Bloody Gift Wrap Makes for Bloody Good Times

Matt Buchanan — Sat, 19 May 2007 10:30:15 EDT

I think I'm going to buy a roll of this RudeWrap Vicious Paper Cut Bloody Gift Wrap and use it to give all of my friends a Baby Doll Lamp, turning one hilarious joke into at least three, none of which are in good taste.

Also appropriate for cuddy killer robots, Gloomy Bear mimobots and DIY blood-testing kits. $6 for two 20 x 30 sheets. – Matt Buchanan

Flipclips Turn Digital Video Into Analog Flippage

Charlie White — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 11:26:18 EDT

Flipclips is a website where you send your digital video and get back a little color flipbook that displays that video as you quickly thumb through its pages. The books are available in three different sizes—a 75-page flipbook ($9) is 3.5 inches wide and works best with a 15-second video clip, a greeting card ($11) is 4.25 inches wide with 50 pages and displays a 10-second clip, and then a storybook ($19) is 4.5 inches wide and looks best with a 30-second full-rez DV clip.

Sure, this concept is nothing new; I remember using Mac software that would let you do this back in 1994. The difference here is the quality of the books and the convenience of multiple printings, where you can send in one video and the company will print hundreds of these little books with the price getting lower as the volume gets higher. They would be great for weddings and parties and such. Not exactly new, but fun stuff nonetheless. – Charlie White

Teddy Bear Gun

Charlie White — Wed, 03 May 2006 10:20:25 EDT

Step away from the limousine, or I'll shoot you with this ... teddy bear? The Teddy Bear Gun capitalizes on a cutesy trend in Japan where wedding guests throw teddy bears at wedding receptions instead of rice or bouquets.

If teddy bear throwing sounds like a lot of work to you, here it's made easy with a simple touch of a button. Pull the trigger and the tiny plush bear is catapulted into the air, and once airborne, it'll float safely back to earth thanks to its tiny parachute. Made by paintball gun manufacturer Sunamiya, the party crackers will go on sale this month.
