Hello Kitty flower arrangements

Juniper Foo | Sep 23, 2005

If you thought you've seen everything, check out these Hello Kitty flowers. Gadget Buzz did a double take at a flower stand along Tokyo's famous Ginza strip. These blossoms are the real deal, only cleverly dotted with eyes and nose to resemble Sanrio's most famous export. As to how long these pricey if sweet-smelling blossoms will last is quite another thing. Comes in four different bouquets.

Integra Face Care System

Juniper Foo | Sep 21, 2005

There's life after reality TV after all. And no, we're not talking about all ye reality TV junkies out there, but UK's The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell who's out to prove that beauty really is skin-deep. The 26-year-old former transport manager with the London Underground has been developing a secret weapon for the Integra Face Care division, after being the last man standing on the BBC2 show to snag a £100,000 job with Sir Alan Sugar's firm, Amstrad. Now that the gadget's finally out, there's just one wrinkle. Someone ought to have whispered in Campbell's ear that micro-current simulation, which sends electric pulses to the skin apparently to tone facial muscles, ain't all that new. Next.

Brugo Mug

Juniper Foo | Sep 09, 2005

If you're coffee lover, chances are you'd have burnt your lips at least once gulping down hot Java. And if there's a spill-proof, temperature-regulating mug out there with your name on it, the Brugo Mug seems to be the one. Based on a patented Temperature Control Chamber that keeps the brew in that "Perfect Temperature Zone", the coffee in the chamber is cooled and only this liquid exits the sip opening, while a tight seal retains the rest at its hottest. We have to add that the Brugo mug looks mighty delicious, too, in 12 cool hues with swanky names like Seaglass, Truffle and Mediterranean. The lifetime warranty most certainly works in its flavor, oops, favor.
