music, you can always switch over to the FM radio or even the NOAA/S.A.M.E Weather Hazard Alert stations. It's perfect if your girl has an iPod, too. Or if you're just a lonely guy with too many gadgets. Not that we know what that's like.
If you work in an office with a graphic designer, chances are he or she has the swankiest desk layout in the whole cubicle farm. From our experience, the same usually goes for their houses. The RGB light is built with design nerds in mind, representing the basic elements of the visible light spectrum. It's very clearly European, which further adds to the impressiveness factor it'll add to your crib, which is currently being lit by one of those light bulbs in an orange cage that are meant to go under a car hood. There's no pricing currently available, but you can bet it's going to set you back a lot of Euros if you can actually get one. But hey, if you want to trick people into thinking you're sophisticated, you're going to have to pay the price.
iLuve iMM178 Vibe Alarm Clock
By Fresno
Despite its decidedly, ahem, adult-sounding name, the iLuv is actually designed to get you out of bed rather than keep you in it. It's based around a normal iPod alarm clock. Plug in your iPod Touch (or iPhone) and you can wake up to your own music. The cool part comes in when you start using the bed-shaker. It's attached by a cord to the radio and shakes vigorously when it's time to get up. It's harder to sleep through than the normal sound alarm and a little less jarring at the same time. It will set you back $89, which isn't cheap for an alarm clock, but that might help curb your urge to throw it across the room every time it goes off.
If your girl happens to live far away, pictures can be a great gift. But, Sending her a 10.2-inch LDC display that hooks up to their wireless network and displays updated versions of the photos you keep online is a lot better. The DreamScreen is a versatile little panel, playing nice with online services like Pandora, Facebook and Snapfish. The high-res screen makes your pictures look a lot better than they already are and the handy remote makes navigation super simple. The 10.2-inch model costs $199, but if you want your mug displayed bigger in her room, you can fork over an extra $50 and get her the 13.3-inch version. Just be careful what kind of photos you upload if you want to hang onto her until next V-day.
We should start off by saying that the ChiliBed has one of the worst names we have ever heard. It sounds like something that happens after your Super Bowl party while you're asleep and drunk. But, the actual product seems like a pretty great idea. Water is channeled through coils within the mattress. The temperature of the water affects how the bed feels. You can make the water as hot as 118-degrees or as cold as 48-degrees, so you'll be comfortable sleeping without the need for a lot of heat or air conditioning. The product isn't actually available yet, making its debut on March 1st, so don't go throwing out that AC unit just yet. Also, we should reiterate that it has nothing to do with the delicious, red kind of chili made with meat and beans.

MotoArt Ejection Seat Chairs
By Fresno
The only thing that seems more exciting than actually flying a fighter plane is the prospect of using its ejector seat to launch ourselves out of it. These classy, and probably incredibly expensive office chairs start their lives as real B-52 bomber ejection seats. Then, they're given a make-over to make them more comfortable and a little more aesthetically appealing. So, they won't actually eject you up in the air, but it will sure as hell look cooler than that clapped out old office chair you've had since the late '90s.
Dyson Air Multiplier
By Fresno
Let's get this out of the way before we go any further: The Dyson Air Multiplier is basically a fan that costs $300. Now that you've had a moment to get over the sticker shock, it's time to appreciate just how cool this Halo-like device really is. When cranked up to maximum, the air multiplier churns through 119 gallons of air in a single minute, making it substantially more powerful than most other consumer-grade fans. Plus, it does all of that without rotating blades to cut off the tip of your dog's tongue. When it gets cold out, just turn it on its side and use it as the world's most expensive Nerf basketball hoop.
Zeo Personal Sleep Coach
By Fresno
If you're a fan of Nike's +iPod system for tracking your exercise, you'll probably be a big fan of this sleep-tracking system. You sleep with a band around your head that records information about your sleep and transmits it to the base. When you wake up, you can sync the info from the tracker to the company's website. It will help you figure out how to get the most out of the small amount of sleep you actually get. The end result is a complete analysis of your sleep pattern that could help you feel less crappy in the long run.
