Fatheads
By Fresno
This is a pretty good time of year for sports fans. Baseball is in full swing. NFL is so close that John Madden is having his bus detailed and the NBA season is looming. To get ready, now is the time to decorate and the only way for true fans to do so is with giant pictures of their favorite athletes. Fatheads has over 1,000 images featuring just about any player or team you can think of. They're easy to apply and to take off. Though, we can't think of many reasons to take them down. Unless you have your Kobe Fathead up and your Celtics fan date is coming over.
LoveSac Alternative Furniture
By Fresno
It's no secret that sitting is awesome, but where you site can have a distinct effect on how much enjoyment you get out of it. With LoveSac's alternative furniture, you can sit however you want. They make several stand-alone sacs that can be positioned and lounged upon in pretty much any position. But, if you want to take it to the next level, you can also step up to a Sactional. It almost looks like a tradtional couch, but because of the versatility of the LoveSac system, you can arrange it in an almost endless array of layouts. They have a wide selection of color options and they're filled with DuraFoam to ensure that they never get squashed flat no matter how many times you flop down on them. The options really are staggeringly extensive, so check out the site for the full Sac selection.
105G CAVS 105G Karaoke Player
By Fresno
Travel to Japan and you'll find that people there take Karaoke ridiculously seriously. But, here in the States, we deprive ourselves of the unabashed joy involved with making a total jerk out of yourself set to a soundtrack of classic songs. This relatively compact player lets you live out your rockstar karaoke fantasies in the comfort of your own home without requiring you to keep a giant machine sitting around your living room. This player hooks up to your TV via composite, component S-Video of SVGA cables. It has two microphone ports and puts out high-quality signals and even comes with a remote control. Just make sure you're stocked up with plenty of Karaoke Songs to keep your neighbors annoyed and your guests entertained.
Every time we go to the mall, we end up hanging around in Brookstone, waiting for that fat guy and the little kid to get out of the massage chairs so we can get rubbed down by a piece of someone else's furniture. But, if if you're in the market to actually buy one, you can now control it with your iPod Touch or iPhone. You can fully customize yor massage routine right from the apps interface using Bluetooth. It retails for $5,999, so you'll have to be a seriously baller (or just someone with a seriously sore back) to spring for one. But, if you drop the cash, you can expect high end rubbing from a super comfortable chair. It even has leg and foot areas to ease your pain after a long day on your feet. Or, if you work on the Internet like us, in a different, less awesome chair.
Memory Chair
By Fresno
A while back we showed you the Do Hit Chair that comes as a block of metal and needs to be pounded into shape with a hammer. Designer Tokujin Yoshioka has taken a similar concept that involves just as much sitting, but a lot less manual labor. The Memory Chair is made from a special fabric composed of recycled aluminum, which allows the chair to memorize your body shape. We assume there's some kind of internal structure to hold up the foil, otherwise it would smash completely flat, especially after we put down a few of the burgers from the Cheese & Burger society website.
Giving your girl coal on the most romantic day of the year might sound like a bad idea, but this isn't the same stuff Santa has been cramming into your stocking ever since you stole that candy bar when you were 11. These ashy-looking sticks are made in Japan and are incredibly interesting to look at. The outside is ashy, while the ends, where they were cut, are shiny and marbled. Each stick has millions of "micro-cavities" which absorb moisture when it's humid and then re-release it when it gets dry. They also act as a fantastic, unscented air freshener, by absorbing all the stink out of the air. Once it stops working, you can "recharge" it by simply sitting it in the sun. One bundle will run you $20, but you'll get to spend all that time explaining the gift, which will make you sound like you really put a lot of thought into it.
Flowers can be a totally lame gift for V-day if you're just going to order up some cheesy, themed arrangement with a firetruck-shaped vase and a card that says, "You set my heart on fire" or some other cheesy slogan that they stole from one of those little candy hearts. If you're going to go the flower route, opt for an interesting vase like this 10-inch porcelain piece of art. It's designed to give the illusion that it's traveling at a high rate of speed. It's cool looking, it's different and it probably won't end up thrown in the garbage once the flowers inside of it die and the gross water spills all over her living room floor. $160.
Yankee Stadium Seat
By Fresno
If you're a baseball fan, you probably have strong feeligns about the New York Yankees in one way or another. But, there's no denying the fact that a lot of history went down in the old Yankee Stadium. Each one of these $750 seats has a genuine back and bottom from a seat taken out of the stadium before the Bronx gave it the business with a wrecking ball and some explosives. The arms are made from cast iron, so you'll just need a beef hot dog and a whole pile of yelling, belligerent fans to get the full experience.
Zero Edge Aquariums
By Fresno
We always said that, if we became super villains, we would get a giant fish tank to put in our office so our enemies would know we meant business. We're tweaking that little now and opting for one of these "high definition" aquariums. These aquariums have no top and the water runs down the sides of the glass into hidden drains. From there it's recirculated back into the tank. The result is a glass-like sheet of water on the outside of your tank that makes everything inside look incredible. It's also quiet, energy efficient and a heck of a lot cooler than that old 2-liter bottle you've been keeping your fish in. $1,299 and up.
Fender Blackface HotSeat
By Fresno
If you need storage and an extra seat in your house, Fender may have the coolest solution ever. While the HotSeat doesn't actually work like an amp, it looks the part to a T. That's because Fender builds each one to the exact spec as they do their audio rigs. Inside you'll find a place to store, well, whatever needs storing around your house. The interior is lined with swanky red padding to keep all of your trinkets safe. Plus, there's a cushion on top, so you can make someone sit on it when all of your jerk family members come over for Thanksgiving. $180.
Cinelounger CinePet Lounger
By Fresno
If there's one thing home theater freaks and pet fanatics have in common, it's that they're not afraid to spend thousands of dollars on crap to fuel their obsessions. This wacky piece of furniture combines both of those mad worlds into one incredibly expensive dog couch. The 54-inch couch has "treat storage" in the arm and a stainless steel holder for a dog bowl. It comes in a whole heap of different colors to match the rest of the company's line of home theater chairs. The velvet version costs $1,695 and the leather version runs $1,995. Sure, it's a lot of money, but it'll look classier in your living room than the filthy towel your dog currently sleeps on.
Slam Gaming Towers
By Fresno
We know that Xbox 360 is awesome, but having controllers and game cases strewn about your living room makes it look like you live in a dorm room. This handy tower has space for up to 16 games, four controllers and your console, all of which get neatly stacked so they stay out of the way. There's even a side rack for your Guitar Hero controller, which we know you have tripped over at least once. There's also a verion for the Wii, but we'll have to find more than two Wii games worth buying before we'll spring for that one. Take that, cute console! $60.
