If you've been blissfully unaffected by the recession, then first of all, more power to you, and second of all, may I interest you in a $180 flash drive?
The Swarovski crystal-covered
Robot Happy Laura Flash Drive is cute but holds a paltry 2GB of data.
But maybe you've got money to burn this holiday season and someone in mind who's a robot-freak geek who needs extra (but not very much extra) storage space.
Art, manatees, and
robots? If just the image of this
Manabot and Robotee Print ($25) doesn't charm you, wait till you read the artist's whimsical description: "Manabot lived in the wreckage of an undersea robot factory. He made Robotee out of spare parts to keep him company."
If I saw a pair of flaming, torso-less legs pushing a shopping cart down the street, I doubt I'd be as blithe as these folks who barely give it a second glance. Call me a wimp, but unless I just did a sheet of acid, this would cause me to pause, and perhaps to scream.
I've already covered robot paraphernalia for the
living room,
bedroom, and
kitchen, so what about the bathroom?
For only eight bucks, you can show your bathroom some robot-love with these colorful
Robot Toothbrush Holders.
And if you're someone like me who doesn't like having your toothbrush on display, you can use them for
razors too!
This is the stuff nightmares are made of. And I generally love
robots.
Clocks are on my mind this week as my body and schedules continue to be out of whack because of
Daylight Savings. I'm thinking of just chucking out all my clocks and getting new ones, because I am that freaked out.
First on the replacement list?
You don't have to tell me that I'm definitely too old to be coveting this
Robot Bedding ($60), I'm fully aware; but that doesn't make me want it any less!
If only I was 15 years younger (so it would be acceptable) or 15 years older (so it would be acceptable to force my future children to use).
For those of you for whom age ain't nothin' but a number, please buy it, love it, and then TeamSugar me your photos so I can live vicariously!
Who doesn't love a cute robot? Check out the fantastic and geeky robot-inspired jewelry and decorative items . . .
It's no secret I
love robots and robot-inspired jewelry and decorative items. They are cute, smart and celebrate everything I like about being a geek. Here's a look at some of my favorite robot fanfare.
Got a formal event to go to? Sure, you could get your boyfriend (or yourself, pardon me) a classy pair of cufflinks, but chances are they'll be boring as all get-out and won't be any sort of conversation starter.
These
Robot Cufflinks ($40), on the other hand, are conversation pieces and super-adorbs to boot.
