If you enjoy Mario Kart Wii as much as I do, check out this radio controlled Mario Kart. This will probably be the closest thing you’ll get to real life Mario Kart. Unfortunately, this 1/32 scale model of Mario riding his kart can only go forward, backwards, or 360 degree turns. However, this toy will certainly keep the Mario Kart fans (and kiddies) happy.

Do you like plants but don’t necessarily have a green thumb? If you do, then this self watering planter is just for you. The built-in computer automatically checks the water level in your plant every 30 minutes and waters it if it comes up dry. You can store the specific water needs of your plant within the built-in computer which allows you to use the self watering planter for a variety of plants.

The planter fits a 10″ pot and requires 3 D batteries for use. So whether you do lack that green thumb or you are just lazy, you can purchase this self watering planter for $49.95 via Brookstone. A reasonable price considering the therapeutic benefit plants bring.

Time travel is not yet possible, but the next best thing is. Sanindusa’s Multisensis hydromassage cabin gives the look of a time capsule but is actually a spa cabin for hydrotherapy. With plenty of room, the inside has a seat with cushion not only for your tush, but also for your back and your head. So just picture extreme comfort as you shower and get a massage at the same time.

The solar powered Key Hole Light keeps you from wasting electricity by not having to keep your porch light on for hours when you go out at night. It is switched on by tapping the top of the unit and only stays on for about 10 seconds, conserving its solar power for up to 720 more uses on its full charge.

Either by using adhesive pads or screws, the LED light can be easily placed above your key hole. It comes in three finishes – white, chrome, or brass – and can be purchased for $12.95 via ComfortHouse.

Now if they only made this for car doors so I wouldn’t scratch my car’s paint while trying to find the keyhole at night…

If you’re like me and get little to no exercise, this alarm clock might be up your alley. Called “Shape Up!”, this dumbbell shaped clock sports an LCD at one end of the device, which displays the time and requires you to do 30 reps to turn it off. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen alarm clocks that require “energy” to turn off (see here, here, and here.) What separates Shape Up! from the rest is that not only will it annoy you, but it will provide you with a daily morning workout.

Shape Up! - Wake up with a workout

It has been rumored for over a year that Microsoft has plans to create a portable handheld gaming system to rival the likes of Nintendo’s DS and Sony’s PSP. Unfortunately, Microsoft is keeping a tight lid on the truth. However, the artists over at T3 Magazine couldn’t resist with their speculation on what such a device would look like from Microsoft. So, they decided to take matters into their own hands. T3 has published their rendition of the possible mobile device, combining a Zune, Xbox 360, and phone into one sleek package. In fact, the hybrid device looks pretty damn good. Although, what’s up with the flat-looking analog sticks? Regardless, the concept calls for 64GB of Flash storage — GTA IV on-the-go anyone?

Sometimes you just need to brush your teeth when you’re not at home, like say coming back to work from lunch. The problem is that most people don’t bring their toothbrushes outside their homes. Designer Yuanyan Li may have just come up with a solution. Called the Any Brush, it is essentially a disposable, slip-on toothbrush for your finger. Simply slide it onto your finger and brush away! The Any Brush comes in a very compact package that makes it extremely portable and even features a compartment to hold toothpaste. The best part is that the entire product is environmentally safe when discarded.

From my favorite Photoshop guru Pixeloo, comes Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. Just as disturbing as his Mario and Homer Simpson ‘untooning’, but equally awesome.
