Quff

Here's a frothy idea for the coffee generation that Starbucks can certainly tap. Off the Quff, er cuff, here're some ideas. BYOQ--Bring your own Quff, and we'll refund you 10 cents. Buy 20 cups and join the Latte-Quffing in crowd. Totally recyclable and does away with those wasteful paper sleeves. Did we say it makes a cheap but great gift, too?

Magnetic Paint

Here's paint with a twist that's not only great fun, it's just great for the kids' room, too. Slap it on, dab on some normal paint to camouflage the dull base, and voila. You can turn it into a learning wall for your children using magnetic letters of the alphabet, or use it as a giant family notice board. Now no one can say they missed that tiny Post-It message on the fridge. Simply ingenious.

PIX Sports

More shiny new toys. This one also just out from Korean company Xenofreaks which was responsible for the ego visualizer called PIX. The PIX Sports is, however, far more affordable and more functional and less in your face. It only not blinks a variety of patterns and messages very prettily, it also doubles as watch, stopwatch, timer and motion-sensitive counter. Its CEO Young Kyun Ha adds in his email pitch that one can additionally use the PIX Sports as a safety light for night activities, though he failed to elaborate on the last part.

Analog MP3 Watch With Voice Recorder

Just out from Japanese company Thanko is this analog watch which not only plays MP3s, it has a built-in voice recorder--fancy that. Possibly the first such we've heard of, it remains to be seen whether the pick-up is any good. Great fun until you find out that your office buddy may be secretly taping your complaints about the boss to rat on you. Horrors. Just a pity the watch face can't double as an LCD panel.
