HED: Hi, tech!

DEK: Groovy gadgetry that will rock your world, or at the very least, kiss your world on the cheek and make it dinner.

I Rub My Duckie
(www.irubmyduckie.com)
This rubber ducky ($20 US) may possess the innocent demeanor of your garden-variety aquatic bird of the Anatidae family, but flick a switch on its back and it'll heave you into guilty, oscillating bliss. If you want motion in your ocean, this 2AA battery-operated toy is perfect. Finally, a vibrating piece of plastic that your boyfriend won't be envious of! Boo-ya!

Oxygen Shot
(www.oxygenshot.com/)
A brisk spray of Oxygen Shot ($15 US) will rejuvenate the body after rigorous activities and, as the website states, it’s 100 percent natural – so you're not getting any of that shoddy man-made oxygen. Definitely a gift for someone who has absolutely nothing, not even their God-given right to enjoy readily available oxygen.

Toastabags
(www.toastabags.com)
Turn a toaster into a sandwich maker with this simple and convenient product ($10 US for two). Grab a sandwich – or even a steak, bacon, fish, French fries – and shove it into this reusable bag made of a material stronger than most people’s will to live! Recommended for students, busy people on the go and those who don’t own a fucking oven.

Olympia Soundbug
(www.soundbug-us.com)
Plug this stupendous device with NASA technology ($40 US) into your stereo and stick it to any hard and flat surface to create a makeshift speaker. Works on windows, walls, desks and even your boyfriend’s back! Crank up the volume to turn him into your own six-foot tall, walking and talking vibrator that’ll even fetch you water when you’re thirsty – but you've already thought of that.

Lomo ActionSampler
(www.lomo.com)
The philosophy behind the two-decade-old Lomography movement is akin to the LAPD’s: shoot first and ask questions later. Dive into this trend that’s spreading faster than Mad Cow with the ActionSampler ($45) – a simple point-and-shoot with four light-sensitive lenses that’ll take four consecutive images and merge them into one single exposure. And then it’ll put your old camera into a headlock and steal its shoes.
