Strong Like Bull Magnets – Enough Said

SIMPLY COOL

Whether you use them to hold your kids’ drawings on your door-in-a-door fridge or all your tardiness memos on the office file cabinet, small pin magnets are awesome.

World’s Smallest Automatic Umbrella Fits Your Trouser Pockets

If you’re looking for the smallest but still perfectly functional umbrella you can find, the World’s Smallest Automatic Umbrella may be just what you need. Small enough to cram into a trouser’s pocket (if [...]

Is This The Manliest Cloth Hanger Ever?

FASHION, SIMPLY COOL

Maybe your flimsy plastic hangers can handle your current wardrobe. But what about in the future when they start building outfits with integrated robot parts and gadgets and all that?

Lace Anchors Eliminate The Need To Tie Your Shoes

A small accessory that goes behind the top eyelets of your kicks, it locks your laces in place with [...]

Transporter Boat Compacts Into A Towable Box

Granted, the resulting box isn’t small enough for carrying around like a bag. The bundled pack, though, allows it to be crammed into the back of an SUV, tied down to the roof of your [...]

A Legal Tender Transformers Coin Set

ENTERTAINMENT, SIMPLY COOL

If comic book fanboys ruled the world, all legal tender will have superheroes in them, instead of historical personalities you may or may not even care about. Everybody loves superheroes, after all.

Not for New Zealand, though, but the nearby Niue Island. That means, they can be used to pay for Transformer toys, bus fare and [...]

GADGETS, SIMPLY COOL

No, we don’t need another multi-tool. Unless it looks like a rhinoceros, that is. And that’s exactly what the Rhino Multitool uses to entice us with its charm.
