You’re just getting started in the work-a-day world and your appetite for social networking and microblogging is INSATIABLE. Seems only natural that you’d drop $30 on this Puppy Twitter Collar trinket for your dog. It sends out a Tweet “every time your pooch moves, barks, or naps,” which is still somehow less often than Robert Scoble and Jason Calacanis update Twitter.

Having some new friends over for dinner but you’re not quite sure how to creep them out? You can start with these $38 hand-shaped salt and pepper shakers. “Could you hand me the hand? No, the other hand? The one with the three holes in the palm instead of one? The pepper hand?”

This is an X-wing mailbox. Why are you still reading this?! Oh, right, you don’t know where to buy it. You can’t buy it. You’ll have to make it. And a person of your stature doesn’t make Star Wars-themed mailboxes; you hire someone to make one for you. Money isn’t an object but you’ll want to place this far, far away… from the curb.
