Trey Chair

According to Paramount Pictures, our world will be transformed when aliens make Earth their final battleground in Transformers. Yeah, well, here's a chair that should appeal to Megatron and Optimus Prime fanboys. The Trey Chair is as multifunctional as they come. It can be quickly "transformed" into an office chair, a gaming floor rocker with side table which itself can double as a footrest or extra seat. Tre(y)s cool? We'd say.

Keys U See

We know what we'll be getting our baby-boomer parents this Christmas. Finally, something for visually impaired computer users who won't have to squint their hardest or have to whip out their heavy-duty reading glasses to make out those keys. Now why didn't someone think of this sooner? Ugly cute, but hey, nobody's looking up close.

Remote Controlled Floating Serving Tray

The ultimate geek toy, next to an actual serving maid decked in Cosplay costume, we're sure. The laws of attraction apply either way. This one comes at the beck of a heavy-duty remote controller which will move your serving tray, within a 7m range, left, right, forward, backward and even one full circle. Built not to capsize (it'd better not), this water butler packs up to five drinks with a center bowl for snacks. If you're having a pool party, this ought to impress the heck out of your guests when you drive this over to them. Unfortunately, you'll have to draw straws to see who gets to bail out of the pool to raid the fridge.

The Handler

Looking more like a nose pick, we're surprised this thing even exists. The Handler is something you'd find in Monk's OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) arsenal of bacteria-fighting tools. For those who cringe at touching public door handles for fear of what's lurking on it, particularly public loos, this US$11 keychain kit acts like a low-tech miniature Captain Hook. It'll pluck open doors for you, and even tackle restroom levers and faucet handles. What raises this above the rest is a TLC of nano silver particles which will apparently shortcircuit up to 98 percent of any single cell organism foolhardy enough to encounter the Handler. And, no, don't try wiping your butt with this.

USB Chameleon

Don't you just love the wacky variants that have emerged from the fuzzy minds of third-party USB vendors? This one takes the cake, ah, chameleon, for being weird and totally pointless. Add this to the USB hamster and USB aquarium, and it's the start of your very own desktop petting zoo. The USB Chameleon plugs into the requisite port and essentially rolls its eyes, sticks its tongue out, and changes color. Duh. Altogether now: "Karma, karma, karma, chameleon…"
