Countact Lens Case Keeps An Eye On Your Contact's Lifespans
A contact lens case for disposable lenses with a built-in back-lit LCD timer with customizable delay so you know when to replace your lenses. That's about all I need to say about Countact. The battery's built-in, so you can't replace it when it dies after about 3 months: but you all know you should change your case regularly no? Otherwise you'd get a nasty infection which'd mean we'd have to write Giz in BIG LETTERS so your crusty eyes could read it. A four-pack'll cost you $34. [Product via OhGizmo via BBG]

ECO Showerdrop Guilts You Into Taking Shorter Showers
In another attempt to shrink our global footprint, the ECO Showerdrop encourages you to quit your bad habit of taking girly showers (a.k.a. unnecessarily long showers). Unlike the Eco_Drop Shower, which made you physically uncomfortable until you removed yourself from the shower, the ECO Showerdrop will beep, time you, and measure your water usage—basically guilt you—until you finally switch off that water. However, this device only begins the guilting process after you've hit the time limit you've set for yourself, which could make the saving water aspect to this gadget pointless if you set the limit to, let's say, forever.

Cupcake Kitchen Timer Might Get You a Batch of Cupcakes or Two
This might be the perfect device to get someone to make more cupcakes for you: The Cupcake Kitchen Timer, which at 3.5 inches tall is almost big enough to qualify as a cake. Or you know what? You could take a giant leap and makes some cupcakes yourself! Don't bite into this one, though—it's made of hand-painted resin. Get 'em while they're hot, on sale for $23.95.

CubeTimer Turns Cooking into a Craps Game
Roll the CubeTimer to determine how long you should cook the chicken. Roll it again to determine the length of time to bake the cupcakes. It is all a game of odds. All right, not really. This digital timer has four sides for 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Place the timer with the desired cooking time up and the countdown will begin. It is a pretty convenient timer, but you will be screwed once you have to cook something for 18 minutes. Suckers! $15. More »

Simple, Yet Functional: Mark-My-Time Bookmark
Getting the kiddos to read can be in the pain in the ass sometimes—I should know, I have 13 kids (not really). But I can remember back in the day asking my mom over and over how much longer I had to read before going to play some Nintendo. The Mark-My-Time bookmark replaces the parent by including a countdown timer for reading. This way mommy can keep "entertaining" her guests without being pestered by the little ones about how much more reading needs to be done. So, everyone is happy! More »

Ramen Noodle Cup Timer
Because I am a poor, malnourished student, I have become one with the ramen noodles. Unfortunately I burn the hell out of my mouth because I am so eager to feed my mouth with scorching hot noodles. This ramen noodle cup timer is really just a basic timer. Dump the boiling water into the cup of noodles and place on the timer. It will ding when your noodles are cool enough to eat. More »

Shower Monitor: Ruining Your Life in Eight Minutes or Less
The Waitek Shower Monitor is a timer that activates automatically when the water is turned on, and then after a predesignated time limit between five and eight minutes, it starts emanating an annoying honk that can be heard all over the house. The only way to turn off that beeper is to turn off the water for at least two minutes. It has an LED readout that shows you how much time you have left as well as the temperature of the water.

No More Excuses: Birth Control Pill Case
Here's a great idea for a birth control pill package, where a 24-hour alarm sounds at the time you designate, and when you twist open the case, it stops the alarm. Take a pill, twist the case closed and that alarm is reset for the next day. Careful, though—might be a bit embarassing if that alarm goes off during Mass. More »
