Tattoo yourself - or the kids - with no pain and the added bonus of being able to scrub it off with hot soapy water. These decal papers enable you to use your inkjet printer to print 'tattoos' that look just like the real thing - from your own customised designs. They take minutes to do and, if left unscrubbed, will last up to a week. Why not ring the changes and create different tattoos for different occasions? Brilliant for kids and teenagers who love to experiment (or want to try out a design before having it tattooed for real!) Our tattoo sheets come in twos: one printable A4 sheet and one adhesive film. The process is quick and easy as well as painless (even if you have sensitive skin, as the 'tattoos' are water-based and non-toxic.) See our step-by-step guide for precise directions or download our instructions sheet. First print your tattoo onto the printable sheet (remembering to reverse your image/text - your computer will enable you to do this). Then transfer the image onto... See less

Eros and Psyche are a unique pair of beautiful sterling silver necklaces that, when placed together, form the shape of a single heart. The two halves are distinguished by size, complementing one another. They are inspired by the myth and love story between Psyche, a mortal princess of incredible beauty (whose name means ‘soul’ in Greek), and Eros, the God of Love. Their story is a celebration of destiny and the unity of love despite forces that try to keep them apart. See less

Remember when PDA stood for something other than personal digital assistant? It can again with the Hug Shirt, a high-tech garment that simulates the experience of being embraced by a loved one. When a friend sends you a virtual hug, your cell phone notifies the shirt wirelessly, via Bluetooth. The shirt then re-creates that person's distinctive cuddle, replicating his or her warmth, pressure, duration and even heartbeat. And, yes, the Hug Shirt is fully washable.

Insulated Evaporative Cooling Cap Our revolutionary evaporative cooling hat uses a patented Hydroweave system that actually uses the suns energy to cause evaporation that draws heat away from your head. You charge the hat by running it under cool water; after its excess water is wrung out, the hat keeps your head up to 30 cooler than the outside air temperature while keeping you dry and comfortable. The Hydroweave system combines hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-rejecting) fibers in a three-layer fabric that conducts body heat upwards, while retaining the cool water and releasing it slowly through evaporation; even while the middle layer holds onto water, your head remains cool and dry thanks to an inner lining that water cant permeate. The end result is a hat that actually cools you more effectively the hotter the air temperature. See less

Reader Martin sent us a pointer to this ingenious under-the-stairs storage solution featured at Desire to Inspire. How cool is that? Each step has its own drawer. I saw something just like this on Small Spaces, Big Style and they mentioned the idea comes from yachts and other boats where space is at a premium and under-stair storage is pretty common. I wonder how difficult it would be to retrofit an existing staircase with something like this. Any handy folks out there have any idea? See less

Better communication through technology! When you're driving your car there are times when a single finger gesture can perfectly express your sentiments to a fellow vehicle operator. Although this is a relatively efficient form of non-verbal communication, we would like to present a device that brings some technology to the table. The Driving LED Emoticon is a battery powered, wirelessly controlled message sign that can be attached to the rear window of your car via the included suction cup. A remote control unit is kept in the front of the car (fixed to front window, dash, or laid in a storage compartment) to activate the messages by pressing one of its buttons. It can display any one of five different messages - smiling face, frowning face, "Thanks", "Back Off" and "Idiot". We will, of course, leave it up to you to decide which of these messages suits your particular situation - but we do think it's nice to have a device that allows you to more clearly express yourself to other...

When the Belgian 501st Legion FanWars Garrison first suggested that one of its members, Benoît Lambert, create a Death Star-shaped PVC helium balloon, he was not only thrilled but already envisioning a chance to show off his artistic talents as well as his love for Star Wars--and his skills as a hot-air balloonist. Ironically, Lambert had already been thinking of building a Darth Vader hot air balloon when FanWars leader Nicolas Lelong (TK-2054) first brought up the idea. "For me, it was more of a joke and a fantasy, but Nicolas took it seriously and found the idea wonderful," Lambert says. "He made contact with Lucasfilm in order to try to get their agreement." Lucasfilm gave its approval for Lambert to have the balloon built with his own funds, using one of the most recognizable characters in cinema, as long as the balloon was not used for commercial pursuits. "We contacted Cameron -- the world's largest manufacturer of hot air balloons -- and a Darth Vader helmet replica was sent to... See less

Xerox Corporation scientists have invented a way to make prints whose images last only a day, so that the paper can be used again and again. The technology, which is still in a preliminary state, blurs the line between paper documents and digital displays and could ultimately lead to a significant reduction in paper use. The experimental printing technology, a collaboration between the Xerox Research Centre of Canada and PARC (Palo Alto Research Center Inc.), could someday replace printed pages that are used for just a brief time before being discarded. Xerox estimates that as many as two out of every five pages printed in the office are for what it calls "daily" use, like e-mails, Web pages and reference materials that have been printed for a single viewing. "Despite our reliance on computers to share and process information, there is still a strong dependence on the printed page for reading and absorbing content. Of course, we'd all like to use less paper, but we know from talking... See less

With his low menacing stride and striking animation, Roboreptile is an impressive mix of mobility, multi-sensory technology and fiery personality. This adventurous beast awakens with a jump, whips his long tail and springs into action. He's capable of high-speed running on all four legs, and he can turn on a dime on two legs. Roboreptile moves in many ways. He can be controlled directly with the remote, programmed to perform a sequence of functions, placed into guard mode, or put into his "Normal Mode" where he will roam the environment. A full array of sensors - vision, touch and sound - allow him to freely roam and interact with his surroundings. When he gets overly aggressive, he can be calmed with a push of the "feed" button on the controller. And when its time to rest, place the cowl over his eyes to put him to sleep. Roboreptile includes more than 30 preprogrammed functions, all handled through the remote. Requires 9 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 33" long. Colors may... See less
