Don’t be fooled by the name– the Stunning Ring is not what it seems. Designed to ward off attackers, it’s filled with “the strongest pepper spray available in the market today,” which can be released with a press of a button at times of immediate danger. More »

Violence is never the answer, but does this even count?

“The Marshmallow Shooter is an excellent addition to the office arsenal, shooting calamitous confections over 30 feet. It is easy to fire and reload, making it perfect for quick attacks (or rapid defense).” (via ThinkGeek) More »

Nothing says love like, “‘Til death do us part.” However, in the case of Tokidoki characters Adios and Ciao Ciao, death has not brought them apart, but together since they are both grim reapers.

First Docomo released the Q-Pot Melting Chocolate phones and now they’ve teamed up with Seventeen Magazine (Japan) to release the “SH-05B” on Feb. 5. For a phone that comes in two shades of pink and endorsed by Michelle Pfeifer in Grease 2, they couldn’t come up with a more creative name? Sounds a little drab next to “Melting Chocolate.” The pink shades the phone comes in are Yurukawa pink which means “loosely pink” and yancha pink which means “mischievous pink.” More »

From Rekuru:

For the Hello Kitty fan who thinks they have everything, you’re wrong! Because you don’t have the Hello Kitty video camera, that’s why!

As of yesterday, this Christmas wish isn’t the most legitimate for me. While Christmas shopping, I thought I’d actually buy myself a really cute phone charm from a local Japanese pop culture novelty store. Turns out, my new phone is not cute phone charm friendly. I shake my fist at you Samsung Eternity! More »

From Rekuru: Are you worried that your earphones are lackluster and dreary? Do you wish your headset would get off the couch and express itself more? Now your worries can slip away as easily as a cartoon character on a banana peel! Indeed, bananas, Mickey Mouse, and sushi seem to be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to eccentric earphones. Popping up all over the market are unique and sometimes downright silly novelty gear for your music-listening arsenal. More »

I feel like it’s slowly becoming my duty to inform people of the cute things they shouldn’t be eating because some sort of poisoning might result. Take Japan’s latest Docomo Q-pot Melting Chocolate phone. If the Docomo Q-pot phones had (cute chocolate) feet, it’d kick the LG Chocolate in the ass. It literally looks like a bar of chocolate! Although Q-pot is best known for its food-inspired accessories, you can’t actually eat them — the human digestive system isn’t capable of digesting. More »

Japan, you’ve done it again. The Strapya Itazura Coin Bank has got to be the cutest piggy bank I’ve ever seen. Although, given that it’s just a box with a kitty or puppy that pops out to take your money, I don’t think it’d be fair to call it a piggy bank. Perhaps, a kitty or puppy bank? Another question I’ve got in mind is…why stop at kitty banks? Why not ATM machines? More »

In case anyone’s been wondering, I’ve been an awfully good girl this year. I’ve been so good, you should probably start thinking about what to get me for Christmas. Just in case you’re fresh out of ideas, might I point you in the direction of all things USB-friendly? Like say USB panda head speakers, perhaps? More »
