Ashtray Clock

Nothing revelationary on the surface here. Just an ashtray with a clock. In fact, it's so subtle, your smoking buddy won't give it a second notice. But we like it. It's a good reminder that time's running out for those who persist in burning out their lungs. A countdown timer next? Wicked!

Leather Men's Wallet with Digital Photo Viewer

That picture-in-the-wallet cliché has been given a whole new image here. Rather than show off that wrinkled 2 x 3-inch photo print of your *insert appropriate apple of eye*, you can now display over 50 photos. The magic lies in a slim-built photo viewer that tucks neatly into the wallet with its plastic window corresponding with the device's 1.4-inch color screen. Images are easily transferred via USB connection to a PC, so there's always a fresh batch to show off. Pity the friend who asks to see your baby's photo, and getS a wallet-full of pictures ranging from her birth to her first step.

Centerfold Guitar

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. This calls itself the world's first folding electric guitar, which if you're a traveling troubadour, is just nifty. Thanks to a hinge mechanism made of aircraft-grade aluminum, you can collapse the guitar neck forward over the body with the strings rolled up into the instrument in a mere 20 seconds. According to the legend, SAS airline pilot Fredrik Johansson, an avid guitarist who clearly has to travel, took 10 years to work out a more mobile solution. At US$3,370, though, it's more rock than roll. But, hey, you'll still be the coolest strummer on the block, bar none.

Mophie Bevy

The US$64 million dollar question to this is, what in tarnation is a Mophie Bevy? Just to put you out of your suffering, it's really--take a deep breath--a fancy name for an iPod shuffle second-gen case that also doubles as--take another deep breath--a bottle opener and keychain. Seeing as it looks plastic, we're not sure how long the iPod casing will withstand all that rough handling from jaggy caps. Not to mention the inconvenience of having to remove the casing from your shuffle first.

Pure Gold Card

Even the Donald Trump doesn't have a gold card quite like this. But just in case you're tempted to trump the Trump, bear in mind that one of these 99.99 percent pure gold cards comes at US$83 per sheet, making this one name card you had better hang onto. That aside, this makes a great retirement gift for your (favorite) outgoing boss or as a little indulgence upon your promotion to VP perhaps.
